SINGAPORE: About 200 assisted living flats will be launched in Queenstown later this year

......

This marks the second pilot for the housing type, known as Community Care Apartments – first launched at a site in Bukit Batok in February last year.

The flats feature senior-friendly design features and subscriptions to care services, targeting home buyers aged 65 and above who want to live on their own but receive care if needed.

......

The Bukit Batok pilot had more than four applicants vying for each unit, and to date, 154 units have been booked out of the 169 flats that were offered

......

The second pilot will be launched in Queenstown's upcoming Health District. The district is where HDB, the National University of Singapore, healthcare partners and grassroots organisations will collaborate to “create a built environment that promotes a healthy lifestyle and active and healthy ageing”.

Alexandra Hospital is also located in Queenstown, allowing medical and healthcare services to be “seamlessly incorporated into the care model for residents”
