Finding a better alternative to old folks homes in Singapore part 2: Exploring country clubs, surprisingly viable?In my previous article, I discussed the future living arrangements of older adults who do not fit the traditional Singaporean model.
Today, I want to propose another possibility, this time something more local: staying in a country club! Though do keep in mind, they won't help with chores, although they may be incentivised to do so. At the very least, you can call for help if needed. Moreover, staying in a country club makes it easy to participate in the various events and courses the club may offer, without having to worry about transport — no excuse not to socialise then!
Singapore Polo Club: you must be a member or reciprocal club member to rent one of the 15 rooms , which were recently constructed 1-2 years ago. These range between 23 and 33 sq m in size, and $170 w/ GST to $240 w/ GST per night, with long stay rates offered for stays over 14 days, with no maximum length of stay The Club is located in Mount Pleasant, so not a particularly central location if you don't drive.
