As Singapore ageing society increases, the dire need to deliver quality eldercare services has been a key focus among many VWOs (Voluntary Welfare Organisations).

Care Corner has been a forerunner in providing comprehensive eldercare services to the public since the early 90s. In 1992, Care Corner introduced its first elderly daycare centre (now known as ‘Social Day Care for the Elderly’) to support the needs of busy families who are unable to care for their elderly family members while they are at work.

In 1999, Care Corner successfully launched a second eldercare programme (Seniors Activity Centre) in Toa Payoh estate. However, the focus of the new programme was slightly different as it was more inclined towards the needs of the low-income elderly living in the area. Built as a community-based drop-in centre, it offers a series of holistic eldercare programmes that are designed to keep the elderly mentally and socially engaged.

In view of the large elderly population in Toa Payoh, Care Corner subsequently set up a second Seniors Activity Centre (‘SACTP170’) in 2010.  

Care Link, a neighbourhood link centre set up in 2002 was converted into Care Corner’s third SAC (‘SACTP62B) in October 2011. It reaches out and supports frail and needy elderly living in 2-room rental blocks 63, 64, and 68 in the vicinity of Toa Payoh Lorong 4.
