On 17 October 2015, the Grassroots leaders and volunteers of the Teck Ghee constituency were the first to try out the new mobile app, AICare Link, during an outreach event for some 40 residents.
Developed by the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC), the mobile app features a comprehensive list of schemes including Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS), Seniors’ Mobility and Enabling Fund (SMF), Caregivers Training Grant (CTG) and Foreign Domestic Worker (FDW) Grant. They simply need to key in the relevant particulars of the people enquiring on the schemes. It is a quick step to enable more seniors to know about and apply for the financial aid available to help them live well and age gracefully in their homes and the community.
