Pusat Jagaan Warga Emas Nur Ehsan Tangkak

About this facility

Pusat Jagaan Warga Emas Nur Ehsan Tangkak is a welfare-model residential care home operated by Persatuan Kebajikan Nur Ehsan Negeri Johor, a charitable association founded in 2009 to provide shelter and care for abandoned elderly persons and individuals without family support. The Tangkak branch — located in Parit Bunga, Ledang District, near the Tangkak town cluster — is one of four Nur Ehsan homes spread across Johor, with the others in Johor Bahru (Kempas Baru), Bukit Indah, and Simpang Renggam. Collectively the four branches house approximately 167 residents comprising senior citizens alongside adults with physical and mental disabilities.

The Tangkak facility was the site of a 2024 clinical community programme by UiTM medical students that provided a useful snapshot of residents' clinical profile: all 21 elderly residents showed signs of frailty, six were assessed as high-risk for dementia, and residents ranged widely in their independence with daily activities. The programme introduced structured physical exercise, cognitive training, cooking sessions, and music therapy to supplement the home's existing programme of morning exercise and recreational outings. Regular health monitoring and physiotherapy are part of the standard care offer, and the home operates with 24-hour security and CCTV. The UiTM engagement also noted that limited staffing constrains the range of leisure activities that can be run on a day-to-day basis.

Because Nur Ehsan operates as a charity with no fixed resident fees, it functions primarily as a safety-net placement for elderly persons who lack family or financial resources — not as a fee-for-service nursing home. Families considering this route should contact the Johor association directly at 010-764 1379 or 07-232 6415 to understand the intake process and whether the Tangkak branch has capacity. It is also worth asking about medical referral arrangements for residents who require hospitalisation, the staff-to-resident ratio at the Tangkak site specifically, and whether residents with moderate dementia can be supported given the frailty profile of the current resident group.
