On Sunday 10 January 2010, we visited a Buddhist Nursing Home for the homeless (Kim Loo Ting Hong Ying Home 甘露亭宏愿之家) in Setapak, which is located at Lorong Air Putih, Off Jln Air Panas, 53200 Setapak Kuala Lumpur.
About 18 of us in 6 cars departed from Buddhist Maha Vihara at about 11:00am and reached the home at around 11:30am.
The home is located in the vicinity of the Good Shepherd Catholic Church. It consists of two houses, one house is used for religious activities and another as the old folks' quarter. The old folks stay at the second floor, with one room for men and another for women. There are a total of 25 beds. However, there were currently 18 stayed in the home, 7 of them were hospitalised due to illness. Most of the old folks are the homeless patients who were sent from the Government Hospitals. Some of them still need treatment from time to time and were sent back to the hospital when hospitalisation is required again.
We brought along some provisions such as rice, cooking oil, beehoon, milo, diapers, medicated oil and some medicines etc.

Some of us visited the old folks' quarter at second floor. All the floors were sparkling clean. The home employs only one salaried helper. Most of the cleaning is done by the healthy residents.
The residents are quite happy to stay at the home, which is well managed.
This uncle was cheerful to have children visiting him.
The home also offers frees medical consultation to the public every Sunday, which is provided by two doctors from Tung Shin Hospital who volunteered their services.
Welfare Section donated RM1,600 towards the bereavement fund set up by the home. After we have left the home, I received a call from Bro. Alex that one of the resident (Mdm Tan Ah Moi) had just passed away. May she have a good rebirth!
