Reliable electrics in
a private nursing home
Singapore's first private healthcare facility
Providing Safe and Reliable Nursing Care for the Elderly
United Medicare Centre (UMC) is a leading provider of nursing home services located in Singapore. The Toa Payoh branch was officially opened in 2003 by the then Minister for Health of Singapore. Initiated by the Ministry of Health (MOH) to cater to Singapore's growing demand for quality nursing care, UMC (Toa Payoh) was established as Singapore's first purpose-built private nursing home.
Safe electrics for healthcare facilities
One critical aspect of nursing homes is electrical safety, given the dire consequences that power failure or electrical accidents can have on elderly residents. Therefore, UMC has taken significant steps to ensure the safety and reliability of its healthcare facilities.
To achieve this goal, Hager Singapore has worked alongside the panel builder, Mline Systems, to construct electrical control panels that meet the stringent safety requirements of the nursing home.
A range of high-quality electrical products from Hager was selected, including miniature circuit Bbeakers, residual current circuit breakers, time switches, and contactors. Hager's technical support team worked closely with Mline Systems to ensure that all the modular devices were installed correctly and programmed accurately.
Catering to the growing demand for elder care
The use of Hager products has been instrumental in enhancing electrical safety in the United Medicare Centre, ultimately promoting the safety and well-being of the community and staff. By leveraging the high-quality electrical solutions provided by Hager, UMC can focus on providing excellent care to the elderly and fulfilling its mission of providing safe and reliable nursing care services to the elderly community in Singapore.
This collaboration has resulted in safer and more reliable healthcare facilities that cater to the unique needs of the elderly community. As Singapore's population continues to age, the importance of safe and reliable nursing care services cannot be overstated, and Hager's commitment to providing high-quality electrical solutions is a crucial factor in ensuring the well-being of elderly residents in nursing homes like UMC.
