I shared more on Age Well Neighbourhoods (AWN) today at Agency for Integrated Care - AIC Singapore’s “Life Unstoppable” roadshow today.
AWN has been many years in the making, and represents the next level ambition for our healthcare system. It will be a major, multi-year project.
Our long-term solution to ageing is for seniors to age gracefully and healthily within their neighbourhoods.
In short, AWN combines stepping up of four initiatives:
1️⃣ Projecting our Active Ageing Centres’ activities outside of their physical confines and deeper into the community.
2️⃣ Doing more with our Community Health Posts to deliver more preventative care.
3️⃣ Siting Home Personal Care services closer to the community (and after office hours) to support seniors and their caregivers.
4️⃣ Continue improving the physical environment with MND and MOT.
By integrating these initiatives, we can transform a community into an Age Well Neighbourhood.
We have selected Toa Payoh as a start. We will select a couple more pilot sites. We will announce them when ready.
