Services for Older Persons
What We Do
As reports indicate a continuous rise in the number of seniors and life expectancy in Singapore, ensuring their well-being becomes paramount.
At O'Joy, recognizing the complex needs of seniors, we provide tailored services to take care of the needs of the seniors in three domains - the biological domain, the psychological domain and the social domain. Our approach acknowledges each senior's uniqueness, delivering holistic care through counselling and clinical case management. We establish necessary linkages to additional services and collaborate with community partners, facilitating seamless transitions. Our goal is to empower seniors, enhancing their mental well-being and resilience in facing life's challenges.
Emphasizing a multicultural framework, we conduct counselling sessions in various languages—English, Mandarin, Malay, and other dialects. This ensures effective communication and engagement, respecting the diverse linguistic preferences that seniors are accustomed to expressing themselves in.

Testimonials
LT, 50 yo
I would like to thank and appreciate my counsellor Ms Chew Yat Peng for her professional yet personable approach in helping me walk thru the darkness.
I suffered from past traumatic events that led me into depression. I received no emotional support from friends and family but only judgement and prejudice.
During this difficult time, Yat Peng showed me kindness, patience and understanding. I am very fortunate to have her as my counsellor.
Thank you once again.

I wish to give a shout-out to Magdalene Chua, a counsellor from O’Joy Limited, who had been helping my mom cope with the loss of her husband, my dad, since August 2020.
This is more than a case for Magdalene and she has become a trusted friend to my mom. She brought my mom two colouring books and coloured pencils and they have gone out for meals together, a companion that my mom so badly needs.
I’m grateful to O’Joy Limited for this blessing of a generous and compassionate counsellor in Magdalene Chua.
