On walking into the two-acre compund, Sri Seronok feels like a holiday resort. "To qualify as a resident here, you need to be at least 55 years old and be able to look after yourself," says manager Michael Revi, 66, who also stays at Sri Seronok.

"Most of them do their own cooking, while some cater their food. It's a five minute walk to the shops where there's a morning market every Wednesday." "All residents are self-sufficient and we are proud of this because Sri Seronok's aim is to foster and maintain a sense of dignity and independence among the elderly," he adds.

Residents can be seen as early as 6.30am taking ther morning walks and exercises before breakfast. Later, some of them visit each other, watch TV, cook or relax. Unlike old folks homes, there is no schedule of activities or fixed visiting hours at Sri Seronok.

Peace & Freedom

One of the residents who have lived there for over three years, chose Sri Seronok for its open yet safe atmosphere, thanks to the unique architectural layout and 24-hour security.

"I didn't want to live in a ahouse with fencing and grilles, so this is just nice and spacious. Our children, who were initially puzzled by our decision to stay here instead of with them, are very supportive," says a resident.

Comfortable & Happy

Sri Seronok residents are a happy and contented community, enjoying their golden years in a comfortable, safe and serene environment.
