What is the Village?
SJSM Village is an inter-generational community that was first envisioned in 2013 by St John’s – St Margaret’s Church. When the opportunity to re-develop the grounds of the church arose, new inter-generational facilities were designed and built with seniors and young children in mind.
The Village builds on the church’s earlier community service offerings in the Dover neighbourhood, which included Heartfriends BASC (now, Heartfriends Student Care Centre) for school children and a community activity centre called “KopiStop” for senior Dover residents.
SJSM Village now also encompasses new entities in the SJSM Nursing Home, Little Seed Preschool (SJSM), St. Andrew’s Senior Care (Dover) and St. Andrew’s Active Ageing Centre (Dover) (aka “KopiStop”) in the Dover neighbourhood.
Today, SJSM Village is one inter-generational village extending hospitality to all on its campus and in the Dover area.
"It takes a Village"
On August 24-27, 2024, Channel NewsAsia released “It Takes a Village”, a 4-part docuseries focusing on inter-generational relationships featuring six residents from SJSM Nursing Home and six preschoolers from Little Seeds Preschool (SJSM). Watch the episodes here again!

Christmas magic, sweet treats, and unforgettable moments ✨🍦🎄
On 15 December, 10 of our nursing home residents had the joy of experiencing a special outing to Orchard Road with their loved ones, staff, and volunteers. The trip started with a delicious Häagen-Dazs ice cream treat, followed by a leisurely stroll to admire the festive Christmas lights. The evening concluded with fun carnival games at the Christmas Village just outside the iconic Takashimaya.
Just in time, the rain cleared, giving way to a cool breeze and the perfect weather for a memorable evening! Wishing everyone a Christmas filled with warmth, love and joy. 🎄💛

“We don’t do it for the residents because they remember us, but we do it because we remember them.” ❤️
On 24 October, we had the privilege of celebrating and honoring more than 100 volunteers and befrienders who selflessly devote their time, love, and care to our nursing home residents every week. Their unwavering commitment truly makes a world of difference in the lives of those we serve.
This special occasion was made even more memorable by the lively performances of two talented residents (swipe to catch a snippet of them in their element!) and a heartfelt appreciation speech by Mrs. Mary Kwee. 🥰
To all our volunteers and befrienders, we are deeply grateful for the love and light you bring into the lives of our residents.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts! 💕
