About Metta Welfare Association
Metta Welfare Association provides senior daycare services in Singapore, operating from its centre at 32 Simei Street 1. The listing has been verified by KakiList and is registered with ACRA. It holds a 4.5-star rating across 46 Google reviews, a moderate sample that provides a reasonable directional signal of service quality. No regulatory licences are recorded in this listing, and families should confirm directly with Metta whether the centre holds the relevant AIC or MOH registration for its daycare activities.
Families exploring senior daycare typically begin with a care assessment to establish the elder's mobility, medical needs, and cognitive status. It is worth confirming which conditions the centre is equipped to support — including dementia, post-stroke rehabilitation, or physical disability — and what the daily programme involves in terms of activities, meals, nursing oversight, and therapy components. Operational hours (typically weekday daytime sessions), transport arrangements, and respite care options for family caregivers are all practical details to clarify. Where multiple family members are involved in the care decision, it helps to include them in any centre visit.
To take the next step, contact Metta Welfare Association by phone or through the enquiry form to request a care assessment and arrange a visit to the Simei centre before making a commitment.

They have doctors and nurses that attend to those who opt for hospice care at home. The doctors and nurses will visit the patients, frequency of visit based on how serious the patients is. They provide free loan of oxygen concentrator machines. Great job guys! Front of building is school, behind building is the home hospice welfare association. They have a small canteen on 1st level for light snacks and drinks

Our heartfelt thanks goes out to the entire team at Metta who selflessly cared for our palliative family member in his final months at home. To Boon Heng, Ms Huie and Dr Cui, thank you for giving us your attention and assistance every time we needed it - you were all extremely kind, gentle, patient and thoughtful every single step of the way. God bless.

Hidden in the inconspicuous corners of Simei Street 1, this is a gem of a place - for they are not just any school - they are the torch-bearers for schooling kids with special abilities. But that’s not all, these kids learn to bake such sumptuous, gourmet cookies (eggless!!) that you just can’t stop at one… Make sure to drop by and pick-up cookie jars from this amazing school on your next visit to East 👍

★★★★☆
Peaceful and quiet place. Please use the side gate to the HDB carpark if the main gates are closed. There are used clothes and electronics goods collection bins in the basement. There is also a vegetarian cafe in the premises.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Metta Welfare Association charge?›
Senior daycare fees in Singapore typically depend on the level of care required, the number of sessions per week, and whether transport is included. Daily rates at subsidised daycare centres generally range from S$30 to S$120 per day before means-tested subsidies are applied, with monthly costs varying significantly based on attendance frequency. For Metta Welfare Association specifically, pricing is not publicly listed — contact the centre directly for a fee schedule. Confirm what is included: meals, therapy components, consumables, transport, and whether any registration or assessment fee applies. Public holiday arrangements and additional charges for higher-dependency care are also worth clarifying upfront. See the full eldercare cost guide for Singapore →
Live-in or visit-based — which does Metta Welfare Association offer?›
Metta Welfare Association offers centre-based senior daycare, which is a visit-based model — elders attend during the day and return home in the evening. This arrangement is well-suited to families where a caregiver or family member is present overnight but needs structured daytime support and respite. It is distinct from live-in care or home-based visiting services. If your situation requires overnight or around-the-clock support, a daycare placement may be combined with a separate live-in arrangement. Speak to the centre's care coordinator to understand the scope of supervision, the staff-to-elder ratio, and what the transition period looks like for a new attendee adjusting to the routine.
Is the caregiver trained and insured?›
As a welfare association operating a senior daycare centre, Metta is expected to employ staff with relevant care qualifications, which may include trained care associates, nurses, and allied health professionals depending on the programme offered. Centres accepting higher-dependency elders or those with dementia typically have staff with specialist training in those areas. No regulatory licences are recorded in this listing, so families should ask directly whether the centre is registered with the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) or the Ministry of Health (MOH), and whether insurance covers incidents involving elders during the programme. Confirming the staff-to-elder ratio and the availability of a registered nurse on-site are also reasonable questions before enrolment.
