My Father's Home

My Father’s Home at Damansara Perdana was started in 1998 by founder Sia Chooi Chin and a group of friends. My Father’s Home focuses on the ‘end times’ assistance and caregiving for elderlies. Many elderlies who are housed there either celebrate their final few Chinese New Year celebrations, last Christmas or last birthday at the home. The home houses elderlies with Alzheimer, psychiatric condition, immobile, bedridden as well as healthy and mobile elderlies. My Father’s Home, according to founder Sia Chooi Chin promotes active living among the elderlies especially those who are still mobile and capable of performing simple tasks such as watering the plants, gardening work, sweeping the floor, serving one another’s needs, cooking etc. By doing so, it aims to cultivate a sense of ownership and belonging among the elderlies to the homes they belong to. In every sense, it is really to make them feel as though they are at their own homes (which is really the case for some homeless elderlies as they do not have a physical home to go back to). My Father’s Home believes that every elderly person deserves to live with dignity right to their last breath and this is the very DNA they hope to inculcate in every occupant in My Father’s Home communal living.
