St. Andrew's Nursing Home (SANH) (Buangkok) is a service of St. Andrew's Mission Hospital.

Opened in November 2013, the psychiatric nursing home provides long term residential care for 300 residents, many whom are suffering from mental conditions and dementia.

In line with our vision to be the light in the dark, we live our values through the provision of nursing and rehabilitative care to all our residents with love and compassion. We have a dedicated team of more than 140 care staff, supported by 30 operations staff together with professions like doctors, pharmacist, physiotherapists and occupational therapists and psychologist/counsellor. We also have a chaplaincy team to support spiritual recovery programmes when needed. Our therapists organise various social activities, such as communal gardening, cooking, woodwork, sheltered workshops, painting and craftwork as part of occupational therapy, promote their end products at sales booths so that their confidence's level is built up and social skills are being developed. All residents with rehabilitative recovery potential have care plans which include regular exercises and activities to maintain, restore and maximise physical, basic daily activity functional abilities of our residents.
