Lions Home for the Elders is proud to be among the first nursing homes in Singapore to introduce MetaPets—a groundbreaking therapeutic innovation designed to bring joy, comfort, and companionship to our residents.
On 2 December 2025, our staff underwent a dedicated training session to learn how to care for MetaPets and seamlessly integrate them into residents’ daily routines.

📍 With their lifelike touch and responsiveness, MetaPets provide the same sense of warmth and companionship as living pets.
📍 They help reduce stress and anxiety, offering emotional support to seniors who may feel isolated.
📍 Unlike real pets, MetaPets are safe, hygienic, and easy to maintain, eliminating concerns such as allergies, bites, or infections.
Dr. Mark Barnabas Lee, Project Consultant at EBA Machinery Services Pte Ltd, shared:
“Studies show that up to 77% of seniors experience some form of stress or anxiety. Social engagement and companionship are proven to ease these feelings. When such interactions are limited, AI-enabled lifelike MetaPets can play a vital role in supporting residents—without the risks that come with real animals.”
At Lions Home, we are delighted to welcome MetaPets as part of our ongoing commitment to technological innovation and enhancing eldercare. They join our suite of advanced solutions designed to meet future challenges while enriching the lives of our residents.
And yes—get ready for plenty of cuteness and smiles around Lions Home, because the MetaPets are here to stay!
