“My grandsons are very surprised, but also proud that (their) grandma can still do this,” shared Mdm Hedy Lim, 72, a regular floor curling participant at SLEC Active Ageing Centre (Care) @ Golden Years.

Initially drawn to floor curling because it was low-impact and played indoors, Mdm Lim quickly fell in love with both the game and the friendships that came with it. Since picking up the sport a year ago, it has given her a renewed sense of purpose and achievement, and she now proudly shares her progress with her grandchildren.

With the support of Singapore Floor Curling, floor curling was introduced across our Active Ageing Centres and has since become one of the activities our active agers look forward to the most.

An adaptation of curling, the sport combines strategy, teamwork and movement, making it fun, accessible and easy for everyone to enjoy.

But for many players, it is as much about camaraderie and inclusion as it is about competition. Every session is an opportunity to laugh, connect and create meaningful friendships.

Click to see how floor curling is played at one of our Active Ageing Centres and how the sport is bringing together different generations and communities across Singapore.

It is a sport that is easy to play for the young, old and those with special needs. And it can be played in almost any indoor space with minimal equipment. No wonder floor curling has been g*ining popularity at active ageing centres and community clubs, among other places, in Singapore. Read more at...

What do laundry and bowling have in common? 🎳

For Mdm Lilian Chong, the years she spent washing clothes professionally have given her a strong grip and steady hands that are perfect for hitting a strike on the bowling lane!

An active ager at SLEC Active Ageing Centre (Care) @ Nee Soon Central, Mdm Chong is just one of the active agers who have been introduced to bowling through lessons conducted by volunteers from the The Rotary Club of Singapore. In the past, she often watched others bowl from afar, never imagining she would one day be able to try it herself.

We are grateful for the volunteers from the club, whose encouragement and companionship have given our active agers the confidence to discover new adventures and ignite new passions.

When Winston noticed that an elder had broken her glasses after falling asleep while reading, he went out and bought her a new pair.

He didn’t see this as a grand gesture, or even going above and beyond at work. It was simply one of the many ways that he could care for elders as a nurse.

It’s a profession Winston never expected to be in. In fact, he explored several other career paths. But after a leap of faith, he embarked on a new career path, and discovered what has now become his calling.

Today, he serves as a Nurse Clinician (Infection Control) at SLEC, safeguarding the wellbeing of elders and our SLEC team. For Winston, nursing has never been just a career, but an opportunity to walk alongside others at every stage of their lives.

Stay tuned for more stories from the nurses of SLEC! 💚

The flowers were stunning. But the timeless beauty of our elders stole the show!

Recently, we went to g*i g*i with elders from SLEC Senior Care Centre @ Sumang. Dressed to the nines in vibrant floral outfits, matching manicures and flowers tucked in their hair, they spent the day exploring the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay.

Volunteers from Evangel Baptist Church - Singapore guided them through the gardens and snapped photos of our elders posing amidst the flowers to commemorate their special day out.

For many of them, this was an opportunity to embrace the simple joys of dressing up and exploring somewhere new with friends.

At SLEC, ageing gracefully goes beyond adding years to life. We’re adding life to years, too! Stay tuned for the next episode of Let’s Go G*i G*i to see where our adventures take us.

Your next handbag could be made from plastic coffee sachets! 😱

Meet Rosalind and Patricia, the artists behind dozens of colourful, one-of-a-kind hand-woven crafts. As members of the Plastic Weaving Club, these active agers transform used plastic into bags, tissue box covers and other practical creations.

Every Tuesday, members of the club from SLEC Active Ageing Centre (Care) @ Ayer Rajah meet excitedly to show off their newest creations and exchange tips. Together, they’ve not only given discarded materials a second life, but have also formed a tight-knit community that supports one another in their creative journeys!

This World Environment Day, we celebrate the spirit of sustainability and creativity. 💚

After more than 50 years around the pool table, this coach is still teaching others new tricks. 🎱

At SLEC Active Ageing Centre (Care) @ Bishan, Peter Chia shows up every week at the pool club to share his knowledge of the game with his fellow club members. Started in 2024, the SLEC team first brought together four active agers for some brotherly bonding over the pool table.

Before that, some of the members had never even picked up a cue. Yet they stepped forward to give it a try. As more members joined, they also began encouraging and coaching one another. Inspired by their fiery passion, the ladies at the centre even came together to form their very own pool club!

Today, they play with confidence, taking part in friendly competitions and even bringing home trophies!

At SLEC, it’s never too late to discover new adventures and ignite new passions! Find out more here: https://www.slec.org.sg/our-services/community-based-services/active-ageing/

Hand hygiene is not just the responsibility of healthcare professionals. Keeping our loved ones safe starts with everyday actions from all of us. 🫧

In conjunction with World Hand Hygiene Day earlier this month, Winston Tan, our Nurse Clinician (Infection Control), shares how effective handwashing helps keep us safe from invisible pathogens.

Together, let’s continue building safer and healthier communities for everyone.

Here’s a glimpse of what you can look forward to in the months ahead.

From new openings to sector conferences returning stronger than ever, the second half of the year marks another meaningful chapter of growth for SLEC.

Behind every milestone is a collective effort from our staff, volunteers, caregivers, partners and supporters who journey alongside us each day. Thank you for continuing to make a difference in the lives of our elders.
