Contribution
of Canned Products - Ju Eng Home for Senior Citizens
Ju Eng Home
for Senior Citizens (JEH) was officially opened on 28 September 1996 by
Brig. Gen. (NS) George Yeo, then Minister of Health. The Home now accomodates
a total of 314 residents.
Ju Eng Home aims to help the poor and destitute, the aged and frail elderly
by providing day care and rehabilitation programmes. Most of these are
from lower-income famlies, with only 10% of residents being able to afford
nursing care.
Goh Joo Hin Pte Ltd makes weekly contributions of canned food to support
the home's operations in a bid to repay her debts to society, as believed
by Chairman Mr Goh Kai Kia. He believes that "if you can do something
meaningful while you're still alive and it happens to be something you
enjoy, like social work, why not do it?"
