Seniors

Started in 1976, and formerly known as Community Home for Senior Citizens, AWWA’s Senior Community Home (SCH) provides accommodation for the elderly aged 60 and above, who have no alternative living arrangements. They are low-income seniors who are unable to live with their families because of breakdown in relationship. The elderly must be a Singapore citizen or permanent resident of Singapore.

 

SCH was founded on the vision of enabling seniors who expressed the desire to live independently and to support their integration into the community. for as long as possible in the community. SCH organises regular activities to maintain its residents’ physical, social and mental health. Services and care provided are person-centred (high-touch), community-integrated (high volunteers and partners involvement), and team-based (multi-disciplinary), and residents are also empowered to take care of their own units and daily living needs.
