What you need to know about the new assisted living HDB flats in Queenstown for seniors

SERVICE PACKAGES

Besides senior-friendly fittings, CCA flats are designed for seniors to live independently with some healthcare assistance where needed. 

All residents will subscribe to a Basic Service Package, which includes the help of an onsite community manager.

The manager will help arrange add-on care and support services, assist in simple home fixes, and coordinate activities in communal spaces. 

The package also comes with basic health checks, 24-hour emergency monitoring and response, as well as key card access to individual flats. 

Residents can also enjoy access to care services and wellness and social activities at an Active Ageing Centre (Care) located in the Social and Wellness Hub. The hub is next to the CCA block.

They will also get priority admission to a nearby nursing home on the Alexandra Hospital campus if required.

Seniors who may need help with daily living activities or household services can opt for services at additional costs.

The optional services include a shared caregiving service that provides assistance with daily living activities, such as moving around, washing, dressing, eating and using the toilet.

There is also a housekeeping service and meals can be delivered to the home for an extra charge. Residents can also opt for a laundry service.

Prices for these optional services will be reviewed periodically, said the authorities.
