Singapore faces urgent challenges in expanding senior housing for its rapidly aging population, with one in four citizens projected to be over 65 by 2030. Despite various options, including nursing homes, assisted-living facilities and reserved public housing, demand outpaces supply.
Our CEO, Bernie Poh, joins stakeholders to address the growing need for housing that meets seniors’ needs. Allium Healthcare responds with its purpose-built luxury nursing home, Allium Care Suites, at 71 Venus Drive, Upper Thomson.
While government initiatives aim to increase eldercare capacity and integrate health and social services, high land costs and labour expenses affect affordable development. Public-private partnerships and innovative projects show promise, with more sites anticipated for future assisted living needs.
