Kreta Ayer Seniors Activity Centre

Welcome message by Dr Lily Neo (MP for Jalan Besar GRC), our Advisor

It gives me great pleasure in launching this KASAC website. This website gives illustrations on care programs for our senior citizens at Kreta Ayer–Kim Seng Constituency. I believe that the best way to take care of our elderly folk is to keep them happy and healthy. There are five such Care Centers in our ward to achieve this.

Our goal is to address the physical, mental and social needs of our participants. Physical activity can prevent and reduce many problems associated with old age. Engaging in healthy recreational and social activities, interaction and bonding are encouraged to maintain social and mental well-being at our centres.

There are staff to supervise our centres’ activities. The senior citizens will be cared for especially if they live alone or if their families are unable to provide the care required.

Some of the scheduled activities include daily morning exercises, nutritional lunch and tea, karaoke, handicrafts, health talks, dancing, movies and outings.

I would like to end my message by saying that youth and age are not dates in time, but states of mind. Our duty is not to add years to our lives, but to add life to our years.
