Tamil Murasu – Sree Narayana Mission Sets New Standards in Elderly Care

S. Devendran, Chief Executive Officer of Sree Narayana Mission Nursing Homes, has received the ‘Trailblazer’ Award at the 14th Asia Pacific Eldercare Innovation Awards, organised by Ageing Asia.

The awards ceremony was held at Marina Bay Sands on 15 April, alongside the 17th World Ageing Festival 2026.

The award was presented to Mr Devendran in recognition of his leadership, and of the continuing support and care provided to older people by Sree Narayana Mission Nursing Homes.

The award honours organisations and leaders who are making a meaningful contribution to the ageing community through innovative programmes and activities.

Mr Devendran also shared his vision for the wellbeing of older people.
‘Every individual should have the power to shape their own later life,’ said Mr Devendran.

‘To achieve this, government, social service organisations, community groups and private-sector partners must work together,’ he said.

Sree Narayana Mission has also joined Ageing Asia as a Corporate Gold member.

Through this membership, Sree Narayana Mission can contribute to regional coordination efforts, discussions on new care solutions and regional-level policy dialogue on ageing.

Ahead of the Asia Pacific Eldercare Innovation Awards, a leadership roundtable was held on 13 April at Sree Narayana Mission Nursing Home (Riverwalk) in Yishun.

The roundtable focused on sustainable funding and integrated care models. It was moderated by Janice Chia, Founder and Executive Director of Ageing Asia.
