Namaste Care is a therapeutic care approach suitable for persons living with moderate to advanced dementia. At the Lodge, Namaste Care has been adopted for residents in the Supported Living and Tender Loving Care Homes. This programme supports our residents in meeting their sensory and emotional aspirations through the loving provision of personalized and sensory stimulating activities within a tranquil environment. Our residents have benefitted immensely from Namaste Care. Some instances include reduced rejection of care, improved mood, appetite, and engagement.

We are proud to have worked with the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) in producing a Namaste Care training video to empower professional caregivers and caregivers in the community to adopt Namaste Care. In doing so, we hope that more PWDs can benefit from Namaste Care.

Mdm Ang Sew Chu is one such resident who has benefitted from Namaste Care at the Lodge. Prior to receiving Namaste Care, she was less alert and responsive but that changed soon after. Read here to find out her story.
