Making tomorrow fulfilling

We care for individuals whose stories inspire us. Our individualised care plans are designed to inspire independence, hope and fulfilment in the lives of the elderly we care for.

Built to celebrate life

The experience of staying at Allium Care Suites is one of absolute discernment and discreet luxury. Enjoy an elegant and convenient lifestyle next to Windsor Nature Park surrounded by nature, tranquility and complete privacy.

Allium Care Suites is all about defying perceptions of how older adults live, or choose to live their lives. We have created a consummate hospitality experience for you to make the most of your life.

Our vision for Allium Care Suites was to combine the very finest of hospitality and healthcare within a bespoke sanctuary for wellness.

Welcome to Allium Care Suites.

Every detail considered

Inspired by Singapore’s prestige as a biophilic City in a Garden, Metaphor Design + Architecture Pte. Ltd. designed Allium Care Suites as “suites within a garden”.

More ‘household’ than ‘nursing home’, our living spaces are the first of its kind in Singapore, purpose-built to cater to the different needs of older adults and their families.

Comprising exclusively single and double suites, our residency options provide respite and long-term care. Each suite is specially designed to give you a private space of calm and comfort with a view to harmonious surroundings.

Everywhere you look, the highest standards of eldercare ergonomic design support easy living and comfort. This includes wardrobe fixtures and sanitary wares that encourage you to be as freely independent as possible.

Built with climate responsive design in mind, Allium Care Suites was awarded the Green Mark Platinum by the Building & Construction Authority (BCA) for delivering an ecologically responsible and friendly development.

Perfectly located next to the vast greenery of Windsor Nature Park, Allium Care Suites presents an oasis surrounded by lush landscapes.

CREATIVE THERAPY

The art of dementia

Roadblocks to verbal communication laid by dementia are bypassed through the artistic process, and individuals can express themselves through the art. Concentration and attention improves, and patients are often easier to care for even when the therapy is over.

Our work has one focus; to empower you to help yourself and your loved ones receive the best possible care.

If you care for someone, we care for you with comfort and guidance.

Our training programs support you with clarity, solutions and awareness. With our guidance, you can make fast progress as the focus is on you.

CASEWORK AND COUNSELLING

Strengthening relationships

Our medical social worker is a care professional who helps you and your family cope with the emotional and social responses to illness and treatment.

The core of our care plan is to effectively meet the needs of individuals and their families by connecting needs with resources.

At Allium Healthcare, our medical social worker has journeyed with many families through challenging situations. She provides invaluable support, advice and practical information on government schemes and assists with referrals to community agencies and resources.

CARE ASSESSMENT

The care journey begins with an assessment to understand the personal contexts of your loved ones’ situation and your family, social, cultural, and psychological systems and spiritual dimension.

INTERVENTION PLAN

Together, we discuss care goals and expectations, to deliver a best fit, comprehensive intervention plan based on specific concerns, preferences and unique social situations.

REVIEW

Evaluation of the intervention plan will be conducted with the involvement of your loved ones and family members to assess care support outcomes.

Refinement and adjustment are important and valuable parts of our casework process. The collaborative discussion of potential changes in a case plan not only strengthens the caregiver’s sense of accountability but also serves to empower and enable.

Our medical social worker will monitor, evaluate and review the care plan over the full course of intervention. The intervention process is complete when your loved ones and family members achieve a level of desired independence.

ADVANCE CARE PLANNING

Continuous compassion

Advance care planning begins with a discussion to note personal preferences towards receiving medical care to meet long-term needs. It serves as a guide to healthcare providers to help with treatment decisions according to your loved ones’ wishes.

The process involves an advance care planning facilitator and your loved ones to explore, discuss and share personal values and beliefs, and to anticipate healthcare preferences and potential medical conditions and situations.

Different types of advance care planning will cater to the different needs and stages of life. At Allium Healthcare, we embrace client-centred care, incorporating evidence-based practice to deliver a holistic approach.

Your loved ones’ wishes and preferred plan of care will be documented. The advance care planning process also involves the appointment of a Nominated Healthcare Spokesperson (NHS) to advocate on behalf of your loved ones. This allows for your loved ones’ autonomy to be respected and reduces potential conflict and uncertainty amongst family members.

RESPITE CARE

Continuity of care

Respite care provides temporary relief for caregivers to take a break from routine caregiving tasks. It is a rewarding experience for the elderly too, providing them with opportunities to engage in various activities with other elders under the guidance of our healthcare professionals.

Respite care allows family members to work during the day, take a break from routine caregiving, and is an option of consideration for families with caregivers planning their home leave. We deliver peace of mind in care transition to ensure the continuity of care for an elder requiring assistance and supervision in activities of daily living or consistent nursing care.

At Allium Healthcare, we provide respite care for a few hours, a full day, several days or weeks depending on individual needs and interests. Our focus is on improving the quality of life for elders and caregivers.
