Siri Jayanti Metta Care Centre

About this facility

Siri Jayanti Metta Care Centre — locally known as Metta Home — is a welfare-oriented old folks home run by Pertubuhan Kebajikan Siri Jayanti (Siri Jayanti Welfare Organisation), a Buddhist charity founded in 1991. The home is located at 2 Jalan Perusahaan Satu, in the Kawasan Perusahaan PKNS industrial estate near Setapak, Kuala Lumpur — though some records list it under a Selangor postcode given the estate's administrative boundary. The facility relocated from Ampang to its current site in 2004 and has around 20 beds, based on the organisation's own published figures. It operates entirely on public donations, with no commercial fee model.

Metta Home's primary mission is to shelter neglected and low-income elderly who have no family support. The organisation explicitly states it accepts residents regardless of race, creed, or religion, despite its Buddhist character — a practical inclusivity uncommon in faith-based homes. The SJWO runs broader welfare programmes (food aid, education support, charity events) that give the home an active volunteer and donor network, which translates into periodic external support — charity visits, food donations, and fundraising drives that supplement day-to-day operations. The care model is basic residential support: shelter, meals, and companionship rather than clinical nursing.

Families should understand that Metta Home is a charity home, not a licensed nursing facility in the clinical sense. With roughly 20 residents and donation-dependent funding, staffing and facilities are modest. It is best suited for seniors who are relatively mobile and need supported living rather than complex nursing care. Families considering this home should visit in person, ask about the current resident-to-caregiver ratio, and understand what happens if a resident's health declines and clinical nursing becomes necessary. Admission is likely means-tested and subject to availability — contact the SJWO sub-committee directly to enquire.
