26 October 2026 – One Aged Care (“OAC”), a senior healthcare services group established earlier this year, today announced the acquisition of Active Global Caregivers (“Active Global”), a provider of professional home and community-based care services in Singapore and Hong Kong. The acquisition expands OAC’s capabilities through broadening the range of care solutions available to seniors and their families.
One Aged Care was established in March 2026 by leading global alternative asset management firm TPG. It brings together three established businesses, ECON Healthcare, Orange Valley Nursing Homes and Ambulance Medical Service (AMS), under a unified holding structure. OAC aims to build a regional care platform that provides a unified continuum of care to meet the evolving needs of an ageing population.
Active Global’s home and community care capabilities complement OAC’s existing services across nursing homes, senior day care, rehabilitation, emergency medical support and transport. The addition strengthens OAC’s continuum of care, providing more connected care for the seniors, families, and the communities it serves.
Richard Seow, Chairman of One Aged Care said, “The acquisition of Active Global advances our vision of building a truly regional healthcare platform that supports seniors and their families with a broader range of care options. Active Global brings valuable experience in home and community care, and we look forward to working with its team to build on the trusted services it provides. With TPG’s support, we will continue to invest thoughtfully in quality, accessibility and continuity of care across Singapore, Hong Kong and the broader region.”
Ms. Ong Hui Ming, Group CEO of One Aged Care said: “At One Aged Care, our purpose is to advance the quality of care and truly honour life. We are building a regional platform that brings together the most trusted brands with deep expertise to support seniors at every stage of their journey, and Active Global strengthens an important part of this care continuum. Their expertise in home and community care perfectly complements our existing capabilities across residential nursing care, rehabilitation and medical transport, enabling us to provide a more seamless, connected experience, where our seniors receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.”
Steven Chiu, Group CEO of Active Global said, “Joining One Aged Care is a natural and exciting next step for Active Global. Our mission has always been to make professional home care accessible and affordable. As part of the OAC group, we will have additional resources to strengthen our services while remaining focused on the people who rely on us. We look forward to continuing to support the seniors we currently serve and to extending quality care to more people over time.”
Since its establishment in March, One Aged Care has begun bringing together the strengths and capabilities of its businesses around a shared commitment to quality care. Today, OAC is one of the region’s largest senior care platforms, with 15 nursing home facilities and more than 2,400 beds across Singapore and Malaysia. It also operates a fleet of more than 50 ambulances and medical transport vehicles and has collectively served more than 220,000 seniors across its portfolio brands.
Preparations are underway to open four additional nursing homes in the year ahead, increasing total capacity to more than 3,800 beds. Beyond expanding capacity, OAC will continue to strengthen capabilities across the care continuum, leveraging expertise and shared capabilities across its platform to innovate and enhance its models of care and service. As OAC grows, its focus remains on building a strong and sustainable aged care platform that can respond to the evolving needs of the ageing populations.
“Demand for healthcare services and long-term care is growing, and we are considering how best to expand our capabilities responsibly,” added Ms. Ong Hui Ming. “With One Aged Care, we have a greater opportunity to advance care excellence, innovate and shape the next chapter of integrated care. Ultimately, we want to make better care and a fuller life an everyday reality for seniors, supporting their dignity, purpose and wellbeing as they age.”
One Aged Care is preparing for an exciting year ahead. Three new nursing homes are planned to open in 2027: Orange Valley Nursing Home – Anchorvale, Orange Valley Nursing Home – Bidadari and ECON Care Residence, Jurong East.
Our care and operations teams have been visiting the sites and reviewing mock-up spaces. These visits allow our teams to experience the environments first-hand and consider how each space can support residents, families and care staff.
The layout of a care environment shapes residents’ daily experiences. A well-planned space can support comfort, dignity and meaningful engagement. By involving our teams early, we can also consider practical needs and prepare for future operations.
Alongside the site reviews, we have begun our operational readiness journey with the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC). This early collaboration helps our teams align plans and prepare for the homes’ opening.
We value the partnership with AIC and the MOHH Infrastructure Team. Their collaboration supports our work to prepare the new homes for operations.
As the three homes take shape, we look forward to becoming part of their surrounding communities. We aim to build strong relationships with residents, families, community partners and neighbours.
Our goal is to create welcoming environments where seniors can live with dignity, comfort and a good quality of life. We also want to foster a sense of belonging and connection within each community.
The preparations mark an important step in One Aged Care’s growth. As we work towards the planned openings in 2027, we remain focused on creating care environments that support seniors and their families.
In August 2026, colleagues, residents and seniors across One Aged Care came together to celebrate Singapore’s 61st National Day, sharing in the spirit of togetherness, community and national pride.
For many of the seniors in our care and communities, Singapore’s journey is closely intertwined with their own. Their memories and experiences reflect the country’s growth and transformation over the decades, offering valuable reminders of the people and stories that have helped shape the Singapore we know today.
National Day also provides an opportunity to celebrate the importance of belonging and connection. Across One Aged Care’s care communities, we remain committed to creating meaningful opportunities for seniors to connect with others, participate in shared experiences and maintain a sense of belonging in the communities they call home.
As we reflect on the celebrations, we are reminded that a strong community is built through shared experiences, meaningful relationships and care for one another. These values continue to guide us in supporting seniors to live with dignity, purpose and connection throughout the year.
Majulah Singapura!
25 August 2026 – One Aged Care Senior Advisor and ECON Healthcare Founder Mr Ong Chu Poh was featured in Lianhe Zaobao in a report examining the operational challenges facing Singapore’s nursing home sector, particularly smaller operators navigating rising regulatory requirements and resource constraints.
Drawing on his experience in the aged care sector, Mr Ong shared perspectives on the factors that contribute to the sustainability of nursing home operations, including management capabilities, operational models and the effective use of resources.
Mr Ong founded ECON Healthcare in 1987, starting with 17 beds and five employees. Over the years, the organisation grew into an established aged care provider operating in Singapore and Malaysia. His experience reflects the importance of having a clear operating philosophy and the management capabilities to support the delivery of care as an organisation grows.
In the article, Mr Ong noted that larger operators generally have greater resources to support day-to-day operations and meet regulatory requirements. He also highlighted the potential advantages of smaller nursing homes, including their more homelike environments and closer relationships between residents and care teams.
He suggested that smaller operators could explore ways to strengthen their operations, such as upgrading facilities, adopting more distinctive service approaches and collaborating on procurement to manage costs. Maintaining clinical standards while preserving the personal connections that make care meaningful remains important across different operating models.
The feature highlights the varied challenges facing nursing home operators in Singapore and the importance of sustainable operating models in supporting quality care for seniors.

ECON Healthcare celebrated International Nurses’ Day in 2026 with its nursing and care teams across its centres in Puchong and Taman Perling, Malaysia, recognising the dedication and contributions of those who play an important role in caring for residents and supporting their families.
The celebrations provided an opportunity to appreciate the compassion, professionalism and resilience demonstrated by our nursing and care teams in their daily work. From attending to residents’ care needs to providing reassurance, companionship and emotional support, their contributions help make a meaningful difference in residents’ everyday lives.
At One Aged Care, we believe that quality care goes beyond clinical expertise. It is also reflected in the patience, empathy and personal attention shown to each resident. These everyday interactions help residents feel valued, respected and supported, while giving families greater confidence in the care their loved ones receive.
Delivering quality care is also a collective effort. While nurses and care teams are at the forefront of supporting residents, the contributions of colleagues across other functions are equally important in maintaining safe, nurturing and supportive care environments. Every team plays a part in creating a positive experience for residents and their families.
As One Aged Care continues to grow across the region, our people remain central to our shared purpose of advancing the health and quality of life of seniors and their families. Recognising occasions such as International Nurses’ Day is an important reminder to appreciate the people behind the care and the difference they make every day.
We remain committed to supporting our nursing and care teams, fostering a culture of appreciation and working together to deliver care that truly matters.
Colleagues from ECON Healthcare and Orange Valley Nursing Homes came together at One Aged Care’s Care & Service Transformation Retreat to explore opportunities to strengthen care delivery and improve experiences and outcomes for seniors and their families.
Bringing together perspectives from across disciplines, the retreat provided an opportunity to take a more holistic view of care and consider how different aspects of support can work together to meet the evolving needs of seniors. Discussions spanned clinical care and rehabilitation, psychosocial well-being, meaningful engagement and social connection — recognising that each plays an important role in supporting overall quality of life.
Quality care extends beyond clinical outcomes. It is also about helping seniors maintain their function and independence, remain connected to the people and activities that matter to them, and experience dignity, purpose and a sense of belonging. By considering these different dimensions of care together, we can continue to explore ways to make care more personalised, meaningful and responsive to individual needs.
As One Aged Care continues to grow, the combined capabilities, experience and expertise across our organisation present opportunities to strengthen collaboration across disciplines and care settings. Through shared learning and the exchange of ideas, our teams can identify opportunities to better connect services, refine existing approaches and explore new ways of supporting seniors and their families.
Care and service transformation is an ongoing journey. It requires continuous learning, a willingness to challenge established practices and a commitment to translating ideas into meaningful improvements in everyday care.
Through initiatives such as this retreat, One Aged Care continues to bring colleagues together around a shared ambition: to deliver more connected, holistic and person-centred care, with the well-being and quality of life of seniors and their families at the heart of what we do.
One Aged Care welcomed a delegation from the Québec Association of Residences for Seniors (RQRA) during their study mission to Singapore for an exchange of perspectives on the evolving aged care landscape in Singapore and Québec.
The visit provided an opportunity to reflect on how aged care providers across different markets can support seniors in living with dignity, independence and a better quality of life, while learning from one another’s experiences and approaches to care.
At One Aged Care, we believe that people are at the heart of aged care. Beyond clinical care, meaningful engagement, social connection and genuine human relationships play an important role in helping residents feel valued, respected and at home. Creating these experiences requires an understanding of seniors’ individual needs and the things that contribute to their sense of belonging and well-being.
Engagements such as this offer valuable opportunities to exchange ideas, gain fresh perspectives and consider how care can continue to evolve in response to the needs of seniors and their families. Through continued dialogue and cross-border learning, aged care providers can strengthen their collective understanding of what meaningful, person-centred care looks like in practice.
As care needs grow more complex, how can aged care systems expand while keeping care personal and compassionate?
This question shaped the recent Ageing Asia panel, “Global Blueprint for the Next Decade of Care: Can We Scale Compassion?” One Aged Care Group CEO Ms Ong Hui Ming shared her perspectives on the future of care. She also reflected on how caring for her grandmother shaped her understanding of seniors and their caregivers.
Drawing from her personal caregiving experience, Ms Ong highlighted the importance of listening to seniors and their families.
“With each interaction and conversation we share with our seniors and their families, we learn more about what truly matters to them. This takes time, presence, and a hearing heart,” shared Ms Ong.
Her reflection reinforces an important principle. Meaningful care begins with understanding each person. It takes time to build trust, listen to individual needs and recognise what matters most to each senior.
As One Aged Care grows, we must ensure that our systems and culture continue to support personalised care. Strong processes and operational capabilities help our teams deliver care consistently. However, these systems should strengthen human connection, not replace it.
This means looking beyond clinical needs. We must also consider how our services support seniors’ independence, emotional well-being and social connections. By taking a holistic approach, we can create more meaningful care experiences for seniors and their families.
Relationships and trust are not simply outcomes of care. They form its foundation. This principle guides how we design our services, shape our care environments and empower our teams.
Ultimately, scaling care is not just about reaching more people. It is about ensuring that every person continues to feel valued, respected and supported.
At One Aged Care, we remain committed to keeping care deeply human as we grow and innovate. Our focus remains on delivering care that truly matters to seniors and their families.
Colleagues from Ambulance Medical Services (AMS), ECON Healthcare and Orange Valley Nursing Homes came together for One Aged Care’s inaugural townhall. The gathering marked an important milestone as we began shaping our shared future.
During the townhall, Group CEO Ms Ong Hui Ming shared her vision for One Aged Care. She highlighted the importance of a strong culture of care, shared purpose and unified values. She also reaffirmed our commitment to creating a workplace where colleagues feel valued, supported and empowered to grow.
Our vision extends beyond our organisation. We aim to build a trusted and compassionate community of care with our partners, residents, seniors and their families.
At One Aged Care, we are united by our purpose of caring for life and bringing care that truly matters. We believe that care begins with people caring for people. Across the care continuum, we strive to advance the health and quality of life of seniors and their families.
The townhall also gave colleagues from the three brands a chance to connect and build new relationships. Through group activities and shared moments of laughter, our teams strengthened their bonds and developed a greater sense of belonging.
The inaugural townhall marked the beginning of a shared journey. As we move forward, we will continue building a connected organisation grounded in common values and purpose.
With our people at the heart of everything we do, we look forward to shaping the future of care together.
