CNA had a first look inside the 195,000 sq ft development, which began operations on Tuesday.
Perennial Living, Singapore's first private assisted living development, opened its doors on August 18, 2022, with a target of achieving 30% occupancy in its first year. The 195,000 sq ft complex, located at Parry Avenue, offers a residential feel with floor-to-ceiling windows, kitchenettes, and private lift access. Senior-friendly features include fall detection systems, motion-sensor lighting, emergency call systems, and vital sign monitoring devices.
Residents can access various healthcare services within the compound, such as doctor visits, rehabilitation, and traditional Chinese medicine treatments. The development spans 200 assisted living apartments and 100 nursing suites and caters to seniors who require varying levels of assistance while retaining some independence.
Perennial Holdings, the developer, expects 80% occupancy in the following year. The apartments range from 302 sq ft to 569 sq ft, and assisted living packages start at about S$8,000 (US$6,260) per month, with nursing suite packages starting at S$7,600 per month. The complex also includes a Perennial Wellness centre, a healthcare and wellness facility open to the public, offering various medical and rehabilitation services.
