The AWWA READYCARE Centre provides rehabilitation services to elderly people with physical challenges. The centre also offers day-care services for the elderly. Counselling is available for family members encountering difficulties in coping with caring for their elderly loved ones.

Kheng Chiu Loke Tin Kee Home, the first charitable organisation set up by the pioneers of the Hainanese community, was established in 1902. Originally known as Loke Tin Kee Medical Institution, its mission was to take care of Hainanese immigrants who were aged and sick.
Today, the home is known as Kheng Chiu Happy Lodge, located at No. 70 Tampines Avenue 4, Singapore 529681 with a capacity for 160 aged and aged destitute who are Singapore Citizens or Singapore Permanent Residents regardless of race, language or religion. Its mission was realigned to provide long term independent living, with minimum assistance, for the elderly in the community and to facilitate integration into society.
The programmes of the Home include 1) Resident Involvement Programmes, 2) Community Work Programmes and 3) Social & Recreational Programmes. The home provides the elderly residents with meals, launderette service, medical and dental consultations. In addition, the home organises activities such as physical and mental stimulation exercises and recreational activities on a regular basis.
The proceeds from “Patchwork of Reminiscences” will support the general operations of Kheng Chiu Loke Tin Kee Home.
