"Age Well Neighbourhoods" to plug gap in senior services
The "Age Well Neighbourhoods" initiative is a significant step toward plugging gaps in senior services, starting with Toa Payoh.
Media release from Duke-NUS Medical School:
As Singapore prepares for a future where one in four citizens will be aged 65 or above by 2030, Assoc Prof Rahul Malhotra and Dr Jeremy Lim-Soh from the Duke-NUS Centre for Ageing Research and Education are looking at how neighbourhoods can better support ageing-in-place.
The "Age Well Neighbourhoods" initiative is a significant step toward plugging gaps in senior services, starting with Toa Payoh. However, effective support goes beyond infrastructure—it requires a shift toward "person-centric" care that respects the unique routines and aspirations of our seniors.
By integrating place-centric policies with a deeper understanding of individual needs, we can create communities where seniors don't just live, but truly thrive with dignity and purpose.
