Singapore’s aged care homes face routinised services and resource constraints, leading many elders to prefer ageing at home. Caregiver burnout and fragmented systems call for reforms. Experts propose integrated support and technology adoption to enhance aged care.
Phyllis Tan, our Head of Nursing, highlights Allium Care Suites’ person-centred household model, which nurtures close staff-resident connections supported by a multidisciplinary team. She emphasises wearables and robotics for timely interventions while preserving independence, and stresses robust discharge planning and ageing-in-place to maintain routines, reduce isolation, and enhance well-being.
