SINGAPORE – The network of Active Ageing Centres where seniors can drop in to enjoy a range of activities will be expanded.
Currently, about one in five Singaporeans is a senior, aged 65 and above. By 2030, nearly one in four Singaporeans will be a senior. While the Government plays a big role in providing care, seniors must also do their part to look after themselves, he said. One of the biggest threats to the well-being of seniors is loneliness, as many seniors today are living alone and they risk becoming socially isolated, he pointed out.“It is also important that they keep active and have a social network for mutual support.”
Established by the Agency for Integrated Care , they are drop-in social recreational centres for seniors living nearby, and go-to points for them to build social connections, take part in recreational activities, and contribute to the community. Madam Goh Lee Choo, Madam Karen Wee and Madam Harida Mohamed, for instance, prepare and deliver hot meals to frail seniors living in rental flats every day.Madam Goh, 68, told The Straits Times: “I was volunteering at the AAC when they offered me this microjob. It’s good to have something to do to kill time and do something meaningful after retiring.”
