In 1977, The Lions Home for the Elders was developed and established at a HDB void deck at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10. With 18 beds, the Home was one of the first non-profit sanctuaries built by a service organisation and dedicated to providing shelter for the elder destitute.

Seven years later, the Lions Clubs in Singapore responded to the Government's call for voluntary service organisations to build and operate Homes by establishing the Lions Nursing Home. Renovated from a World War II bunker, the Home at Toa Payoh Rise officially opened in November 1985 with a capacity for 45 elderly sick residents needing nursing care

In response to the growing need of the aged in Singapore, the Lions, with the help of the Government, raised the necessary funds to build a new Home at Bedok. The cost of building this Home was a massive S$12 million.

In March 1997, the Lions Home for the Elders became operational at its new premises. Located at the junction of Bedok South Road and Bedok South Avenue 2, the Bedok Home can accommodate up to 160 residents in need of nursing care.

On 16 November 1997, the Lions Home for the Elders was officially opened by Mr Yeo Cheow Tong, Minister for Health and the Environment.

Goh Joo Hin is proud to have made a contribution towards this worthy cause.
