SINGAPORE - A show-flat for Singapore s first assisted-living public housing is now open at HDB Hub, a week ahead of schedule.
Located in Bukit Batok West Avenue 9, the Community Care Apartments are targeted at those aged 65 and above who wish to live on their own and yet enjoy some care, support and communal activities.
On Tuesday (Dec 29), seniors who visited the show-flat told The Straits Times that they were attracted to the new concept, which allows them to forge close relationships with other people in their age group.
Part-time waiter Tan Soon Huat, 67, who made a trip specifically to visit the show-flat, said the 32 sq m unit is the perfect size for him and his wife.
