Tri-Generational HomeCare @ North West comprises of students from Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Social Work and Occupational Therapy who are passionate about serving the elderly and nurturing the next generation. Our partners are Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH) – Aging-in-Place (AIP) Program and North West Community Development Council (NWCDC). We aim to provide long-term holistic care to elderly in terms of medical and psychosocial support. We hope to engage secondary school students in this endeavour where they can learn valuable skills by serving the elderly. Teams comprising of university and secondary school students will care for 1 to 2 elderly via fortnightly home visits over 6 months. To ensure a high standard of care for the patients, the teams will present their assessment and management plans to healthcare professionals from KTPH at the middle and end of each cycle. Adequate training will be provided for volunteers to equip them with knowledge and skills required.
