Pusat Jagaan Teduhan Zafrah (Warga Emas & OKU) LELAKI

About this facility

Pusat Jagaan Teduhan Zafrah is a private care home in Taman Desa Sepayung, Muar, specialising in care for elderly men (Warga Emas) and male persons with disabilities (OKU). Founded on 9 September 2013 and run by a husband-and-wife team — Pn. Nurfarah and En. Ariffin — the facility was built on a personal mission to care for seniors and disabled residents as one would care for family. The male-only admission policy (reflected in the full name, which includes "LELAKI") means the home is purpose-structured for that cohort, allowing a focused care environment.

Teduhan Zafrah operates under dual oversight by JKM and the Ministry of Health, and nursing staff are registered with Lembaga Juruawat Malaysia. The facility offers geriatric and palliative care alongside daily structured programmes: religious classes, group health exercises, physiotherapy and rehabilitation sessions, and vocational training activities. The holistic model addresses physical, mental, emotional, and social needs in a single setting. Pricing starts from RM1,300 per month for residential care, with a RM200 registration fee and day-care options from RM100 per day; final fees are set after an individual needs assessment. The home partly supplements operating costs through public donations and grants from Baitulmal and JKM.

Given the facility's community-driven funding model and modest resident numbers (recorded at more than ten), prospective families should confirm current capacity and vacancy at the time of enquiry. The primary contacts are Pn. Nurfarah (019-685 5649) and En. Ariffin (013-311 9462). Questions worth raising include the current number of residents, the scope of palliative care available for end-of-life situations, and the process for managing residents whose medical needs escalate beyond what the home can support.
