About Us

Serving with love since 1983

CEO'S MESSAGE

CEO Joshua Chegne's Message

A very warm welcome to Ling Kwang Home for Senior Citizens!

Since its inception, Ling Kwang Home has emphasised the importance of serving the vulnerable elderly with love, care and respect. Guided by the Biblical Twin mottos, “Not to be ministered unto, but to minister” (Mathew 20:28) and “Blessed are the merciful” (Matthew 5:7), the founders of our Home have laid the bedrock of our value system which have impacted the ways by which our residents are being cared for.

At Ling Kwang Home, we welcome our residents with open arms and hope that they are able to settle well into their new environment. We hope to create a sanctuary for our residents to live out their golden years in a comfortable and conducive “Home Away from Home” and environment.

I am thankful that a sense of togetherness amongst staff had been cultivated during the challenging times of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. We are where we are today because of the support from members of the public who have faithfully given their time, talents, resources and finances to contribute to Ling Kwang Home.

In closing, allow me to share this verse: Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony (Colossians 3:14). Even though we may each be playing different roles at Ling Kwang Home, we have a common purpose and that is to ensure the well-being of all our residents and clients. May we all never fail to be wrapped in love so that together, we may say in perfect harmony, that “We Love to Serve and Serve with Love”!
