It is our commitment as a nursing home to serve the community by taking care of the elderly who are not being able to be cared for by their loved ones at home for various reasons. Our multidisciplinary team includes nurses, medical doctors, allied healthcare professionals and ancillary staff.
The Integrated Home and Day Care (IHDC) centre at our Home provides support services to Seniors who wish to remain living in the community, in the comforts of their homes with their loved ones. Generally, IHDC clients attend the centre on weekdays where they receive personal care, medical, nursing and rehabilitation support by our multi-disciplinary team and are also able to partake in outings and gatherings.
Q1. What is the process for admission to a nursing home?
Ans: We serve clients/residents who are mostly referred by the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC). AIC and the Medical Social Worker (MSW) of the restructured hospital/polyclinic where the elderly is receiving treatment will jointly assess the elderly for admission to a nursing home. The referral process is completed only when the elderly is accepted for admission to a nursing home.
Q2. Where can I find out more information about admission to a nursing home?
Ans: For more information on the AIC referral process or the status of your referral application, kindly refer to the MSW at the hospital/polyclinic where your elderly is receiving treatment for better assistance. Please click on the links below for general info on the following topics:
Q3. Does LKH admit any residents who are not referred by AIC?
Ans: LKH has a limited number of non-subsidised beds for those who are not referred by AIC. Private residents are accepted strictly on a case-by-case basis.
We encourage family members to engage with us and welcome feedback for continuous improvement.
