St. Andrew’s Community Hospital offers Rehabilitative, Sub-acute, Dementia and Palliative Care, with most of the patients admitted from acute hospitals after their acute phase there.

Rehabilitative and Palliative Care are provided at our wards in the Main Building.

Sub-acute care is provided at our wards in The Integrated Building.

Rehabilitative Care
Patients undergo rehabilitation to help them get back to their best possible function. They may receive physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, music and art therapy.

Sub-acute Care
Patients who are recovering from acute illness receive medical treatment and therapy services.

Paediatric Care
Paediatric care is offered to young patients from 2 years old to 18 years old. Referred to us from an acute-care hospital, these patients suffer from illnesses which require longer term non-acute medical and/or rehabilitative care.

Dementia Care
Patients with dementia receive person-centered care in a dedicated ward while they undergo rehabilitation.

Palliative Care
Patients with serious and complex illness receive holistic care aimed at reducing suffering and optimising the quality of life.

Partnering the Caregivers
St. Andrew’s Community Hospital believes that an active partnership between a patient’s family and our care team is important. We encourage our patients’ families to plan early for a caregiver in order to facilitate caregivers training so as to help the patient with his or her activities of daily living after he or she is discharged.

Pastoral Care
Our in-house chaplains offer a hand of friendship, a listening ear and a compassionate heart as they journey alongside patients on their journey towards recovery. Through the pastoral care programme, our pastoral care team seeks to help patients and family members find solace, strength and meaning to overcome challenges in life.

Volunteers
As a Social Service Agency, St. Andrew’s Community Hospital (SACH) partners the community actively to care for our patients in meaningful ways. Our volunteers, comprising retirees, housewives, working adults, youths and school students provide company, support and assistance for our patients.
