Overview

• The pilot, announced at the National Day Rally, will launch in Toa Payoh and one or two other senior-dense HDB towns to extend assisted-living elements across neighbourhoods.
• Residents will benefit from more accessible active-ageing centres, a broader menu of home-based care options and community health posts staffed by public-hospital nurses.
• Care Corner Singapore plans six new satellite active-ageing centres in Toa Payoh over the next two years to reduce walking distances for seniors.
• The Ministry of National Development and the Ministry of Health will test the model’s components and share detailed operational plans, funding and coordination frameworks later.
• Experts caution that stronger integration among multiple service providers and adoption of productivity-enhancing technologies will be vital to address staffing and resource constraints.
