In Ang Mo Kio-Thye Hua Kwan Hospital Integrated Rehabilitation Programme (IRP) focuses on creating activities within the hospital environment that mimic patients own experiences outside the hospital to better integrate them back to their homes and community. IRP is run by our Therapy Assistants and supported by volunteers daily from Monday to Saturday. We organise 24 Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) activities/ volunteer programmes for IRP patients. Aimed at enhancing our patients cognitive skills these activities include, socialisation, exercise and therapy-based programmes such as Seated Tai-chi, Arts Day session, Karaoke session and Bingo session. IRP allows patients to spend more time outside of their bed to interact more with others. This provides them with a source of social and emotional support. It also helps to improve patients motor skills and cognition. It also gives them the confidence to do the things they enjoy.
