Evergreen Eldercare Centre - or you can call us the EEC- started as a family run home centre in a single storey bungalow nestled in a quiet residential area of Taman Johor. We have now moved to a new home with plans for an upcoming garden along with benches, winding paths and raised gardening beds. Physical exercise, even a short walk will do so much to aid our residents with dementia.

The best prescription for avoiding apathy and memory decline may be a familiar one — exercise. In fact exercise can actually increase brain volume. 避免冷漠和记忆力下降的最佳处方-活动.
