Care for the Elderly Foundation Singapore Care for the Elderly Foundation (Singapore)

The Foundation had its beginnings as an informal volunteer group in 1992 which provided transport and escort services to elderly and immobile patients who needed to attend specialist outpatient clinics in hospitals. Seeing the need for a more comprehensive approach to helping the frail elderly, the Foundation was formally set up in 1995 and registered as a charity in 1996.

โ€œThank you once again. My dad, mum and I thoroughly enjoyed our time. We had so much fun that day.โ€
โ€œI would like to thank Ms Sandy Lim and her team for their dedication and kind gesture. I am sure the outing meant a lot for the family.โ€

These heartfelt messages were from Mr Ngโ€™s family members after the outing to Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery.

Through a discussion on Advance Care Planning, social worker Sandy gathered information about the places the family used to frequent and initiated an outing. From the initial planning, the enthusiasm from Mr Ng and Madam Boh was evident, as it had been a while since they last went out together after Mr Ngโ€™s mobility deteriorated.

Observing the bright smile from Mr Ngโ€™s face when we set off, joyful coincidence of Madam Boh meeting and conversing with a friend, along with positive interactions between the family and the team while enjoying the serenity, was a testament to the importance of social support for our homebound elderly in the community.

The outing was made possible thanks to our social workers Sandy and Janelle, Nurse Pei Fen, staff from KMSPKS, driver from Vimo Services as well as our team of colleagues for rendering their support despite the heavy downpour that day.

This is part of our ongoing commitment to enrich patientsโ€™ lives through meaningful experiences.

Mr K used to enjoy leisure walks and run errands within the neighbourhood but now faces challenges to do so after several falls. He is currently using a trolley as his mobility aid and faces physical limitations due to osteoporosis.

The current form of entertainment for Mr K is to tune in to radio at home, with the deterioration of his vision due to cataract. He stays alone and his caregiver can only make occasional visits to check in on him.

Our Care Associates manage the housekeeping for Mr K on a weekly basis, while our Staff Nurse conducts periodic assessments which include vital signs monitoring, to evaluate his medical condition and determine individualized care plan needs.

With the highlight on integration of community resources to support elderly to age in place, ongoing support remains crucial in ensuring families like Mr. K receive adequate help to provide comfort, security and a sense of dignity.

After visiting a patient last Thursday, our team mates - Senior Staff Nurse Hong, Rozar and Chan Kwan were queuing to get pancakes and fruit juice at Bedok Mall. Their lunch plans were derailed when they heard a loud sound and saw an elderly man collapsed with seizure fits.

With guidance from Nurse Hong, the team was able to execute first aid skills while waiting for the ambulance. Chan Kwan supported the manโ€™s head in recovery position while Rozar executed her professionalism to constantly check on the manโ€™s oxygen level, cleaned up oral fluids and ensured that he was conscious. A staff from Spacio TCM Wellness also came and help during the process. After the paramedics arrived, Nurse Hong updated the SCDF team on what help had been given.

We are grateful and proud of our colleagues for their quick responses and extending their professionalism beyond their call of duty.
