Simei Care Centre is a community based, purpose-built rehabilitation centre operated by the Singapore Anglican Community Services, a voluntary welfare organization. It caters to the various needs of persons with psychiatric disabilities in Singapore.

Completed in December 2004, it has a capacity of 156 residential members and another 90 day care members.

We hope to help each of our members rediscover skills and resources needed to successfully live, learn and work in the community with the least amount of professional assistance.

Our Mission

To provide quality rehabilitation services to persons with psychiatric disabilities in their journey towards recovery, community re-integration and an improved quality of life.

Our Values

Our values and principles of care are based on a collaborative and holistic approach between counselors and members. Simei Care Centre aims to be a place where our members can find the help and support needed in their journey toward recovery. We believe in inculcating r.i.c.h.e. values in our members i.e. recovery, independence, creativity, harmony and employment.
