National Day Rally: ‘Age Well Neighbourhoods’ can increase spaces, accessibility of services for seniors

I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.
During the National Day Rally, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced plans to create "Age Well Neighbourhoods" in Singapore to enhance support for seniors. The initiative aims to expand existing care arrangements, particularly in older towns like Toa Payoh, by integrating senior-friendly features and services into public housing. The first neighbourhoods will be tested in select areas, focusing on accessibility to healthcare and home-based services, while ensuring seniors can remain in familiar environments as they age.
