General

For 12 years St Hilda’s Community Services Centre has been embraced by the people of Tanjong Rhu as it reached out to know every resident and to meet the needs of residents where it matters most.

Our vision is to be recognised as a leader of best practice in the delivery of community and elderly services that are changing the face of aged care, focusing on wellness and capabilities.

Today as the Tanjong Rhu community grows older than when we first knew her in the year 2000, we are poised to offer a suite of services, aimed at enabling each senior to age in place.

We know that care – needs of the elderly will change and we are committed to enable the individual to continue his days with the family, the neighbourhood and the community he calls home.

About Friends Special

Disabilities need not disable.

The team at Friends Special works as … a team! While each health professional contributes individually to a person’s rehabilitation through the application of special knowledge and skills, the focus is on the person and the goal is to enable the individual to live as full and independent a lifestyle as possible within his home and community.

Centre Based Rehab Services.

We provide comprehensive rehabilitative care for patients who are experiencing a wide range of disabilities including those brought on by a stroke, an accident, joint replacement, lower limb amputation or fractures, or simply by the process of ageing.

Home Care and Caregiver support.

Visits by medical professionals to those who have chronic illnesses and who require home nursing as well as caregiver support, training services and advice on related services (such as fitting out the home suitably for those with fallrisks) will be provided under Friends Special. Help for the Senior to remain in his own home is the objective.
