Live Well, Age Well

Singapore's Live Well, Age Well Programme is jointly offered by the People's Association (PA) and Health Promotion Board (HPB) to empower adults aged 50 and above to remain mentally, physically and socially active. PA describes it as a community active-ageing programme with activities organised across six “Live” domains; it is not a cash payout, insurance scheme or substitute for clinical care (People's Association, Active Ageing, accessed 30 August 2026).

Six domains of participation

The six domains are Live Active, Live Enriched, Live Nourished, Live Assured, Live Happy and Live Prepared (People's Association, Active Ageing, accessed 30 August 2026). Live Active focuses on group exercise, including strength, balance and flexibility. Live Enriched covers knowledge and skills for maintaining physical, mental and functional health. Live Nourished promotes balanced eating with attention to nutrients such as protein and calcium. Live Assured encourages regular health screening and follow-up. Live Happy addresses mental and social wellbeing and social connection, while Live Prepared supports knowledge and skills for independence and fulfilment after retirement.

These domains are a programme map, not six separate statutory benefits. The PA source does not establish that every activity is available at every location or that participation guarantees a screening appointment, dietary service, medical treatment or retirement income. Current activity details should be checked with the relevant community venue or organiser.

Senior Citizens' Executive Committees

PA's Senior Citizens' Executive Committees (SCECs) are described as a seniors' network that organises activities to help seniors stay active, healthy and socially connected in the community. PA lists examples including gardening, singing, dancing, cooking, arts and crafts and fitness exercises, and says that SCECs also support interest groups formed by seniors for seniors (People's Association, Active Ageing, accessed 30 August 2026).

SCECs and Live Well, Age Well are related but not identical labels. SCECs describe the PA community network and its activities; Live Well, Age Well describes the joint PA–HPB programme and its six-domain framework. PA directs people seeking SCEC programme information to their nearest Community Club or Centre, so the specific activity, timetable and local contact may vary.

Relationship to other ageing support

Live Well, Age Well is an engagement and health-promotion pathway. It is not Age Well SG and should not be collapsed into an Age Well Neighbourhood, which are broader initiatives involving coordinated community care, health and built-environment measures. Nor should it be treated as the same as Neighbourhood Kakis, where PA describes residents aged 50 and above undertaking simple neighbourhood tasks for a token payment (People's Association, Active Ageing, accessed 30 August 2026; People's Association, Neighbourhood Kakis).

The programme can complement healthcare, screening, social-care and post-retirement planning, but the cited PA description does not set out clinical eligibility, means testing, a monetary entitlement or a universal service guarantee. A person needing diagnosis, treatment, financial support or formal care should use the responsible service rather than infer that the active-ageing programme provides it.
