“This is an extension of a movement within the Methodist community to (enrich) lives—a movement grounded in compassion for those around us, especially those in need, and grounded in dignity, because these are souls precious before God,” said Eugene Toh, Chairperson of the MWS Board of Governance.
He was speaking at the Dedication Service of MWS Nursing Home – Eunos (ENH) on 8 April 2025, attended by about 70 representatives from the Board of Governance and Centre Governance Committee, members of the Methodist community and MWS staff.
Key leaders from the Methodist community came together to dedicate the Nursing Home, its residents and their families, as well as staff and volunteers, to the Lord.
“At the heart of our mission is the deep Methodist ethos of caring for those in need. We are reminded of Jesus’ teachings to love our neighbour—and we live this out in service to others,” said MWS CEO Calvin Ngo in his opening address.
Located alongside MWS Senior Care Centre and SingHealth Polyclinic, the 171-bed MWS ENH is part of an integrated care ecosystem—offering seamless access to primary healthcare, rehabilitation, and palliative care in one place.
As MWS’ third Nursing Home, ENH marks a major milestone in our commitment to holistic, 24/7 residential care and customized rehabilitation for seniors—made possible by the generosity of Wesley Methodist Church (WMC), MWS ENH’s founding church partner.
Bishop Philip Lim, MWS Patron, delivered the Scripture message and led the Dedication prayer, joined by Rev Reuben Ng (TRAC), Rev S Kumar (ETAC) and Rev Raymond Fong (WMC).
We commit MWS, ENH and future nursing homes to God’s hands. To him be the glory!
Meet the first resident of MWS Nursing Home – Eunos
From gloomy to glowing—that’s how Mdm Koh Ah Hua (top right), 64, described the transformation of her 86-year-old mother, Mdm Yap Eng Hway (top left), the first resident admitted to MWS’ third Nursing Home on 10 March 2025.
For years, Mdm Yap was cared for by her three children on a rotational basis. But as dementia worsened her long-standing behavioural issues, the strain became too much. Balancing caregiving with work and family left Mdm Koh and her siblings physically and emotionally exhausted. “I lost nearly 5kg from the stress,” Mdm Koh shared.
Since her mother’s admission, the change has been profound. “She’s like a different person now— pleasant, cheerful, and socially engaged,” said Mdm Koh. “She even looks prettier!”
