Clients at an activity workspace called Oaktree, which supports ageing clients who are 45 and above, at Minds Regional Hub .Adults with intellectual disabilities will soon be able to receive the services they need at the Minds centre nearest to their residence, instead of travelling long distances to do so.
Located at 29 Rosyth Road, the Hougang hub has specialised units for ageing clients and those with both autism and intellectual disability, among other things. Speaking at the reopening on Nov 15, Minister for Social and Family Development Masagos Zulkifli said the new hub supports two recommendations released by the Taskforce on Community Living for Persons with Disabilities in September.
The new hub has also set up two new specialised units – an activity workspace called Oaktree to support ageing clients who are 45 and above, and the autism spectrum disorder-intellectual disability training unit to serve those with higher support needs. The Hougang hub also has amenities such as a basketball court, futsal court and smart gym to encourage clients to adopt healthy lifestyle habits.
