REST Carer Center (2021-2023)

    The C & M A Riviera Gardens Elderly Learning Centre was sponsored by the Community Chest to operate REST Carer Centre for 2 years in order to provide a one-stop full-service hub for carers of the elderly. Through carer-focused services, the centre provides assistance to carers who provide care to elderlies requiring different levels of care. Services offered include respite care, helping the elderly to strengthen their own self-healing ability, and helping them to learn how to manage their own health and to practice a balanced and healthy lifestyle. The centre also established a mutual assistance network for the carers so that they can draw on the resources in the community.
