Our Objectives

After 2 years of battling Covid-19 and with the opening of our new Sunflower block, we need to understand the normality we knew before will not return. Our home will take the necessary steps to adjust our care service model and operational processes to meet the demands of the new norm and continually maintain a high standard of governance. Our objectives and proposed actions within the next two years include the following:

To measure our home’s compliance with the guide lines outlined in The revised Code of Governance for Charities and Institutions of a Public Character that will take effect from the charities’ financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2024 and take necessary remedial actions to close the gaps, if any.
To tap on NCSS grant to appoint consultant to conduct in-depth analysis of our home’s organisational health. Based on findings, we will develop strategies to strengthen our home further.
We believe our residents should continue to live with dignity and thrive through life’s transition. We will promote the Active Living and Dignified Living programmes, focusing on the introduction of technology. Active living is an approach to life that values and includes physical activity in everyday living. Dignified Living Programme is a multi-sensory intervention programme providing positive experiences to improve quality of life for bedbound residents.
Incorporating the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) elements into our business model by identifying gaps and develop action plans, pulling all the different elements of ESG into a cohesive strategy and integrating them into our business model.
