Older persons community-based services
Community-based care promotes good health and prevents sickness while providing the elderly with rehabilitative care.
The purpose of community-based care is to:
- maintain the health and well-being of the elderly,
- prevent them from getting sick,
- help them care for minor health problems and long-term conditions, and
- make sure they recover from illnesses and hospitalisation.
Service centers run by recognised NPOs provide community-based care and support services.
Contact registered NPOs who provide community-based care and support services. Service centres give older persons the opportunity to engage in activities and services such as exercise, recreational activities, cultural and spiritual activities, awareness campaigns, educational and skills activities, and lunches.
