Montfort Care

Our seniors from Goodlife Studio (Bukit Purmei) recently made headlines in The Straits Times, 8world, and CAPITAL 958 with their incredible community project! They crocheted 188 Singapore flags, earning an entry in the Singapore Book of Records for the “Largest Display of Crocheted National Flags.” The heartwarming “SG59” project was a collaborative effort involving seniors from our carpentry workshop, crochet classes, and youth volunteers from the community. The event was graced by Member of Parliament for Radin Mas, Mr. Melvin Yong, and our Founder | CEO Mr. Samuel Ng, BBM, who both placed the final two flags on the display during the award ceremony. Our seniors were thrilled to see their creativity and hard work celebrated. We continue to support them in staying active and engaged throughout their golden years. Wishing everyone a very happy National Day! Read more about the project in 8world here: https://lnkd.in/g4yK3gXh #ActiveAgeing #GoodlifebyMontfortCare

The Singapore Airlines team recently joined us at Goodlife Makan community kitchen to film a feature video of Christine. Christine is an SIA cabin crew member who also regularly volunteers with us at Goodlife Makan! Through Christine, the SIA team discovered the fulfilling volunteering and CSR opportunities at Goodlife Makan. They spent a wonderful day with our seniors, playing Rummy-O and learning Uncle Kia Meng’s secret butter cake recipe. The volunteers also pitched in with our home personal care services, helping with housekeeping for our beneficiaries, as well as gardening. A heartfelt thank you to the SIA team for making a positive impact in our community! We look forward to welcoming the team back soon! Stay tuned to their socials and silverkris.com to catch Christine and our seniors in action. We love collaborating with corporate organisations for meaningful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives!

We recently collaborated with our partners at Radin Mas Constituency to unveil a neighbourhood reading corner, to bring the joy of learning to more members in the community, in support of the National Library Board's National Reading Movement. The bookshelves were handcrafted by our seniors at Goodlife Studio (Bukit Purmei), an Active Ageing centre by Montfort Care that features a signature carpentry studio for our seniors to create useful pieces for the community. "When we provide the right space and avenue, our seniors become active contributors to the community. We'd like to thank Member of Parliament for Radin Mas SMC, Mr Melvin Yong, for this wonderful collaboration opportunity. You have brought the joy of reading to the community and allowed our Kayu Artisans to be proud of their work," shared Chief Operating Officer, Montfort Care, Paul Chew. Check out the highlights from the event in the link below!

Good nutrition remains integral in ensuring the health and well-being of our seniors. The Healthy, Empowered and Active Living (HEAL) Fund, made possible by the Low Tuck Kwong Foundation, has allowed our healthcare partners at SingHealth to roll out innovative and sustainable care models. Leveraging the fund, dietitians from Singapore General Hospital have conducted in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with seniors at Goodlife Makan in Marine Terrace and Goodlife Studio (Bukit Purmei) to develop tailored nutrition awareness programmes. Seniors will learn about nutrition through interactive hands-on sessions and easy to understand nutrition snippets placed around their dining area at both Centres, to empower them to manage their health and medical conditions through making the right food choices. Find out more in the full segment below from 11:00 onwards! We look forward to continuing to work with our partners to strengthen integrated care programmes for our seniors and enable them to age-in-place within their communities. #GoodlifebyMontfortCare  #ActiveAgeing

Cheers to our friends at DP Architects on your win, for your work on our Goodlife Studio Carpentry Studio. Located at Bukit Purmei, this studio has been intentionally conceptualised and built to offer a "light-hearted environment where free expression is encouraged, normalising mistakes and imperfections" as DP Architects aptly describe. It continues to be an open, community-centric space for many seniors. Its stunning main highlight? Our signature carpentry area 🔨 🔧 🛠 reserved especially for male seniors to build and craft projects ranging from small wooden collectibles to bookshelves and fall-prevention stools for the community. It is always our goal to empower seniors to be active contributors to the community, and with this space, they can. #partnership #collaborationwins #montfortcaregoals #goodlifebymontfortcare

This beautiful, open space designed as a community kitchen continues to allow for us at Montfort Care to invite stayalone seniors in the community to come together to socialise, cook, serve, and dine with the many new friends they make at Goodlike Makan. For those curious about this cheerfully designed space, we are open every Monday to Friday, with a Flea Market held every last Saturday of the month (pets 🐶 🐈 🕊 are welcome at the Flea Market too!)
