MOH’s decision to revoke LC Nursing Home’s licence came after a series of audits that uncovered persistent non-compliance with requirements under the Act.<\/p>\n
Audits conducted in November and December 2025 had already identified serious lapses.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“LC Nursing Home was then given the opportunity to remediate these non-compliances, with MOH enforcing stricter and closer monitoring before assessing if further regulatory action was necessary,” the ministry said on Jun 29.<\/p>\n
However, a further audit in April 2026 found that the nursing home had failed to fully implement corrective measures or sustain earlier improvements. Investigators also uncovered new and repeated breaches. The lapses included failures to adhere to wound care protocols and food hygiene practices, as well as poorly maintained infrastructure and environment.<\/p>\n
A notice of intended revocation was issued on Jun 2 and the operator had 14 days to respond.<\/p>\n
In its reply, LC Nursing Home acknowledged the findings and did not dispute the non-compliances.<\/p>\n
“While LC Nursing Home assured MOH that they would take remedial actions to address the findings, the plan provided by LC Nursing Home was very brief, without clear milestones set, and did not provide sufficient assurance,” the ministry said.<\/p>\n
After reviewing the response and audit findings, MOH concluded that the operator was unable to continue providing nursing home services safely.<\/p>\n
It is currently working to ensure that affected residents are transferred to suitable alternative homes ahead of the November deadline.<\/p>\n
MOH previously said that the decision to revoke the nursing homes’ licences of LC Nursing Home and Windsor Convalescent Home <\/span>was taken only after “careful assessment that they could not provide adequate nursing home services, and that resident well-being and safety had to be prioritised and safeguarded”.<\/p>\n “MOH will not hesitate to take regulatory actions if licensees and\/or key appointment holders are found to have fallen short of regulatory requirements to deliver safe, adequate and appropriate care,” it added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n PERSISTENT NON-COMPLIANCE MOH’s decision to revoke LC Nursing Home’s licence came after a series of audits that uncovered persistent non-compliance with requirements under the Act….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":67133,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dam.mediacorp.sg\/image\/upload\/s--q0BuDTxk--\/c_crop,h_900,w_1600,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,g_auto,h_676,w_1200\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1\/mediacorp\/cna\/image\/2026\/06\/29\/vlcsnap-2026-06-29-19h47m29s159.png?itok=xxa5jZeB","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[650,358,5668,3689,12387,2515,469,1615,6009,4777,3936],"class_list":["post-67132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-news-sg-global","tag-actions","tag-application","tag-ceo","tag-disciplinary","tag-disclose","tag-failed","tag-home","tag-investigating","tag-licence","tag-moh","tag-nursing","wpcat-2-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=67132"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67132\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/67133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=67132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=67132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=67132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
