About this facility
Selangor King George V Silver Jubilee Fund (SKGV) is one of Malaysia's oldest charitable care homes, established in 1937 in Pudu, Kuala Lumpur, to shelter destitute Chinese women who had migrated from China in the 1930s and found themselves sleeping on five-foot-ways. More than 85 years on, it remains rooted in the same mission: providing a home for elderly women aged 65 and above who are homeless, have no surviving dependents, and are broadly capable of self-care. The facility, registered with social welfare authorities under W/PJB WT 001/2017, sits at 3052 Jalan Jubilee, Pudu, and is run with a lean staff supplemented heavily by public donations and volunteer groups.
SKGV accommodates around 60 residents according to Google listing data. Care sits at the independent-to-low-dependency end of the spectrum — residents can largely look after themselves, with the home providing meals, shelter, and a community. Documented activities include vegetable gardening, daily Qigong exercise sessions, and regular visits from volunteer groups who conduct free health screenings and basic medical check-ups. Operational funding is donation-driven, covering groceries, medical aids, and consumables. The facility received a visit from the Prime Minister in February 2022, indicating some degree of public recognition.
Families looking at SKGV need to understand this is fundamentally a charitable refuge for women without family support — it is unlikely to accept residents who have family networks or who require nursing-level medical care, catheter management, dementia supervision, or specialist intervention. No private or semi-private pricing structure has been published. The contact person on record is Ms Fannie Poon (010-280 3380; office: 03-9223 4891). Ask directly about admission criteria, what medical care is available on-site versus referred out, and whether places are available given the modest published capacity.
