Kanaan Home (ICM Aged Care)
Kota Kinabalu (Putatan), Sabah
Putatan-based aged care home with explicit dementia-specific, assisted living, independent living, respite, and day care formats. Operated by Integrated Care Management (ICM), an AgeCOPE Sabah member established 2017.
About
Kanaan Home is the Putatan-based aged care home operated by Integrated Care Management Sdn Bhd (ICM), one of Sabah’s AgeCOPE members. ICM also runs a Labuan Aged Care Centre and has a separate ICM business office at 377 Jalan Likas 1 in central KK. The operator describes its care formats explicitly: dementia-specific, assisted living, independent living, respite, and day care - more granular than most Sabah operators publish.
Care & services
Five care formats: dementia-specific care, assisted living, independent living, respite stays, and day care. Standard package includes physiotherapy, daily meals and snacks, social and physical activities, and regular wellness updates for family members - the latter is a useful feature for families with parents in Sabah but adult children working in KL or Singapore. Two enquiry contacts: Kent Chau (home enquiry, 019-8811030) and Chelphine Chung (management enquiry, 013-8519266).
What families should know
The ICM dual-state footprint (Sabah + Labuan) is unusual - useful for families with parents who may relocate between Sabah and Labuan or want to compare options across the two. AgeCOPE membership at the operator level provides JKM-verification trust signal in a state where zero operators hold MOH licences.
Location
Kg. Sendil, Petagas, Jalan Putatan, 88200 Putatan, Sabah - established residential corridor approximately 15 minutes from Kota Kinabalu International Airport and 20 minutes from central KK.

How we determined this licensing status
AgeCOPE Sabah member confirmed at agecope.org.my (membership requires JKM registration verification). Company registration: 201701039375 (1253546-K). Sabah has zero MOH-licensed private nursing homes statewide per the Ministry of Health register (19 Mar 2026).
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.
