THK Nursing Home @ Hougang

Q. How do we admit our loved ones into a nursing home?

Referrals are initiated by the multidisciplinary team (comprises of doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and social workers) from the hospitals, polyclinics or other institutions through the Integrated Referral Management System (IRMS).

If patient is currently hospitalized, family members can approach a Medical social worker from the Hospital to assist with the referral.

In the event if patient is at home or in another private nursing home, and if he/she has an outpatient appointment with a specialist in a hospital / polyclinic, family members can also approach the respective sources for assistance.

Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) will assign the bed to the patient, in accordance to the nursing home beds availability.

Q. What is the criteria to qualify for a nursing home placement?

  • Person has physical disabilities as a result of medical conditions e.g. dementia and other chronic illnesses.
  • Person who falls under the following Categories (Assessed by healthcare professionals using the Resident Assessment Form (RAF))
  • Person has exhausted all other possible care arrangements and is not able to be cared at home by community providers.
  • The individual must pass the means test for healthcare subsidies conducted by Ministry of Health.

Private Residents
  1. Private applicants do not need to go through Agency for Integrated Care. We accept applicants through walk-in.
  2. Applicants will be assessed by a Registered Nurse and MSW. Acceptance of case is subject to Head of Nursing / CEO’s approval.

THK Senior Care Centre @ Kaki Bukit

All admission for our SCC will have to go through AIC’s referral process.

For any walk-ins, we will refer them to AIC for follow up. Once the centre receives the referrals from AIC, the Nursing team will go through assessment to look into medical condition, mental health, history of violence and RAF. Complicated cases will be presented in a weekly Patient-centred Care Conference where consultation is gathered from Nursing, Medical Social Worker, Therapists and the Centre Manager.

Once the decision to admit has been achieved, the MSW will arrange for a financial counselling and signing of the service agreement. The client will then be scheduled for start of programme.

THKNH Home Care Services

All referrals for our Homecare programs will have to come through AIC’s referral process. For any direct referral, we will refer them to AIC for follow up.

Once the organization receives the referral from AIC, the Nursing team will do a pre-admission assessment to look into medical condition, mental health, history of inappropriate behaviours and functioning status.

Cases with complex needs would be presented in a weekly multi-disciplinary Patient-centred Care Case Conference for deliberation.

Once the case is approved for admission, a staff nurse and a social worker will conduct a joint home visit to do the admission assessment, financial counselling and signing of the service agreement. The client will then be scheduled for program commencement.
