Elderly - Day Care Centres for Seniors

Day Care Centres for Seniors (DCCs) provide care for frail seniors who need supervision when their family members are at work.

They provide a supportive environment for frail seniors to spend the day while their family members are at work, enable them to remain in the community and delay institutionalisation through adequate care and maintenance (maintenance rehabilitation), and provide opportunities for them to socialise and engage in social-recreational activities.

General operating hours of DCCs
Weekdays: 7.30am to 6.30pm
Saturdays: 7.30am to 1.30pm

Eligibility
• Seniors aged 55 and above
• Singapore Citizen or Singapore Permanent Resident
• Physically frail and in need of supervision
• Fit for communal activities

Referral process
Potential clients need to be referred by social (e.g. VWOs, FSCs, CDCs) or medical touchpoints (e.g. hospitals, polyclinics, GPs) to the Centre for Enabled Living.
