Individuals affected by a variety of medical conditions may require rehabilitation in order to complement or complete their medical care.

Community rehabilitation services include Active rehabilitation, which aims to improve the client’s functional status; and Maintenance Exercises, which aims to reduce the client’s functional decline.
In collaboration with the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC), Sree Narayana Mission (Singapore) [SNM] will be offering a new Night Respite service for seniors requiring assistance in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) or coping with dementia with sleep-wake cycle issues.
