In AsiaOneโ€™s Ordinary People series, our No One Dies Alone (NODA) volunteer Edward shows how an โ€˜ordinaryโ€™ life can leave an extraordinary mark. He befriends patients who do not have family support and spends time with them in their final hours, ensuring that no one takes lifeโ€™s last journey alone. Watch the video: https://www.facebook.com/asiaonecom/videos/1269815151341005/
A big thank you to our volunteers for journeying with our patients and thank you, AsiaOne, for sharing this story and shining a light on the quiet compassion that volunteers like Edward bring to palliative care.

Welcome to Assisi on Air as our music therapist Trudy brings you lovely music to lift your spirits! While you are listening, our patients and staff are also enjoying the music through our PA system.

๐ŸŽถ The song โ€œTodayโ€ by John Denver reminds us to live in the present moment, to loosen our grip on the past or future, and to appreciate the simple joys of life.

๐Ÿ˜‰ Fun fact: Assisi On Air started in 2020 during the heart of COVID-19. The music therapists shared live music over the PA system and social media, with lyrics and messages to uplift and encourage the Assisi family and the wider community.

Who "wood" have guessed that a few pieces of wood, some sandpaper, and lots of laughter could create such special memories?

A big shoutout to volunteers from Standard Chartered Singapore for joining our Day Care patients for a fun-filled woodcraft workshop! Together with expert instructors from Roger&Sons, the patients and volunteers rolled up their sleeves, got crafty, and made some beautiful wooden coasters โ€” and even more beautiful connections. Every carve and polish came with stories, smiles, and a whole lot of heart. Together, they shaped more than wood. They shaped moments that truly matter.

Thank you, Standard Chartered and Roger & Sons, for helping us create lovely memories for our patients!

"They may be gone, but never forgotten." Our patients share what they miss most about the Singapore of the past โ€” from vanished roadside stalls to old trishaws. โค๏ธ

On this Nursesโ€™ Day, we celebrate the compassion and dedication of Assisi Hospiceโ€™s nurses. Their care doesnโ€™t just touch the lives of our patients; it deeply moves their families as well.

Hear from the loved ones of our patients as they share their heartfelt gratitude and stories about the amazing nurses who make all the difference every day.

I would like to dedicate the song โ€œThank Youโ€ by Celine Dion to all of our nurses today. Your kindness, strength, and dedication touch lives every day. This song is for you, with heartfelt gratitude for all you do.

Congrats to our Assistant Nurse Clinician Mya Nyein Soe on receiving the Nursesโ€™ Merit Award 2025!

Nyein Soeโ€™s childhood ambition was to be a lawyer โ€“ to advocate justice for those who needed a voice. She became a nurse who advocate for her patients โ€“ even when they may be unable to communicate or express their wishes.

Being in nursing for over 20 years, her ability to go beyond the lack of verbal communication and see the needs of patients enable her to connect with them. She shared about a patient Mr C, who was in his 50s. He had advanced dementia and was unable to verbalise how he felt. She said, โ€œI could see that there was a lot of anger in him, and he would often scream loudly. Despite that, I would still take the time to talk to him and understand his needs. After journeying with him for almost a month, he began to acknowledge us with a โ€˜yesโ€™ sometimes, and would even smile at us.โ€

For another patient, Mr T, she did not expect her simple act of service to touch him. She said, โ€œI noticed that his nails were long and he was uncomfortable, and offered to help trim them. After I was done, he had tears in his eyes as he thanked me. It was something small but what he needed and wanted, and perhaps he was too embarrassed to ask for it.โ€

In her current role as an assistant nurse clinician for education, she is heartened to be able to share her knowledge and empower fellow nurses.

How do you like your kale? Raw, crispy or stir-fried with oyster sauce? Our Day Care patients at Assisi Hospice got to try them all โ€” freshly harvested from our very own hydroponic garden! With our newly developed hydroponic garden, patients can now try their hands at growing and harvesting their own vegetables through hydroponics, an exciting experience for most! 89 year-old Mdm Goh Sai Choon was among the first to harvest the kale grown in our garden, and tasted them too. After tasting the different โ€œrenditionsโ€ of kale, she voted for her favourite โ€“ stir-fried kale with oyster sauce, which was also the most popular among all the patients. For Mdm Goh, who had been a housewife devoted to cooking and caring for her family, the experience was especially meaningful as she discovered how to grow the same ingredients she once cooked with.

Moments like these remind us that even something as simple as a leafy green can carry stories, spark curiosity, and nourish the soul โ€” no matter your age.

Thank you to the Moh Foundation for making the hydroponics programme possible and for helping us grow more than just vegetables โ€” but joy, learning, and connection too.

Back to the Kampung Days! Our Day Care patients recently enjoyed a nostalgic outing to House of Melissa Boutique Farmstay by The Sundowner , where they relived the simple joys of kampung life โ€” from chicken rearing and beeswax candle making, to coffee roasting and sugar cane juicing! For 83-year-old Mdm Leong Yoke Chee, the activity stirred memories of her younger days. She once lived in an attap house in Hougang, where her family raised chickens and pigs โ€” but back then, she was too busy making clothes in a factory to help out much. So when she got to feed chickens during the outing, it was a small but meaningful moment that brought the past full circle.

A huge thank you to the amazing volunteers from Cisco Systems (USA) Pte. Ltd (Cisco) who spent the day with our patients โ€” lending their hands, hearts, and smiles to make it extra special.
