Our vision is to foster a society for all ages that supports active ageing, values the contributions of older people, and provides

for a secure old age. We foster this vision by advancing services, skills and knowledge of individuals and communities in

eldercare; facilitating older people’s participation in society; and promoting their views for policy planning.

We are dedicated to optimising the experience of ageing and enhancing the quality of life of older persons through our

community health and social services, promoting successful ageing, and pioneering new approaches to ageing and eldercare

throughout Singapore and the region. We aim to be a catalyst for constructive change by addressing population ageing and

eldercare issues at the policy level. We actively pursue our mission by focusing our work on these three pillars of eldercare:

Service, Education and Collaboration.

We are motivated by the spirit of innovation to find ways to improve the eldercare landscape and the quality of life for older

people. In the pursuit of excellence, we set high professional standards for ourselves and for the services we provide to older

people, their caregivers, colleagues and partners. As a catalyst for constructive change, we actively promote scholarly research

on ageing issues; invite distinguished scholars to share their expertise; and support policy planners with regular feedback,

dialogue and recommendations for possible solutions.

At age 86, in honour of her father and father-in-law, Mrs Tsao Ng Yu Shun established the Tsao Foundation in Singapore to

enhance the quality of life of the older person. Her concern for the seniors who can neither access nor afford healthcare was

matched by her insight into the common aspirations of every person to age at home, in the community among friends and

family, and to have information, choice and the exercise of self-determination.

Over the last 17 years, Tsao Foundation and its Hua Mei community-based health and social services have worked towards

addressing those concerns and to support ageing in place, under the leadership of Mrs Tsao Ng Yu Shun’s grand-daughter, Dr

Mary Ann Tsao.

For her service and dedication to seniors, Mrs. Tsao Ng Yu Shun at age 94, was honoured at a global conference sponsored by

the United Nations (UN) in Montreal, in September 1999. The occasion was the first UN Year of the Older Person.

Mrs. Tsao Ng Yu Shun passed away in 2001, but her vision and values continue to guide the Foundation, which has earned a

reputation for distinction in the eldercare industry for innovation, practice and collaboration.

Hua Mei Centre for Successful Ageing (HMCSA)

HMCSA is an integrated collective of the various community-based aged care models which Tsao Foundation has

pioneered and developed since 1993. Delivering a holistic, person-centred continuum of care, its multi-disciplinary

medical and psycho-social services promote ageing in the community and successful ageing to support health

promotion, disease management, social engagement and emotional wellbeing.

Hua Mei Clinic (HMC)

HMC provides a range of healthcare services for community-dwelling individuals aged 40 years and above. To reflect its life course

approach to health management, the clinic changed its name from the previous, 'Hua Mei Seniors Clinic'. HMC is distinguished

by its integrated, multi-disciplinary practice, elder-friendly service and strong emphasis on health promotion and on maintaining

the person’s functionality in the community where he lives.

In 2011, 34% of HMC's patients were aged between 40-59 years old, and 33% between 60-74 years. The Clinic served 277

patients and they made a total of 3232 visits. Around 77% of the visits were for follow-up of chronic medical conditions such

as hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular problems. 63 % of the patients were female, in part reflecting the longer life

expectancy of females (85 years) as opposed to males (79 years).

HMC strives for resource efficiency, utilising the most qualified, least expensive resource for service delivery. Towards this

end, in 2011, its nurses trained to provide health education, and to carry out routine assessment for functional impairment in

geriatric patients. Improved health knowledge empowers patients and enables them to make the necessary lifestyle changes to

better manage chronic diseases. Similarly, with routine assessment for functional impairment, potentially disabling problems like

visual impairment causing falls can be picked up early and managed appropriately.

In January 2010, Parliament passed the amendment bill to the Medical Registration Act, initiating the formation of a Family

Physician Register. The Register seeks to recognize family medicine as a discipline with a unique body of skills and knowledge.

It also signals the Ministry of Health's (MOH) commitment to support the development of family medicine as a discipline on an

equal footing with other specialist disciplines. Besides a post-graduate diploma in Geriatric Medicine, HMC's principal physician,

Dr Tan Sai Tiang, is also a member of the Family Physician Register.

Hua Mei Acupuncture and TCM Centre (HMAC)

HMAC taps on the time-honoured tradition of Chinese medical practices to offer a complementary option within the holistic life course

approach to health promotion upheld at HMCSA.

Operating at two locations - Block 128 Bukit Merah and 15th floor, Central Plaza - HMAC had a combined clinic attendance of

7,651 visits in 2011, an 11.3 % increase over 2010. The total number of herbal prescriptions rose by 28.6% to 2,156, in part

attributable to the increase in infertility cases referred to the Clinic.

Another significant development in the year was HMAC's participation in the Health Promotion Board's thrust to improve

women's health and prevent sexually transmitted disease (STD). Working through the Hua Mei Academy of Training (HMTA),

the Clinic delivered 7 talks to 'heartlanders' on women’s health issues and STD, and introduced them to the role of traditional

Chinese medicine in the management of women’s health.

For greater efficiency, HMAC upgraded its IT software to improve electronic data management in August 2011.

Hua Mei Mobile Clinic (HMMC)

HMMC provides team-managed multi-disciplinary healthcare to homebound and at-risk elders in the community.

In addition to caring for the elders' medical and nursing needs, HMMC supports their care partners through training and health

education, and provides linkages for the elders and their families to social resources such as regular donations of patient’s

consumables like adult diapers and nutritional feeds. The elders referred to the Clinic generally have multiple medical

problems, and are frail and at risk. HMMC strives to optimise their health within their individual context, and most of them

eventually become clinically stable and comfortably supported at home.

The patient intake is fairly consistent over the years and in 2011, and HMMC served more than 130 homebound elders. The

patient profile cuts across various demographics. A substantial number of elders comes from the lower income strata,

qualifying for maximum government subsidy.

To provide for another set of unmet needs, from Oct 2011, HMMC started an End of Life Care Programme and an Integrated

Home Care Programme for elders, with funding support from the Tote Board. HMMC also held its inaugural Evening of

Remembrance in tribute to the elders who had passed on in the past year. The event created a sacred space for their families

and caregivers, together with the Clinic's staff, to take a moment to mindfully remember and honour those who have gone on,

and to celebrate their lives through the sharing of memories and personal anecdotes. It was one way for HMMC to support

caregivers through a challenging period of their lives.

HMMC also had the privilege of coordinating the visit of Prof Timothy Quill to present the subject of ‘Palliative Care Systems

in an Ageing Population’. Prof Quill hails from New York, USA, and is a recognised authority on end-of-life care. He graciously

shared his thoughts and knowledge with many aged care professionals who benefited from his visit.

Hua Mei Care Management (HMCM)

HMCM provides vital service linkages and healthcare monitoring to community-dwelling elders with multiple social and medical needs.

2011 saw HMCM moving into its second year of operation under the Assessment for Enabling (ACE) model of care

management. The service team continued to comprise 1.5 nurse care manager, 1 social work care manager, 1 assistant care

manager and 1 admin support staff.

The total number of clients seen for 2011 was 155. The profile of these clients remained mainly unchanged from the previous

year’s -

80% of the elders were aged 70 and above

76% were without any designated caregiver, either single, divorced or widowed

65% suffered from 4 or more medical conditions

18% were on public assistance, but for the other 82%, financial sustainability was often an issue as they frequently could

not qualify for aid under the very stringent government criteria

The percentage of clients with families doubled from 8% in 2010 to 16% in 2011, while the number on public assistance fell by

9%.

Within the group of socially disadvantaged, medically complex elders served by HMCM, these persons tend to have the highest

service need and weakest safety net:

Single elders living with dementia or psychiatric conditions

Elders with multiple chronic medical conditions, sometimes not well managed

Elders with very poor social support or dysfunctional family systems

Elders with psycho-emotional issues manifest as psychosomatic symptoms

Elders who themselves are caregivers of children with psychiatric or intellectually challenged conditions

Caregivers who are themselves living with psychiatric conditions


6

The challenges in HMCM are in working with many clients having the above profile in a fragmented service system where

access to medical records are difficult; transitions from hospital to community are less than well planned; access to necessary

services require navigating highly bureaucratic and stringent admission criteria; and high service demand far outstrips its supply.

Moving forward, HMCM will continue to:

Engage and develop a working relationship with other relevant community health and social care services such as the

Home Nursing Foundation, Senior Activity Centres , and Home Help Services towards building a sustainable care

provision system for clients, and

Engage and develop a working relationship with the relevant hospital and community physicians to build a sustainable

primary healthcare system for the clients

Hua Mei Counselling & Social Work Practice (HMCSW)

HMCSW promotes the psycho-emotional and social wellness of older persons and their caregivers, deepening the dimension of holistic

care over the life course promoted by the Hua Mei Centre of Successful Ageing.

In 2011, HMCSW progressed to Phase II of its Counselling and Coaching Programme with renewed funding from the National

Council of Social Services (NCSS). The scope of the service was enhanced with the development of a para-counselling

programme.

The para-counselling component was designed to complement HMCSW’s professional counselling services - to provide

emotional support and screening for emotional distress for clients who have been discharged from the counselling service, but

who are assessed to need some degree of emotional support till complete healing has taken place. Para-counsellors also

conduct life review sessions for the elders, helping them to reaffirm their strength and contributions. To date, there have been

28 para-counsellors trained and 28 clients referred for the service.

Over the year, a total of 122 elders were referred for individual counselling; and 117 participated in coaching groups on

emotional management and inter-generational relationship enhancement. There was a slight increase in the number of

caregivers coming forward for counselling. Eleven outreach sessions were conducted with external partners to introduce

counselling and HMCSW’s services.

71.3% of the individual counselling was conducted primarily at the home of the clients, with the rest held on HMCSA’s

premises. Four topics dominate the presenting issues of the clients: relationship issues with families; depression; management

of emotions such as anxiety and stress; grief and loss over death, illness and functional decline..

The research project attached to Phase 1 of the Counselling and Coaching Programme to better understand the perception

and effectiveness of counselling for an elderly population was completed. The report, which was based on in-depth interviews

with 41 of HMCSW’s counselling clients, has been shared with MCYS and NCSS which funded the study.

The research found that the counseling intervention helped the clients in -

Providing them support during difficult, challenging times

Validating their choices and normalizing their efforts to care for their own personal needs

Gaining a direction during crisis

Exploring and gaining new perspectives to their issues

Achieving emotional well-being to deep-seated pain; and

Coming to terms with unresolved issues with their losses

All in, the second phase of the counselling and coaching programme enabled the set-up of a more continuous process of

psycho-emotional care through the development of a para-counselling service to complement the work of the counselors, and

also extended its reach to a wider population.

Hua Mei Elder-centred Programme of Inclusive Comprehensive Care (EPICC)

Hua Mei EPICC, which commenced in August 2011, brings to frail elders the health and psycho-social care that they need as they age in

place, in the comfort of their own homes.

Hua Mei EPICC is the latest addition in the continuum of care over the life stages provided by the Hua Mei Centre for

Successful Ageing.

EPICC is a community-based, team-managed primary health and psycho-social care programme that supports the wish of older

persons to continue living at home, in spite of their multiple chronic medical conditions, physical frailty and weak family and

social support network. The programme is aimed at enabling the elders to optimise their health management, independence

and well-being so that they can continue to enjoy life to its fullest; and to provide for the family, a strong health and

psycho-social support system that would enable them to enjoy and cultivate the relationship they have with the elders in their

lives.

With the wellbeing of the elder and his family as the primary focus, the operating principle of EPICC is person-centred, team-

managed care. The team comprises a physician, nurse, social worker, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, day centre

manager, programme assistants, administrative assistant, and driver. Medical and psycho-social services are customised to the

participant’s individual needs so that each person receives no more and no less than what he needs.

The Hua Mei model is based on the widely accepted American-originated Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE)

(http://www.npaonline.org/website/article.asp?id=12). Indeed, On Lok PACE in San Francisco had been an inspiration to the

Foundation’s work to support ageing in the community for the last 19 years.

Admission to EPICC is not restricted to persons who have a dedicated caregiver at home. Although the number of participants

is relatively small in this demonstration project, work is extremely demanding for the profile of participants. At end May 2012,

of 34 participants -

15 or 45% are single elderly who live on their own or with a flat mate who is equally senior

6 or 19% have families with very frail or dysfunctional support system, such as an elderly spouse or amid prevalent mental

health issues of family members

12 or 36% live with ‘regular’ supportive, albeit stressed, family caregivers

The majority - 28 participants - are homebound and need some help with personal hygiene and instrumental activities of daily

living such as grocery shopping, cooking, and house cleaning. All participants need some form of walking aid or are wheel-chair

bound. All suffer from multiple chronic medical diseases, including early dementia – at an average of 5 medical conditions per

person – and need frequent and intensive monitoring of their conditions. Often, the elders were typed as ‘frequent flyers’ in

their numerous and recurring hospital admissions. In short, almost all the participants would likely have ended up in a nursing

home if not for a programme like EPICC.

Incorporated in EPICC is an ambitious randomised controlled trial, undertaken in partnership with Duke-NUS Medical School.

It will assess such significant programme outcomes as delayed nursing home placement, reduced accident and emergency visits

to the hospital, improved quality of life, and lesser caregiver stress. Anecdotally, what has been observed of the EPICC

participants has turned up many positive and heart-warming results to inspire the effort it requires.

Hua Mei Training Academy

The Hua Mei Training Academy (HMTA) is a dedicated training provider in community-based gerontological skills. It offers entry-level and

professional development training to meet the urgent need for capacity-building in the aged care sector. To support personal growth, it also

conducts talks and training in caregiving, life skills and health education.

In 2011, HTMA provided training in eldercare skills to 9,069 participants. Included in the cohort are 7,652 participants in

community-based training; 1,417 corporate workshop participants; and 41 aspiring entrants in the community and social

services sector. Compared to 2010, community-based training increased by more than 118%.

In terms of programmes and partnerships, in 2011, HMTA:

Developed for SingHealth the “Age-Friendly Initiative” handbook for senior management, process owners and frontline

staff, and conducted 18 workshops on “Age Sensitisation” for 486 of their staff practitioners;

Conducted 275 hours of training for the Health Promotion Board’s Senior Health Ambassador Programme (a peer

mentoring programme which engages older persons as volunteers and equips them with the skills to improve their own

health and that of their peers), resulting in 500 people signing up as Senior Health Ambassadors, against the original

target of 280;

Partnered with Civil Service College to conduct 16 workshops for 333 civil servants in health promotion and

management, pre-retirement preparation, and caregiving;

Conducted 41 workshops for 1,417 staff in private and public organisations on topics related to eldercare, health and

ageing issues;

Obtained job placement for 70% of the 41 participants who completed its Workforce Skill Qualification training;

Conducted 2 skill-enhancement workshops for frontline aged care workers, and 2 gerontological and 1 dementia

workshop for the Social Service Training Institute.

Last but not least, after passing through a vigorous test of its standards and practices, HMTA successfully obtained a 6-year

registration under the Enhanced Registration Framework administered by the Council of Private Education, which regulates

private education institutions operating in and from Singapore.

International Longevity Centre Singapore (ILC-Singapore)

The International Longevity Centre Singapore strives to promote the wellbeing of older people, especially through implementing community

programmes, and undertaking inter-disciplinary research and forging collaborations which inform policy, facilitate policy-action translation,

and promote quality, effective practice in Singapore and the region.

ILC Singapore is a member of the prestigious International Longevity Centre Global Alliance, a multi-national consortium which

addresses longevity and population ageing through research and action. Within Tsao Foundation, when ILC Singapore was

established in late 2009, it absorbed the role of the previous Inter-Agency Collaboration division.

One of the most successful programmes under its wing is the Citi-Tsao Financial Education for Mature Women. Piloted in April

2008, it addresses the financial vulnerability of women, who have a longer life expectancy than men. Its specific target is to

reach 1,400 women aged between 40 and 60 years old, with monthly household incomes ranging from $1,500 to $3,500, to

empower them with the financial skills and self-confidence to take charge of their money and develop a clear financial plan for

their own old age. Total participation in the programme grew from 334 individuals in 2009 to 741 in 2010, and 1,126 by 2011.

Other activities and events organised under this programme engaged 1,157 women in 2011.

ILC Singapore also participates in the Civil Service College Strategic LEAD Programme to enhance the knowledge and

appreciation of ageing and its issues among civil servants from various ministries and government agencies in Singapore.

On the international arena, ILC Singapore encouraged the development of the Health Working Group of the HelpAge Asia

Pacific network by leading, facilitating and supporting the germination of a regional pilot project on self-care of older people in

four Asian countries. With 'SCOPE' as its acronym, this project holds great promise for the older people it serves and the

cross-border partnerships it involves, with implications for policy-making in the future.

Reserve Policy

ratios in order to support its operations and future growth.

The Foundation targets to maintain an optimum level of accumulated fund which is equivalent to 1 year of its expenditure in

view of the assured funding from Tsao Ng Yu Shun Trust and sustainable income from consultation fees.

The Foundation regularly reviews and manages its reserves to ensure optimal structure, taking into consideration the future

capital requirements of the Foundation and capital efficiency, prevailing and projected profitability, projected operating cash

flows and projected capital expenditures.

The Foundation is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

There were no changes to the Foundation’s approach to reserve management during the year.
