DEFINITION

Noun

A place where the elderly can enjoy leisure and entertainment activities. Also known in Mandarin as “乐龄中心”. 

由来
  • 1970年代，新加坡第一家为年长人士设立的活动中心在惹兰勿刹（Jalan Besar）的茂德路（Maude Road）成立，据说这是“乐龄中心” 这个名称首次在新加坡出现。
  • 乐龄活动中心或乐龄中心是由公民咨询委员会（Citizens ' Con-sultative Committees）、联络所或居民委员会（Residents ' Com-mittees）设立并管理。早在1996年，新加坡就已有31个乐龄中心。到了2020年，乐龄中心增至130家。
  • 乐龄活动中心主要举办一些社交、教育及康乐类的活动，鼓励乐龄人士通过社会交流增进友情，也给他们提供锻炼身体的机会，增添他们的生活情趣。
  • 2017年十二月，新加坡保健服务集团（SingHealth）在淡滨尼长青坊（Evergreen Circle）乐龄中心，设立了首个社区护理站（Community Nurse Post），供患有慢性疾病的乐龄人士求诊。半年内，已有超过260位乐龄人士受惠，他们的年龄一般都超过60岁。
  • 目前在本地有八个社区护理站，每站安排两名社区护士提供护理服务，包括给乐龄人士进行健康检查、提供慢性疾病的预防与控制指导、进行家访等。
ETYMOLOGY
  • Singapore’s first activity centre for the elderly was established in the 1970s at Maude Road. This is likely when the term “乐龄中心” was coined.
  • Senior Activity Centres are set up and managed by Citizens’ Consultative Committees (CCCs), Community Centres/Clubs or Residents’ Committees (RCs). By 1996, Singapore had 31 Senior Activity Centres, which increased to 130 by 2020.
  • Senior Activity Centres organise social, educational and recreational activities to encourage senior citizens to interact with one another. These activities provide them with a chance to exercise and add some variety to their lives.
  • In December 2017, SingHealth established the first Community Nurse Post at the Evergreen Circle Senior Activity Centre in Tampines, to provide medical consultation services for seniors with chronic diseases. Within six months, more than 260 senior citizens aged 60 years old and above benefited from the consultation service.
  • There are currently eight Community Nurse Posts in Singapore. Each post is assigned two community nurses to provide nursing services, which includes health check-ups for the elderly, guidance on the prevention and control of chronic diseases, and home visits.
