• Between 2013 and 2016, 5 new DACs were established, bringing the total number to 25 as at end-2016.

Respite and Home Care Services

• The DDP provides social and recreational programmes for a few hours, a few days a week, to relatively higher functioning persons with disabilities with minimal care needs and no serious behavioural issues. These programmes are held within the premises of four Thye Hua Kwan Senior Activity Centres.
• These sessions comprise social and recreational activities, such as playing games, singing and going on outings to places in the neighbourhood.

• The pilot was launched to benefit persons with disabilities who did not requre or were not suitable for centre-based services such as DACs. The services include therapy, personal hygiene care, housekeeping and medication reminder services.
• This enabled persons with disabilities to live in their own home, with family, friends, and neighbours in the community. The services also allow for caregivers to have more rest time. 

Residential Services

• Adult disability homes provide long-term residential care and short-term respite care to adults with disabilities, aged 18 to 55 years with no alternative accommodation. By 2016, there were eight disability homes with a capacity for 870 residents.

Daily supervision is provided to ensure the clients’ safety and priority is given to individuals engaged in Sheltered Workshops or open/supported employment. As at end-2016, there are three adult disability hostels.
• The Mindsville@Napiri community group home was set up in 2008 to enable adult persons with disabilities to live independently in designated HDB units retrofitted with friendly features for persons with disabilities.
