United Medicare Residence (Tampines West) is a 8 storey nursing home located along Tampines Street 96. It is seamlessly integrated into its surrounding estates, with a covered plaza and ground-floor thoroughfare which enhances connectivity and encourage public interaction. Thoughtfully designed to evoke a sense of belonging, safety, comfort, and care, the nursing home is dementia-friendly and fosters a home-like environment.
Its proximity to parks maximizes access to nature, reinforcing the theme of “bringing the garden in.” Elements such as garden fences, lamp posts, and nature-inspired graphics contribute to the theme, while large windows and openings frame views of the green spaces. The use of natural colors further enhances the cozy, welcoming and home-like environment.
