At Kee Ann Care Centre (KACC), many residents and families share the same feeling. This is not a place that feels institutional or distant. It feels warm, personal, and familiar. Behind this atmosphere is the dedication of people who genuinely care, including Mdm Loh, the Assistant Manager of Kee Ann Care Centre (KACC).
Before entering the elderly care industry, Mdm Loh had spent over twenty years building her career in marketing and sales, and had also expanded markets in Hong Kong and China. After retiring, she began searching for a more meaningful way to spend her time. Staying at home felt unfulfilling, and she longed for connection and purpose.
With an outgoing personality and a natural love for people, Mdm Loh started volunteering at an elderly care centre. What began as simple involvement soon grew into a deep passion. Through daily conversations and companionship, she formed a strong emotional connection with the elderly community, which led her to join the industry full time.
For Mdm Loh, elderly care is about presence, patience, and respect. She believes in listening carefully, offering comfort, and treating every resident with dignity. In a society where the elderly are often overlooked, she feels that respect is the foundation of true care.
She sees her work as a mutual exchange. While residents need companionship, she too finds fulfillment in their presence. Through shared activities, conversations, and simple routines, loneliness slowly fades and trust grows.
As a leader, Mdm Loh values clear and open communication with her care team. By understanding daily challenges, procedures, and small operational details, she works closely with her team to resolve issues and ensure care is delivered smoothly and consistently.
Emergencies are rare, but when they occur, residents are promptly sent to the nearest hospital and families are kept informed. Mdm Loh believes that thoughtful daily care and seeing situations from the residents’ perspective helps prevent small issues from becoming serious problems.
To her, quality elderly care means creating a sense of home within the care centre. On sunny mornings, she brings residents to the garden for light exercise and fresh air. Occasionally, they enjoy simple outings by the riverside in Melaka. The centre also provides nutritious meals with varied flavours, ensuring residents feel comfortable and engaged.
Mdm Loh believes elderly care should never feel commercial. It should feel human, warm, and sincere. She gives her whole heart to this profession and hopes to remain a positive, cheerful presence for both residents and staff.
At Kee Ann Care Centre (KACC), care goes beyond routines. It is about heart, connection, and respect.
