MWS CHRISTALITE METHODIST HOME
MWS runs a Welfare Home for persons who are homeless, destitute or abandoned. About 75% of residents may have permanent residency in the Welfare Home while approximately 17% may reintegrate into the community.
At our Centre, our focus is on rehabilitation and reintegration. Residents undergo rehabilitation programmes designed for cognitive stimulation and muscle reconditioning. They also enjoy an array of recreational activities, such as weekly game sessions, bazaars and movie nights, to build social, emotional engagement.

OUR APPROACH
Holistic Care Plan
Each resident is cared for by a multi-disciplinary team that ensures the resident’s basic, physical, psychosocial, cognitive and spiritual needs are holistically met.
Through keeping in contact with residents’ families and Day Release Schemes that allow residents to work outside, we strengthen family and community bonds and facilitate our residents’ eventual reintegration into their families and society.
Person-Centred Care
We encourage resident-directed living by motivating our residents to tap on their strengths and potential, and be involved in their own care to ensure their needs are met holistically.
