MND expands seniors programme

It aims to encourage private households with seniors to install senior-friendly enhancements.

Ministry of National Development (MND) will expand the Enhancement for Active Seniors (EASE) Programme to include seniors living in private properties.

The ministry said it aims to encourage private property households with seniors to install senior-friendly enhancements within their homes.

Under the programme, all households living in private properties with at least one senior will be eligible to engage a contractor from a pre-qualified list, to supply and install a range of senior-friendly fittings.

MND will cover 75% of the cost of selected senior-friendly fittings, up to a cap of $1,200. More than 70,000 households with seniors living in private properties will benefit from the programme.

It will be rolled out as a three-year programme and will be launched by the first quarter of 2026.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
