Future Planning
Make
early care plans with your loved one who is still active and able to indicate his/her preferences.
Befriending
If your loved one lives alone or feel lonely, we can match them with friendly volunteer befrienders in their neighbourhood! The befrienders will visit them regularly to lend a helping hand and listening ear.
Care and Support in the Community
Silver Generation (SG) Ambassadors
Silver Generation (SG) Ambassadors actively reach out to all Singapore Citizens aged 65 and above to share with them activities and services under CNS. They are trained to identify the needs of seniors and will link vulnerable seniors to social and health community partners, so that they receive timely help.
Keen to Volunteer?
Learn about being an SG Ambassador here. If you would like to know more or sign up for CNS programmes or become SG Ambassadors, please call the AIC Hotline at 1800 650 6060.
Day Care
Your loved one can exercise and interact with other seniors while you are at work. Transportation can be arranged to and fro the centre, if needed.
"I like spending the day with friends at the centre and going home to my family in the evening.”
