Remember the delicious fish curry from your Chetti Melaka grandmother? Probably the best-tasting ngor hiang from your Ah Ma? A bowl of mee rebus made with love by your Nenek? Or the sweet taste of kaya from the local bakery that your grandfather bought every weekend?

When asked about our favourite food, sometimes we are transported back to the fondest memories, and our elders at St Luke's ElderCare feel the same.

Living in a food-crazed city like Singapore, grabbing a plate of our favourite dishes from a local joint at any time comes with minimal challenges. However, this may be different for some elders. Due to varying reasons, from financial constraints and technological obstacles to mobility restrictions, a plate of Char Kuay Teow may seem out of reach.

At St Luke's ElderCare, we want to ensure they have access to these simple pleasures and even a chance to relive fond memories. And you can help!

Your generous contributions will go to the SLEC Dining Culture Programme, which aims to provide thematic meal opportunities and assistive devices for over 2,400 elders at our islandwide senior care centres, active ageing hubs and residential homes.

The SLEC Dining Culture programme distinguishes itself from other meal provisions through its concerted efforts to promote healthy eating habits. A positive dining culture also has the added benefit of improving relationships and increasing elder nutritional intake through improved food presentation, taste, and nutrition.
