St. John's Home For Elderly Persons

Established in December 1958, St. John's Home for Elderly Persons is a Sheltered Home for elderly persons who are ambulant and aged above 60.

Our Mission is to provide shelter and care to meet the physical and spiritual needs of elderly persons who have no home and no children or close relatives with adequate resources to care for them.  The Home is open to all regardless of race or creed.

Since the Home started operations in December 1958, we have been located at our present site at 69 Wan Tho Avenue. In 2015, the Government granted us a fresh 30-year lease which will expire in December 2045, on a reduced land area of 3,300sqm. Concurrently, we also entered into a three-plus-three year tenancy agreement on the remaining 8,924sqm land area that we are currently occupying.

We are presently building a new five-storey building on the 30-year lease land, to maximise on the plot ratio of 1.4 prescribed for the land. We began construction in November 2018 and when we move into the new building, we shall increase our licensed capacity to 150 elderly persons.  We look forward to moving in by June 2021.  Our new address would be 1 Willow Avenue, Singapore 347508.

Our Home is a recipient of the Charity Transparency Awards 2019 and 2018, the President's Award for Philanthropy (Non-Profits) 2014 and the Community In Bloom Awards 2014,2016 and 2018.
