Programme Name:
Communities of Care (CoC) 2.0
Programme Background:
The Communities of Care 2.0 programme aimed to better support seniors and provide them with seamless care, by developing a well-coordinated network of partners in their local areas. Seniors would be better supported as the providers are able to refer seniors to the appropriate partners in their network, ensuring no senior falls through the gaps. The programme has played a crucial role in guiding the planning framework for organising care in the sector, giving confidence for MOH and AIC to launch the Integrated Community Care Provider (ICCP) concept.
Programme Name:
Silver@Work
Programme Background:
The Silver@Work programme by Centre for Seniors (“CFS”) developed a job-matching and deployment platform to facilitate senior employment in the community. Partnering with 24 Active Ageing Centres (“AACs”), CFS launched a micro-jobs initiative that enables seniors to get paid for completing simple community tasks (e.g. meals delivery and medical escort services). This keeps seniors active and engaged, aligning with their interest in purposeful work, and resulted in a pool of potential micro-jobbers who can be deployed to perform tasks benefitting local communities across Singapore.
