The Day Care Centre was established to support visually impaired seniors by helping them stay active both physically and mentally while their caregivers or family members are at work. The Centre introduces seniors to ways of adapting to vision loss and fosters a supportive peer environment that helps reduce isolation and loneliness through shared experiences. Our goal is to empower visually impaired seniors to live independently and function confidently within their homes and community.
Our Objectives
Promote Independence and Personal Responsibility in Managing Self-Care
Promote Mutual Support Amongst Elderly Who Have Lost Their Sight
Leverage on Community Services to Maintain Vision Loss of Elders in the Community
Provide a Platform for Volunteers to Interact with Elderly Clients with Visual Impairment
Things That We Do
The Day Care Centre (DCC) offers a range of recreational activities for clients, supported by dedicated volunteers. These include celebrations such as festive and birthday events, as well as various games — both indoor and outdoor — like conversational games, card games, and puzzles. To promote health and wellness, clients also take part in hand and eye exercises, Zumba Gold (Chair), and nature walks. In addition, skills-based activities such as arts and crafts, singing, and simple cooking or baking sessions are conducted to encourage creativity and engagement. Sharing sessions, including reminiscence activities and updates on government affairs or current news, are also organised to keep clients informed and socially connected.
Opening hours of the Day Care Centre are from Mondays to Fridays from 8:30am to 3pm. For more information, please call the Day Care Team at 62514331 (ext 601) or email us at enquiries@savh.org.sg.
