Survey

We contacted 6 different care center & nursing home, and they are:

Orange Valley

  • Total 57 Respondents (Nurses):

a) 41 looking after dementia patients

b) 16 looking after general patients

  • Orange Valley: 5 Storeys High

a) 2 levels are for dementia patient

b) 3 levels are for general patient (other illness and slight dementia patient)

  • Day time 8-9 nurses for 50-60 patients

  • Night time 3-4 nurses

Survey

We came out with 4 survey questions:

What are some problems or difficulties you encounter with these patients?

Do the patients with dementia have any regular or fixed daily routine? If possible, please list their typical routine.

Is there any thing or system, which if available, would be helpful to you in your work with these patients?

In their routine or activities, what are some of the areas that they need help with?

So why do we choose elderly?

Due to aging population increase over the years...

"The size of this group of citizens doubled from 220,000 in 2000 to 440,000 in 2015 and is expected to increase to 900,000 by 2030"

"In 2012, about 28,000 people in Singapore aged 60 and older had dementia and the number is expected rise to 80,000 by 2030"

"Dementia-specific training for maids, stronger financial support and better wages for home care professionals are needed to ensure that dementia patients here are properly cared."
