We were delighted to welcome the team from Bloomberg for their very first CSR engagement with our clients at New Horizon Centre (Tampines)!

The morning was packed with fun and interactive activities designed to stimulate focus, coordination, and social engagement. Our seniors put their concentration to the test by tossing hoops and aiming ping pong balls into coloured egg cartons, celebrating every successful throw with cheers from the volunteers.

The laughter grew even louder during a lively game of Musical Chairs! As the music stopped, the senior holding the ball teamed up with a Bloomberg volunteer for a spontaneous dance, filling the room with smiles, applause and joyful moments that everyone will remember.

From the very first hello, the volunteers filled the room with warmth and enthusiasm—engaging our seniors with cheerful smiles, heartfelt high-fives and singing together to break the ice.

A heartfelt thank you to Bloomberg for choosing to spend your time with our clients at NHC Tampines. We look forward to creating many more memorable moments together!

As we age, it is not uncommon to become a little more forgetful or to take longer to recall certain things. Knowing the difference between normal ageing and dementia can make a meaningful difference. From occasional forgetfulness to changes that affect everyday life, recognising the signs can help individuals and families seek support.

What does it mean to care for someone at the end of life? Recent conversations on euthanasia have prompted broader reflections on dignity at the end of life.

In a recent forum letter written by our Chairman, Dr Philip Yap, he shared that beyond medicine and treatment, it is often our presence, compassion, and willingness to have difficult conversations that matter most.

While not every form of suffering can be eliminated, it should continue to inspire us to provide better care—through advances in palliative care and a commitment to ensuring that every person receives compassionate, holistic support in their final days.

From idea to impact!

Over the past few months, Magdalena Yong () from UWC South East Asia worked closely with our NHC Jurong Point team as part of her school project. Through interviews, prototype development, staff feedback sessions, and ongoing refinements, she successfully designed and brought an Activity Clock to life for our centre.

The Activity Clock helps guide our clients through the day by providing clear visual cues on the time, day, and scheduled activities, supporting greater confidence and independence in their daily routines.

For persons living with dementia, the Activity Clock can help reduce confusion and anxiety by providing structure, familiarity, and reassurance throughout the day, while encouraging engagement in meaningful activities.

Today, the completed Activity Clock has been officially handed over to the centre and will become part of our daily programmes.

Thank you, Magdalena, for your dedication, creativity, and thoughtful innovation. We are grateful for this meaningful collaboration and the positive impact it will have on our clients' lives.
