Services and Facilities
Care Team
The multi-disciplinary team made up of doctors, nurses, allied health professionals (physiotherapists and occupational therapists), pharmacists and medical social workers work together to provide quality post-acute care in preparation for patient’s return to the community. Patients typically stay for 3 to 4 weeks for a period of intensive rehabilitation.
Senior Care Centre (SCC)
Previously known as Day Rehabilitation Centre, the centre was renamed as SCC to better align with the growing spectrum of day care services including active and maintenance rehabilitation. Ren Ci’s senior care centre provides aged care services for the senior during the day. It helps to improve their physical and functional capabilities as they acclimatize to the community.
Chronic Sick Unit (CSU)
The Chronic Sick Unit cares for patients who are mostly bedridden with severe physical disabilities and multiple chronic conditions. This group of patients require higher levels of nursing care, regular therapy and sensory stimulation to maintain the integrity of their muscles, joints and sensory functions. As part of Ren Ci’s strive for excellence, the Trial-off Tracheostomy (TOT) project was implemented at chronic sick wards, with the aim of helping patients with tracheostomy to wean off the tube so they can breathe and eat on their own again. It has been adopted as a standard of care for suitable chronic sick patients. The first in the Intermediate and Long Term Care (ILTC) sector to successfully implement this, greatly increasing the quality of life for successful patients.
Ren Ci Learning Academy (RCLA)
The establishment of Ren Ci Learning Academy (RCLA) seek to upskill the community’s capabilities to better care for the elderly. One of RCLA’s focus will be workforce transformation such as the upskilling for nurses. Training programme that facilitates skills transfer between Therapist and care staff and advanced training for Therapy Support Staff to perform higher skilled assessments and interventions will also be developed. Another emphasis of RCLA is the cross-training and transdisciplinary model of care for Allied Health Professionals (AHP).
