On 27 March 2010, Singapore’s only residential home for the severely disabled moved to larger premises at Family Link @ Lengkok Bahru, to cater to increasing demand. The move affirmed the Singapore Red Cross’ commitment to serve the most vulnerable in the community.

The new 5,500 square-metre purpose-built facility with open wards and isolation rooms increases the Home’s overall capacity by more than 50 per cent to 100 adults and 30 children, from its residency of 76 adults and 8 children at Elizabeth Drive.

The Home occupies the fourth to eighth floors at Family Link @ Lengkok Bahru, and will open a daycare centre for 50 clients in the first quarter of 2011.

Since 1989, the Home has provided quality long-term residential care and short-term respite services to individuals with severe and multiple disabilities, such as neuro-muscular disabilities and mental disabilities.
