Residential Care
As a Christian nursing home for Senior Citizens of Singapore, it
is our commitment to meet the need of the community by providing
the ability to cater for multiple medical, nursing, social and spiritual
needs of the elderly sick.
As a key institution in the community,
we offer holistic care for a maximum capacity of 350 elderly who
are in need of a home to take care of them. Ling Kwang Home is a
sanctuary of peace and tranquillity of high quality professional,
medical and nursing care for the benefit and well-being of our residents.
At Ling Kwang Home, both our long

medical officer and several volunteer medical professionals and
specialists in geriatric psycho-geriatric, orthopaedic and cardiology

As holistic care is not only about

needs of our residents, our team tries to make the residents feel
at home as best as they can.
