Senior Activity Centres and Active Ageing Centres

Ministry of Health (MOH) provides data on Senior Activity Centres (SACs) and Active Ageing Centres (AACs). SACs are drop-in centres that provide information and referral as well as activities to support seniors living in HDB rental flats. AACs adopt a population-based approach to support seniors across the socio-economic spectrum, beyond HDB rental flats. AACs deliver a suite of "ABC + 2S" services, namely Active ageing programmes, Befriending/buddying support, info and referral to Care services, serve as the Social Connector for Social and Lifestyle interventions and serve as community nodes for Community Screening.

Starting from April 2021, Senior Activity Centres (SACs) began transitioning to Active Ageing Centres (AACs) in stages, and by 2024, all SACs are fully operating as AACs.
