       Tembusu Seniors Activity Centre

In 2009, the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) conducted a service review on the functions of the Neighbourhood Link programme. One of the outcomes of the service review was to reposition the Neighbourhood Link programme to give focus to elderly persons living in HDB rental blocks. Consequently, Tembusu Neighbourhood Link was renamed Tembusu Seniors Activity Centre in March 2010. The primary purpose of TSAC is to serve elderly residents living in Blocks 1, 2 and 12 Eunos Crescent.

 

Managed by 4S since June 2006, TSAC aims to be a neighbourhood focal point in the Eunos community. It works closely with the Grassroots Organisations, schools, community agencies and Voluntary Welfare Organisations to organise activities for the residents, in particular the elderly. TSAC's programmes and services are designed to achieve the objectives of establishing a local support network, promoting an active volunteer movement, fostering inter-generational bonding and managing the Alert Alarm System installed in the 107 units of Studio Apartments for the elderly in Eunos Crescent.

 

Aside from organising activities, TSAC also conducts outreach exercises to residents in the Eunos area. The centre also assists residents in gaining information and access to social services. In addition, TSAC facilitates the formation of mutual help groups and enhances the life satisfaction of the elderly by involving them in programmes and activities. Through an active volunteer movement, TSAC also ensures the integration of seniors into the community and gives them a role in local affairs.

 

 

       Tembusu Home Help Service

 

4S was appointed by MCYS and NCSS to be the service provider of Home Help Service (HHS) in the West region with effect from 1 Apr 08. The service boundary includes Choa Chu Kang, Bukit Panjang, Bukit Batok, Jurong West, Jurong East and Boon Lay.

 

The purpose of HHS is to provide support to the frail elderly so that they could be assisted to remain in the community for as long as possible. The five service types of Tembusu Home Help Service are meals delivery, escort service for medical appointment, personal care hygiene, laundry and housekeeping.

 

 

       Tembusu Food Aid Programme

 

Tembusu Food Aid Programme (TFAP) provides monthly food aid in the form of food parcels containing rice, sugar, oil and condensed milk to needy families in Singapore. The programme is managed by volunteers who spend one weekend a month to pack and deliver the food items to families living in different districts.

 

Originally operated from the Sathya Sai Baba Centre, TFAP shifted its food storing and food packing operations to THC in January 2010. In addition to packing and delivering food parcels, the volunteers identify individual who require psychosocial support and render assistance in housekeeping activities to frail elderly persons who have difficulties performing household chores. Currently there are about 290 families on the programme.
