1979
Zion Home For The Aged is a sheltered home for aged females. It was established in 1979 by Zion Presbyterian Church, in response to a call to charitable organizations to help care for the destitute. Admission criteria used to be very stringent, with cases vetted and approved by the Ministry of Social Welfare. However, the needs are different now. The destitute have decreased but the elderly and frail whose dependents are unable to care for them are on the increase. We shall continue to cater to the needs of both these groups of senior citizens.
Zion Home For The Aged is a registered society and also a charity registered under the Charities Act of 1982. It is a full member of the National Council of Social Service (NCSS).
Zion Home is licensed to accommodate a maximum of twelve residents. In addition to the lounge and dining area, there is an air-conditioned hall for recreational and counseling purposes.
For elderly females with/without dependents. Full board and lodging is provided. Due to space constraints we are unable to accept male residents.
For the elderly and frail females who need temporary respite, e.g. when their children or other dependents are away or are unable to care for them. Full board and lodging is provided.
For those whose dependents cannot care for them in the day. But the dependents have to arrange their own transport to bring the elderly to the home. Meals are provided and rest area is available…
Residents enjoy a relaxed home-like environment with shared meals, leisure activities, fresh air, and freedom to rest comfortably at their own pace.
Cash contributions and essential items such as food, toiletries, and household necessities are welcomed to support the daily needs of residents.
Individuals, groups, students, working adults, & retirees are invited to volunteer either occasionally or on a regular basis.
Volunteers may assist through caregiving, physiotherapy, haircuts, housekeeping, maintenance works, gardening, catering, outings, and spending meaningful time with residents.
