The Home was set up by Singapore Chee Hoon Kog Moral Promotion Society in 1986 as a community service to look after the aged sick in Singapore. The original Home was declared opened on 11 September 1988.

The original Moral Home For The Aged Sick Limited was a renovated old Community Centre. Because of its structural and building constraints, it could only take in26 residents. From the day of its opening, the Home was filled to its maximum capacity.

The first-phase of this new home was completed on 17th July 1994 and only male residents were admitted. The second-phase was completed in October 1995, adding the necessary facilities to admit female residents. The project cost was about $8 million.
