Commercialization of healthcare is a GRAVE SIN.

For those who cannot afford anything with the phrase "private assisted living facility", it's truly a blessing in disguise. Plan your end-of-Life without too much financial burden to yourself or your family members.

[SB-dkfy]

Advance country should make medical available for all Citizens(those who cant afford high medical expenses). It just cannot be selective.

[vincecarlo]

NOT Affordable but VERY EXPENSIVE Elder *care

[vincecarlo]

Is this EVEN A WISE Use of Land in Land Scarce Country ?
To Cater ONLY For the RICH ?

[roystenestrop]

We should not fault those fortunate to be in good financial standing, and have the choice to live with pride and dignity in their last years. Not being a burden to their children.
Having said that, there is a need to establish more affordable projects of this nature for average Singaporeans.

I like this elite way of life. Rich gets richer faster is undebunkable. Braised on Jaundice and Equanimity

[shanjinchoy]

This concept has been in China for a while now, like a country club concept tweaked for senior care. A good introduction into SG.

[wangjim]

Targeted at high income earners! So it's nothing about welfare but all about making money, good money from the affluent oldies!

[audreychoong]

These private assisted living facilities are for those with money. These are obviously targeted at those seniors who has good savings and have wealth. I wonder for those who are of average or mid income families, if they can afford such facilities.

What next ? 豪华冷气骨灰庵。
Literal translation - Luxurious air-con ash storage facility.

Finally - thanks. But what's the monthly like?

[alertscpi]

There should be afforded assisted living facilities, instead of just high-end ones for the wealthy groups.

[cholesterol]

Its a great concept putting the elderly in one place not bothering their childrens family how to run theirs. Most of them are probably narcissist and they cannot justify they are right because of their age if they are talking to the same narc people.

[bobafett]

*Will there be any government subsidies for middle and lower income earners to be admitted to this facility ?*

[richardtan]

trouble with these old men and old aunties, they have no passion/hobbies. must booze, KTV sing, shake, twist, cha cha to the music like in Japan..Die happy, happy..

How about adults with learning disabilities cant you integrate them into the assited living home

I want a unit there for my retirement, so i can rent out all my property.
