MINDS HUB - One-Stop Touchpoint for Persons with Disabilities
An estimated up to 80% adult persons with disabilities (PWDs) / persons with intellectual disabilities (PWIDs) in Singapore may be undiagnosed or unserved, and are not attending regular services.
This results in deteriorating conditions and ultimately a pre-mature need for PWD/PWIDs to be kept in residential institutions. It is important to keep PWIDs in the community, as placing them in homes or institutionalised facilities will only further deteriorate their conditions, and isolate them from the community.
There is also a significant mental, emotional and physical strain on caregivers who have to manage the challenges that come with caregiving for aging PWDs/PWIDs.
To address this, MINDS Hub offers an array of healthcare and social support services all under one roof. Located in the heartlands of Singapore, MINDS Hub ensures PWDs/PWIDs and their families have more support closer to their homes, enabling them to participate actively in the community and to live independently.
