Sharing Our Vision
The
Home provides for the physical, spiritual, emotional and
well-being of the residents. Attention is paid to the
physical environment and care the residents receive; the
range of activities they can participate in; the
interaction they continue to have with the larger
community - friends and relatives, church, neighbourhood
and the experience of God's love and provision. It is a
home where the residents can call their own.
Our Legacy
St Andrew's Cathedral helps individuals with
financial difficulties through its welfare committee. In
the late seventies, this committee recognized the needs
of Singapore's greying population and the need for the
Cathedral to make provisions for elderly members who have
no family to care and support them. The lesson in the
Gospel made it compelling for such a response. In the
parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus painted a vivid
scene of a loving and caring individual going to the
rescue of a needy stranger, ministering to him and
arranging for his accommodation and care. Jesus added to
his story the command to "Go and do likewise." Thus, the Home opened its doors on
11 Oct 1980.
Our Facilities
The Home
consists of three dormitories, a sitting cum dining room, and
recreational hall. It is able to accommodate 25 female residents.
Throughout the year, individual members of St Andrew's Cathedral,
schools, other churches, and organizations visit the residents.
These volunteers also organize activities and outings for the
residents.
The staff consists of a full-time supervisor, nursing aides, a
cook and a part-time driver.
