Providing specialised care for your loved ones
What is Dementia Day Care?
Dementia day care is a service that is based at the day centres for seniors. It provides specialised care for individuals with cognitive or memory-related conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. We provide a supportive and secure environment for those living with dementia, allowing them to enjoy meaningful activities, socialise with peers, and receive assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs).
What we offer
Our goal is to foster understanding and communication, and manage behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia, such as anxiety and mood changes. Ultimately, we encourage and equip our dementia clients to live purposeful and fulfilling lives.
Here are some of the services we offer with Dementia Care:
- Reminiscence therapy
- Music therapy such as playing musical instruments
- Physical activities to encourage movement and train coordination
- Mind-stimulating games such as BINGO, memory games, “Spot The Difference”
- Inter-generational activities
- Karaoke sessions
- Art and colouring therapy
THOR®
Therapy Through Occupational Roles
Designed for persons with mild dementia, NTUC Health's THOR® (Therapy Through Occupational Roles) programme aims to empower its clients through work-like activities within the centre, such as watering plants, co-leading group activities, simple cleaning of surfaces, and more. By contributing to these everyday tasks, participants have a sense of purpose and dignity, while maintaining their cognitive and physical functions.
PEACE
Personalised and Enriching Activities to Care for Enhanced dementia
Our PEACE (Personalised and Enriching Activities to Care for Enhanced dementia) programme is designed for persons with moderate to severe dementia, where participants can look forward to being in touch with their various senses through different activities. These enriching activities help provide a calming effect and a sense of safety, over time enabling them to better engage in other purposeful roles, routines and activities in their daily lives.
As your loved one participates in these activities, their enhanced well-being, communication skills and comfort will make a difference in your life as a caregiver too. Rest assured that your loved one will be in good hands throughout the day.
