UMC Healthcare Centre
Simpang Ampat, Penang
Part of the UMediC Group healthcare network, this purpose-built care centre in Simpang Ampat offers long-term nursing care, post-operative recovery, and chronic disease management in a clinical setting on the mainland Penang corridor near Batu Kawan.
About
UMC Healthcare Centre is the residential and day care arm of UMediC Group, a Penang-based healthcare company. The facility occupies the ground, first, and second floors of Pusat Perniagaan Vorteks in Simpang Ampat - a commercial hub near the Batu Kawan development corridor in south Seberang Perai.
The centre combines nursing home care with post-acute rehabilitation, making it an option for families whose parent is transitioning from hospital or managing a chronic condition rather than needing straight long-term residential placement.
Care and services
Services include 24-hour nursing, assistance with daily living, physiotherapy and rehabilitation, vital signs monitoring, and medication management. Doctor visits are available. The UMediC group also offers home care for patients who prefer to stay in their own residence.
What families should know
Simpang Ampat is on the mainland side of Penang, roughly 20 km from Georgetown and close to the Penang Second Bridge. Proximity to Columbia Asia Bukit Mertajam and KPJ Penang Specialist Hospital (both within 15-20 min drive) makes this a reasonable choice for families managing complex medical needs. Operating hours for administrative enquiries are Monday to Friday, 8am - 5pm.
Location
Pusat Perniagaan Vorteks, Jalan Perniagaan Vorteks 3, sits just off the Juru-Simpang Ampat corridor - accessible from the North-South Expressway (Juru interchange) or via the Penang Second Bridge from the island. Bukit Mertajam town centre is 10 minutes away.

Licensing status can change — licences expire, transfer to new operators, or get renewed under a different legal entity. We cross-reference public sources to be as accurate as possible, but always ask to see the physical certificate during your tour. For JKM, ask for the Perakuan Pendaftaran Pusat Jagaan. For MOH, ask for the CKAPS approval letter.
Operators: email your certificate to hello@seniorlivingmalaysia.org and we will upgrade this listing to a Verified ✓ badge showing the certificate date. While you're at it — one line on cultural fit (halal kitchen, surau, Mandarin-speaking staff, dietary accommodations) helps the families who specifically search for that.
