Eldercare Services Division (ESD)
Eldercare Services Division comprises of four departments, namely:
Elder Education Department provides a gamut of active ageing programmes that reaches out to seniors in the community. To encourage seniors to maintain active lifestyles, the department offers a wide variety of programmes to promote lifelong learning, healthy living, social networking and inter-generational bonding. Their efforts to encourage seniors to adopt digital technology is a key thrust to give seniors more options – in the way they receive information and how they communicate with others. The department believes that learning never stops.
Cluster Support Department aims to deliver holistic care that is centred on an individual’s needs. It mainly targets seniors that are frail, whom have multiple care needs, that will become increasing complex with time. With the integration of community-based aged and social care services, it enables the seniors to continue to stay in the community for as long as possible, therefore allowing them to age-in-place.
Health Care Support Department supports frail/home-bound elderly in their healthcare needs so that they can remain to age well at the comfort of their homes and in the community. The department understands the challenges faced in taking care of elderly at home. They ensure there is continuity of care integrating healthcare and social support whenever necessary so that caregivers and their loved ones will be well-supported and enjoy good care at the same time.
Active Ageing Centre Department serves as a key point of contact for seniors under their care. These AACs proactively reach out to seniors, organise social activities and provide opportunities for seniors to interact with members of the community, with the aim to enable seniors to adopt an active lifestyle, pre-empt social isolation, and refer seniors to assistance in a timely fashion.
