NTUC Health has launched an eight-week programme that uses objects, picture kits and an app from the National Heritage Board, covering life in Singapore from the 1950s to 1980s, to help seniors with mild to moderate dementia recall memories and talk with others. A pilot with 25 clients at four of its day care centres found that 72% kept positive moods and became more expressive, and the programme will run at five centres by 2027, with plans to reach all 27 NTUC Health day care centres in about three years.
