My Place Convalescent Home (Ipoh)
Ipoh, Perak
One of Perak's longest-established nursing homes - founded 1984 and JKM-registered with 140-bed capacity. Nursing care, day care, and medication management in a garden setting off Jalan Gopeng, Ipoh.
About
My Place Convalescent Home is one of Perak’s most established private nursing homes - founded in 1984 by Mrs. Yap, it began as a small rented bungalow on Jalan Woodward in Ipoh and has grown into a 140-bed facility in Desa Kaya, off Jalan Gopeng. The facility is now part of the Swiftcare Integrated Group.
The setting is noteworthy: the home is surrounded by gardens, and gardening is woven into the activities programme. This is a practical option for families who want an established, large-capacity Ipoh centre with a long track record.
Care and services
Core services: 24-hour nursing care, assistance with daily living, medication management and supply. Day care is available for seniors living at home who need structured daytime supervision. Outsourced nursing (for patients wishing to stay at home with a nurse) is also offered.
Accommodation ranges from quad-sharing rooms to private singles. Meals, exercise programmes, and gardening activities are included.
The facility operates two Ipoh locations - Ipoh A (Desa Kaya) and Ipoh B. Contact the operator directly for current vacancy and location details.

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.
