45-bed Pasir Panjang nursing home to shut after licence revoked over serious lapses

A nursing home in Singapore has been ordered to close, after an audit by the Health Ministry found four "serious and systemic lapses". The 45-bed Windsor Convalescent Home in Pasir Panjang will lose its operating licence on Oct 30, after it was found to be lacking in resident care, medication management, infection control and governance. Until then, an interim team will care for the residents, while arrangements are made to transfer them to other homes. Alexandra Anand reports.
