Ageing in Place An Overview
The ageing population in Singapore remains one of the most pressing issues of our times. By 2030,
our senior population (65 years old and above) will grow to be one-fifth of our total resident
population, enough to fill nine Toa Payoh towns1. To meet the anticipated increase in care needs,
merely building more old folks homes is not an adequate solution. As such, recently, the Singapore
government has shifted her focus toAgeing in Place.
Under this scheme, aged care and support facilities will be located within each local community to
allow more seniors to enjoy their old age close to their loved ones, for as long as possible. The long-
term aim is to make every neighbourhood senior-friendly by developing a range of local, moreaccessible aged care services to meet the elderlys various needs, to support their caregivers, and to
allow their families to remain in close contact even if they need to be cared for in institutions.
The 3rd Eco Design Challenge aims to enable you to understand challenges faced by the elderly
and acquire knowledge of environmental conservation. You will also improve your critical
thinking, creativity, project management, organizational and interpersonal skills as you
brainstorm, write proposal, construct models, prepare poster and rehearse for presentation.

As such, in the spirit ofAgeing in Place, the government strives to boost the level of participation of
the elderly in community activities. This will enhance both their physical, mental and emotional well-
being. In addition, to ensure that senior citizens can remain active for as long as possible, the
government also plans to improve the quality of the healthcare systems in the community.
In concert with national efforts, in this category, you are required to design an Aged Care
Community Centre an ideal place for families to drop off their aged parents during the day and
have the peace of mind to focus on their work, knowing their parents are being cared for. This
compound (approximately60 80m), located within the community, should consist of:
A Senior Activity Centre: A place where seniors can make friends, engage in regular socialactivities and receive social support.
A Senior Care Centre: A place that provides basic day care, dementia day care, dayrehabilitation services and basic nursing services.
In the Written Proposal and Presentation, you are required to:
Elaborate on all features of your Centre, Elaborate on how your design is elderly-friendlyand eco-friendly, Elaborate on the list ofactivities and services you want to find in this Centre, Analyse how your Centre is able to provide all-round care for the general well-being of
the elderly who are residing in the community,
Justifyhow your design and facilities used are applicable to local context.
