Our Services

Our Welfare Homes

The Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) has appointed Sathya Sai Social Service as the Managing Agent of four Welfare Homes – Acacia Home, Bukit Batok Home for the Aged, Tembusu Home at Pelangi Village and Thuja Home at Pelangi Village.

The four Welfare Homes cater for destitute persons who do not have family support, financial means and/or place of abode. Some residents have family members or relatives but they may be estranged for many years or who are unable to support and accommodate them owing to various reasons.

What We Hope to Achieve

Our Goals

To provide a supportive environment for the maintenance and promotion of the physical and psychosocial well-being of the residents

To assist residents to achieve self-reliance for community reintegration through effective casework and intervention

Our Philosophy of Care

Providing a supportive, safe, secure and clean environment, with opportunities to maximise one’s potential physical, mental, emotional and social capacities is critical in maintaining and/or improving the well-being of the residents and to assist them to achieve self-reliance.

The Homes adopt a four-pronged approach in the provision of care and services, while at the same time embracing 4S’ values of compassion, commitment, integrity and professionalism.

Adopting the resident-centred model in service delivery so that services are delivered in a thoughtful and compassionate manner thereby upholding the dignity, privacy and comfort of the residents

Emphasising holistic care to meet the physical, mental, emotional and social needs of the residents through multi-disciplinary team effort

Fostering synergistic partnership with the community in programmes and activities to connect residents with the community

Benchmarking best practices for programmes and services for continuous improvement

How It Works

Our Care Management

Residents of the Homes come from different backgrounds with varied life experiences, expectations and needs.

An initial assessment is conducted within the resident’s first month of admission by a doctor, physiotherapist, occupational therapist and social worker, in consultation with the resident. The assessment focuses on identifying the resident’s needs, strengths, limitations and activity interest. Information obtained from the various assessments are used as a baseline to develop an Individualised Care Plan (ICP) outlining the treatment goal(s) and intervention strategies, which is mutually agreed between the Home and resident.

Upon admission, each resident is assigned:

1 Social Worker

A Social Worker/Caseworker as the Case Manager to assist the resident in adjusting to living in the Home environment and working out an individualised care plan to facilitate appropriate care tailored to the resident’s needs, abilities and interest
