Singapore Christian Home set up in the 1960's, is a not-for-profit nursing home, committed to the care of destitute and persons from low income families with long term medical and nursing needs.
In providing long term, respite and crisis-situation care, the Home offers :
- avenues of care option for frail and sick persons, regardless of age, with complex nursing care requirements, financial difficulties or no family support;
- care-givers respite to recharge or to attend to their personal needs; and
- assistance to families when normal care arrangements to the dependent members are disrupted
The Home's adult residents are largely 70 years and above, with a handful of centurions. They require constant care and supervision due to multiple chronic conditions.
In 2017, the Home, in response to the growing needs of medically fragile children and young persons whose families are unable to provide them with the level of care required, dedicated a ward for care of this cohort.
Each resident in the Home have long term care needs that become increasingly complex with increased frailty. The Home is often the place they will be in till they pass on. A multi-disciplinary team, complemented by dedicated volunteers, render constant care, emotional, psychological, social, pastoral and financial support to residents and their families.
Your donation to the Home will enable us to support many more individuals and families in need.
