History
- Bishan Home was declared open by then Deputy Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on 25th September 1999 and started operations the following month. The Home is a joint effort between the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) and the Bible-Presbyterian Welfare Services.
- The Home introduced its DAC program in 1999 as a social service in response to appeals from desperate parents in the surrounding neighbourhood for such service.
- When Bishan Home first started, the Home was registered under the Bible Presbyterian Welfare Services umbrella. In 2007 the Home was registered as a separate Society and obtained Charity and Institution of Public Character (IPC) status in its own right. Bishan Home is also a member of the National Council of Social Services.
