Community hospitals are the next step for patients who are discharged from acute hospitals but need rehabilitative and sub-acute care to help with their recovery. This allows patients to transition back to their communities and daily lives. On average, patients at our community hospital for rehabilitation stay with us for about 1 month. Those who recover faster and achieve their medical and rehabilitation goals earlier may be discharged within 1 to 2 weeks. 

At Ren Ci Community Hospital, our patients are referred to us from acute hospitals. Over half of all our patients are recovering from orthopaedic conditions such as hip and lower limb fractures. Other patients cared for include those recovering from stroke and infections (such as pneumonia and urinary tract infections).  They are usually elderly and come from low-income families, with around 80% means-tested to be in the lowest income tier and requiring greater financial assistance.

Each patient is provided with a personalised rehabilitation programme to better target their needs and enable better healing and recovery. We also provide three healthy meals per day with a varied menu created with the supervision of a dietician, as well as light refreshments at other times. All meals are halal certified, and patients who need therapeutic diets for their medical conditions are able to avail of them during their stay with us.
