MND expands seniors programme
It aims to encourage private households with seniors to install senior-friendly enhancements.
Ministry of National Development (MND) will expand the Enhancement for Active Seniors (EASE) Programme to include seniors living in private properties.
The ministry said it aims to encourage private property households with seniors to install senior-friendly enhancements within their homes.
Under the programme, all households living in private properties with at least one senior will be eligible to engage a contractor from a pre-qualified list, to supply and install a range of senior-friendly fittings.
MND will cover 75% of the cost of selected senior-friendly fittings, up to a cap of $1,200. More than 70,000 households with seniors living in private properties will benefit from the programme.
It will be rolled out as a three-year programme and will be launched by the first quarter of 2026.
