Ju Eng 聚英, in Chinese means "a gathering of people with noble ideas". It was named by the late Elder, Mr Ang Oon Hue, BBM, who was the then-Chairman and Founder of the former Ju Eng Primary School.
It was in the 1940s that the late Elder Ang purchased some 2 acres of freehold land in Jalan Kayu to build the school. Eventually, he sought application for conversion of the school into a nursing home. Subsequently, he donated the 2-acre freehold land to the government to erect a modern full-service nursing home under the jurisdiction of Ministry Of Health (MOH).
Ju Eng Home for Senior Citizens (JEH) was officially opened on 28 September 1996 by Mr George Yeo, then-Minister for Health, accommodating 104 residents under its Phase I development. Due to the country's rapid ageing population and the surging need for elderly nursing care, a new five-storey building under Phase II was built and completed in September 2001. The two buildings now house a total of 334 residents.
The home has been granted charity status by the Commissioner of Charities. It is affiliated to the National Council of Social Services (NCSS) and licensed as a Nursing Home under The Private Hospitals and Medical Clinics Act 1980.
