✓ AgeCOPE Member About
Kinta Care Centre occupies the ground and first floors of KMC Medical Centre (formerly Kinta Medical Centre) on Jalan Chung Thye Phin, central Ipoh. The hospital-attached model means acute escalation happens in the same building - a meaningful differentiator for residents with complex or unstable medical conditions. The centre is supervised by Dr Thomas Arul, a GP with over 40 years of practice, and operates daily morning medical rounds. The centre is an AgeCOPE member, with JKM registration independently verified.
Care & services
Residential nursing care and day care (8am-6pm). Daily medical rounds at 9am. Room configurations: non-AC shared ward, non-AC 2-bed room, AC 2-bed, AC 3-bed, and premium rooms. The range of room types produces a wide pricing spread, making the centre accessible to families at multiple budget levels.
What families should know
Pricing is by the day rather than a fixed monthly fee, which is uncommon in Malaysia:
- Non-AC shared: RM 40/day (14+ days) or RM 55/day (shorter stays)
- Non-AC 2-bed: RM 60-70/day
- AC 2-bed: RM 75-90/day
- AC 3-bed: RM 60-75/day
- Premium: RM 150/day
- Day care (non-AC shared): RM 80/day
The per-day model suits short-term recovery stays. For long-term residents, confirm monthly equivalent rates directly.
Location
Jalan Chung Thye Phin, central Ipoh - close to Ipoh Town Hall and approximately 10 minutes from Ipoh’s main hospital cluster.

How we determined this licensing status
JKM-registered per the national JKM Pusat Jagaan Warga Emas registry (data.gov.my state data, May 2026). AgeCOPE member - confirmed via agecope.org.my/membership-directory/ (Perak directory).
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.
