Elder Care
Reconstruction of St. Theresa's Mercy Home for the Elderly
Project Details
Need for Reconstruction
The existing building, having served the residents for several decades, has aged significantly and is now experiencing structural deterioration, including leakage. Given the condition of the building and the trust's commitment to the well-being of its residents, it has been decided to demolish the current structure and undertake a full reconstruction in its place.
Vision for the New Home
The reconstructed home will be purpose-built to be elderly user-friendly, ensuring that the physical environment supports the comfort, safety, and dignity of its women residents. The new building will continue the home's tradition of providing a spacious, homely atmosphere where residents feel at ease.

About the Home and Its Services
St. Theresa's Mercy Home provides holistic residential care to elderly women. Key features of the home's care model include:
- Nutritious Meals: A carefully planned menu ensures the good health and nourishment of every resident.
- Medical Care: A doctor from the adjoining St. Theresa's Multi Specialty Hospital makes regular visits, and a nurse administers routine monitoring of vital signs. In the event of a medical emergency, residents have immediate access to the hospital located within the same campus.
- Social and Emotional Well-being: Various groups visit the home regularly to engage and rejuvenate the residents. The home has also successfully facilitated the reconciliation of some residents with their families.
