Aenon Health Care had its beginnings as a professional medical farm at Bukit Rambai, Malacca more than five years ago before it moved up north to a site in Bukit Batu, Tampin, Negri Sembilan in 2011. The former venue is now a retirement villa known as Aenon Retirement Villa which provides permanent lodging for the elderly and upon request, budget tourists looking forward to spend less than five days' holidays in Malacca. The villa grows exotic fruits such as longans, passionfruits, jackfruits and red bananas for domestic consumptions.

In Tampin, Aenon Health Care provides higher quality health treatment for patients and tourists looking up to five, ten or twenty days' holidays in Malaysia for intensive medical care treatments. It is situated on a peak which allows guests to admire the beautiful countryside scenery of Malacca.

Aenon Health Care is the only long-term medical care treatment and lodging provider in Tampin. Its lodging, accommodation and service quality is on par with the five-star hotels of Malacca. It has rooms that can accommodate up to a family of five guests. It also sells quality top-nutritious health food such as organic flaxseeds, barleys, Peru-originated quinoas and other organic health food not available for commercial sale in Singapore on Sunday mornings, Mondays to Fridays. It does not sell any products or services to anyone on Sabbath, the seventh-day of the week as God rests from labour on the seventh-day after six days of creating the world.

Aenon Health Care  now contributes to the overall medical tourism and hospitality industrial development of Negri Sembilan. Tourists can arrive at Tampin Railway Station from Singapore directly by KTM Railway and travel in Aenon's shuttle-transport service free-of-charge on the day of check-in. Bookings must be submitted to Aenon in advance by email or by fax.
