https://friends.assisihospice.org.sg/AssisiDMS/Giving/MyGift.htm Patients of any race, faith and financial position are cared for by our team of specialist doctors, nurses, allied health and pastoral care professionals. When faced with life limiting illnesses, our patients receive medical care, as well as psychosocial, emotional and spiritual care. Assisi Hospice provides care for patients across the continuum of Home Care, Inpatient and Day Care. This allows patients and family members to journey with a clinical team they are familiar with, and to receive care in the way that they need. Our six-storey purpose-built hospice provides a homely ambience with cosy spaces for patients and their loved ones. With 85 Inpatient beds, including specialised wards for Dementia Palliative Care and Paediatric Palliative Care, a Day Care Centre and the outreach of our Home Care team, we serve 2500 patients a year. Founded in 1969 by the Sisters of the Franciscan Missionaries of the Divine Motherhood (FMDM), we are a charity supported by donors, volunteers and corporate organisations who journey with us in our cause.

Be part of the first-ever Assisi Hospice Education and Research Festival on 25 March 2026, where we tackle the unique opportunities and challenges of integrating education and research within community healthcare. Focused on palliative care, this event will provide an exclusive platform to explore the implementation of Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) in nursing — an innovative framework designed to clarify competencies, enhance supervision, and elevate clinical training in hospice settings.

Drawing from Assisi Hospice’s 5-year journey, our experts will share practical strategies for advancing research in community care. The session will highlight the pivotal role of research in improving service delivery, staff development, and the overall quality of care in palliative settings.

This event is suitable for palliative and acute care practitioners, educators, administrators, and leaders, community healthcare providers interested in developing clinical services, education, and leadership. This forum is also open to both public and private-sector healthcare professionals from other disciplines.

🎶 Welcome to Assisi On Air - where our music therapist Trudy shares live music once a month to bring warmth and comfort.

🔈 While you listen, our patients and staff are also tuning in and enjoying the music through our PA system.

😇 As we step into a new year, may we notice the gentle graces in our lives — the people who lift us up, bring hope, and remind us we are never alone. Today’s song, “Angel in Disguise” by Corrinne May, is a tribute to those quiet everyday angels among us.

Do your eyes quickly light up when you spot a cute baby? For our patient 75 year-old Mr Sun Cho Yu, his eyes lit up when he fulfilled his wish of meeting his first granddaughter for the first time and even witnessing her baby blessing, right here at Assisi Hospice.

Diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer, Mr Sun’s health declined rapidly, leading to his admission to Assisi Hospice on 26 Nov 2025. On the same day, his first granddaughter Kate was born right next door at Mount Alvernia Hospital.

Mr Sun's son, King Wai, shared how eagerly his father anticipated Kate's arrival, “He kept asking me when the baby would be out and when he could see her.” When King Wai learned about the hospital's beautiful tradition of a baby blessing service, he wanted his father to be part of it. With support from the teams at Mount Alvernia Hospital and Assisi Hospice, arrangements were made to bring baby Kate to Mr Sun’s ward for the blessing. Together with family, Mr Sun celebrated this precious new chapter in their lives.

Just two days after the baby blessing, Mr Sun passed away peacefully at Assisi Hospice. King Wai expressed his gratitude to the staff for creating such a meaningful memory. He shared, “Although my Dad moved on shortly after meeting Kate, he held her in his arms. We will cherish his memory every time we look at her and share stories of her Granddad.”

This touching story reminds us of the power of love and connection, even in life’s most challenging moments. 💕

Christmas came alive at Assisi Hospice on 28 November, filling our grounds with joy, laughter and heartwarming moments. Our patients and their loved ones were greeted by our adorable Minion and cheerful Snowman mascot, spreading festive fun from the very start.

The evening started with two beautiful performances — a graceful ballet showcase by Singapore Ballet Academy, and a touching song by the talented hearing-impaired children from One Heart One Voice, whose courage and harmony moved us deeply.

Our very own Senior Boleh Chimes Choir X Golden Beats formed by our patients and AH MAH Choir formed by staff of Assisi Hospice and Mount Alvernia Hospital, lit up the stage with energy, rhythm and Christmas spirit.

As the evening became dark, the sky burst into colour with fireworks, followed by the grand lighting of our Christmas trees.

A huge thank you to all our performers, staff, and dedicated volunteers from Cloudera, whose support and love made this magical Christmas celebration possible for our patients. 💙

A shoutout to .sg with thanks for delighting us with their special curated Christmas drinks.

🎄 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐬 💖
If you had ever taken bus 151 through Hougang to your schools, you might have met 65 year-old Mr Yeo Kok Hoong, your friendly bus captain who had been driving this same route for over 30 years. Born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Mr Yeo moved to Singapore in his 30s and worked as a bus driver. His long days often began as early as 5 am or ended as late as 2 am, working six days a week. Living in a rented flat with his fellow bus drivers, Mr Yeo found joy in simple pleasures, especially cooking favourite dishes like Hokkien Mee and ginger chicken for his flat mates on his days off.

In 2024, Mr Yeo was diagnosed with lung cancer. He bravely underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but by the end of the year, the cancer had spread to his brain. As he was single and his siblings were in Malaysia, he faced his illness mostly alone. His close friends here were fellow bus drivers who were also busy with their work.

When he came under the care of Assisi Hospice in April 2025, his worries were many. He was anxious about his declining health and uncertain about who would care for him. Financial concerns weighed heavily after he had to stop working. Our doctors and nurses provided him with round-the-clock care to manage his symptoms, and our medical social worker helped him to apply for financial aid and assured him of his care. He came under our No One Dies Alone (NODA) programme, and our volunteers became his friends. They brought light and companionship to his days, understanding his love of food and organising a small gathering with his favourite hawker delights. The weekly Food Buddy programme ensured his cravings were met, with volunteers delivering the dishes he longed for.

On 21 August 2025, Mr Yeo passed away peacefully at Assisi Hospice. True to the spirit of NODA, volunteers stayed by his bedside, offering comfort and companionship until his final moments.

This Christmas, bring care, comfort, and friendship to patients like Mr Yeo who face their final journey with courage but need a community to walk beside them. Donate at https://tinyurl.com/assisichristmas2025.

From carefully whisking and whipping to layering the savoiardi, our patients were fully focused on creating the perfect dessert during the tiramisu making workshop – Mdm Kee even stood up from her wheelchair when she was whipping the egg whites to ensure that she got the texture just right! And when the tiramisu was finally done? The joy on everyone’s faces said it all – nothing beats that sweet moment of success! 🎉 A big thank you to the IWG Singapore for making the workshop engaging and fun, and for bringing a little Italian flair to our patients!
