A nursing home and an old folks home, same same but different? There are 3 common misconceptions about nursing home.

It can be quite confusing to differentiate between a Nursing Home and an Old Folks Home. Most of us will think that they are actually the same.

They are actually different. Allow us to clarify now!

Nursing home takes care of only the elderly?

Only elderly care in a Nursing Home? No no, it’s a big misconception about nursing home ~~

As a nursing home operator, our clientele profile is not only aged residents. 

In fact, we do take care of post-stroke, post-surgery, patients with neurological deficits and those with mobility issues whom family do not have the resources to take care at home and others. 

Our residents comprise people from all walks of life!

In Econ Medicare Centre and Nursing Home, we strive to provide a better and more professional nursing care plan for our residents. From assisting in Ryle’s tube milk feeding, daily wound dressing, suctioning, rehabilitation, oxygen therapy, palliative care, and so on.

Only nursing care is provided?

Instead of nursing care, we provide other services such as rehabilitation, TCM Intervention, Dr’s consultation, wound care, stoma bag handling and so on.

Furthermore,  we will conduct activities to bring fun and laughter to our residents, especially during festive seasons and celebrations such as Chinese New Year, Parents Day, Christmas Day, Mooncake Festival, Winter Solstice and other celebrations.
