残疾人护理

The Metta Day Activity Centre for the Intellectually Disabled (IDAC) is one of Metta’s earliest centres, established in 1995. It supports adults with intellectual disabilities aged 18 to 55, providing a safe and supportive environment where they can engage meaningfully with staff and fellow clients while developing skills to enhance their quality of life.

Located at the void deck of a residential block in Hougang, IDAC operates as a self-sufficient centre with its own kitchen, training and recreational facilities. Clients participate in programmes that focus on daily living skills, community living skills and behavioural management, equipping them with greater confidence and independence in their daily lives.

Partially funded by the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) and the National Council of Social Service (NCSS), IDAC provides day care services for adults aged 18 to 55 from diverse backgrounds who have intellectual disabilities, including Down syndrome, autism and developmental delays.

Some individuals may also experience challenges with adaptive functioning, which can affect areas such as communication, self-care and cognitive learning. Through structured programmes and meaningful engagement, IDAC supports clients in developing these skills while encouraging greater participation in the community.
