Rehabilitation / Senior Day Care Services
HWA provides integrated rehabilitation and senior care services designed to support individuals with functional limitations, ageing-related needs, and long-term conditions. Our programmes are delivered by trained professionals in a safe, structured, and person-centered environment.
Day Rehabilitation
Our Day Rehabilitation Centres serve adults and older adults with physical disabilities, helping clients regain strength, mobility, and confidence for daily living. Services under our Day Rehab Programme include:
Physiotherapy (PT)
Our licensed physiotherapists assess and treat movement problems caused by disability, trauma, or illness. This includes guided exercises and therapies to improve mobility, balance, and strength. Sessions are tailored to each client’s needs to restore physical function and reduce pain.
Occupational Therapy (OT)
Our licensed occupational therapists help clients relearn or adapt the skills needed for daily activities and work. This may involve therapy to improve fine motor skills, training in self-care tasks, and practical modifications to the home or environment. The goal is to enable clients to maintain or regain independence in daily living, ensuring they can perform activities such as dressing, eating, or vocational tasks safely and confidently.
Community Rehabilitation (Active Rehab)
This intensive, goal-oriented program supports clients requiring active therapy post-hospital discharge or during recovery. It integrates physiotherapy and occupational therapy to enhance skills such as mobility and coordination. Clients participate in regular weekly sessions following a tailored plan to promote community reintegration. Our multidisciplinary team works closely with each individual to achieve personalized rehabilitation goals.
Maintenance Exercise
Clients who have completed active rehabilitation can continue with our Maintenance Exercise Programme. It helps preserve physical function and prevent decline after initial rehabilitation. Sessions are less intensive but held regularly to promote long-term wellness. Engaging in supervised activity helps clients maintain independence and optimal health.
Senior Day Care Services
HWA’s Senior Day Care Centre offers a safe, structured daytime program for older adults, including those with dementia. Our goal is to help seniors stay engaged physically and mentally while providing caregivers with peace of mind throughout the day.

MDC is an all-day program for seniors featuring engaging activities, gentle exercises, and personal care in a social setting. The care team promotes activity and connection through events like light workouts, arts and crafts, music, games, and outings. They assist with meals, toileting, and medication reminders. Designed for frail or socially isolated seniors not needing full nursing care, it offers supervised activities and companionship, fostering physical, mental, and social well-being in a welcoming, home-like environment.

Specialized service for seniors living with dementia. We offer engaging activities, memory exercises, and routines designed to reduce confusion and anxiety.
