Welcome to Bishan Home!

Welcome to Bishan Home

Bishan Home for the Intellectually Disabled is one of the first purposefully built residential homes for people with intellectual disabilities in Singapore. The Home is designed to provide a family setting in bedrooms decorated with colourful murals and clustered into neighbourhoods, each with its own shared communal living space for social interaction and recreation.

We are proud of our “family culture” where you will find our residents affectionately referring to our staff as Kor Kor or Cheh Cheh (dialect for brother and sister). Our staff and residents are also actively encouraged through our community outreach programs to integrate with the wider community to build enduring bonds of mutual care and friendship.

Through this website, we hope you will be able to find out more about the special needs of our clients, our services, as well as how you can make a difference by joining us in serving our clients with intellectual disabilities.
