Sheltered Home for Elderly Persons

Our Home

Established in December 1958, St. John's Home for Elderly Persons is a Sheltered Home for elderly persons who are ambulant and aged above 60.

Our Mission is to provide shelter and care to meet the physical and spiritual needs of elderly persons who have no home and no children or close relatives with adequate resources to care for them.

The Home is open to all regardless of race or creed.

Our Building

We are located at 1 Willow Avenue, Singapore 347508.

Spanning a wide and thoughtfully designed space, our building is equipped with facilities that enable us to carry out a comprehensive range of tailored services and programmes for our elderly Residents.

Currently, we are licensed to accommodate up to 144 Residents.

Transitioning to a Nursing Home

In order to meet the growing needs of our Residents and Singapore's rapidly ageing population, we are planning to transition from a Sheltered to Nursing Home by September 2026.

This will enable us to cater to elderly with limited mobility and higher care needs. To support this, we plan to expand our team and capacity to accommodate more Residents.

Modern and Comfortable Facilities

Here at St. John's Home, residents enjoy the benefits of modern, comfortable, and well-built facilities.

4 Residents in a 47sqm Room

Each resident lives in a 47sqm apartment featuring a pantry, cosy lounge with TV, and an attached toilet and bathroom for convenience. Every resident has their own private corner of 4.5 sqm, thoughtfully furnished with a comfortable Libra bed, closet, writing table, and curtains for privacy.

High Technology for Optimum Health Care

The Home is equipped with highly sophisticated technology that monitors the residents’ movements and activities. Our advanced communication systems enable us to administer timely care and prevent falls.

Additionally, this technology helps us to ensure the health of all residents by tracking their meals and dietary intake.

Physiotherapy Facilities and Hydrotherapy Pool

Our Home contains a dedicated physiotherapy area where residents participate in daily exercise programmes under the guidance of a professional therapist and multiple nursing aides.

For residents who are less able, our hydrotherapy pool serves as a safe alternative for them to carry out gentle exercises while offering great therapeutic benefits.

FEES

Our Home is run based on Christian values and principles. We offer shelter to any elderly person regardless of race or religion. Whatever your needs are, please feel free to call us for a discussion.

As part of the overall improvements, the current fee for new admissions to the Home is at SGD 2,190 per month plus GST.

St. John's Home Financial Aid Fund

St. John's Home for Elderly Persons will continue to be a Home for elderly in need of shelter so none of our residents will be denied accommodation for financial reasons. We have therefore established a Financial Aid Fund sustained by generous donations, which will subsidise the fees for residents who are unable to afford them.

If you require financial assistance, you are invited to apply for a subsidy. You may download the Financial Aid Application Form here.

Please contact us at 6285 4446 if you have any questions.
