Background
The Moral Home for Aged Sick was set up by Chee Hoon Kog Moral Promotion Society in 1986 as a community service to look after the aged sick in Singapore. The original Home was declared opened on 11 September 1988 by the then Minister for Community Development and 2nd Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr Wong Kan Seng.
The Present Home
The original Moral Home for the Aged Sick was a renovated old Community Centre. Because of its structural and building constraints, it could only take in 26 residents. From the day of its opening, the Home was filled to its maximum capacity Thus in 1988, the Home applied to Government for an adjoining piece of vacant land to embark upon the building of the new home. The first-phase of this new home was completed on 17th July 1994 and only male residents were admitted. The second-phase was completed in October 1995, adding the necessary facilities to admit female residents. The project cost was about $8 million.
Number

The Home can now take in 120 full-time residents and 5 day care residents.
