Perennial Living, the developer behind this initiative, has created a 195,000 sq ft space at 28 Parry Avenue, marking it as Singapore's first private assisted living development. The complex comprises 200 assisted-living apartments, medical and rehabilitation facilities, and a nursing suite with 100 beds.\n\nThe living spaces vary, ranging from studios to two-bedroom suites, each offering comfort and privacy. Sophisticated smart technologies have been implemented to support residents' independence and safety, including remote-controlled curtains, motion-sensor lighting, 24/7 emergency response systems, and call bells with facial recognition for access.\n\nBeyond the living quarters, residents have access to a plethora of recreational facilities. These include a swimming pool, karaoke lounge, mahjong room, and a multi-purpose hall for various activities. A full-sized bus has been converted into a Music Bus, featuring a jukebox, gramophone, piano, and other instruments for music sessions. The garden, with a continuous loop pathway, is designed to support residents with dementia and features a full-sized bus stop, traditional telephone booths, and a post box.\n\nThe Perennial Wellness building, a two-storey medical and rehabilitation center, caters to medical care needs. It houses a Western medical centre, an imaging centre, a hospital-grade rehabilitation and fitness centre, a TCM centre, and a hydrotherapy pool, which is the largest of its kind in a private residential care setting.
