Fei Yue Retirees Centre has embarked on organising more dementia-care
3
related activities. This project conducted on every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday
and Friday at Chua Chu Kang Fei Yue Retirees Centre.
These programmes include:
1. Arm Chair Travelling provides a sensory experience and opportunityto
learn about exotic lands and important past events in a meaningful manner
to help them increase imagination and help them develop their creativity, 4
focus, attention and visualisation. A travel experience is conducted, with
mini passports for the participants to travel to various destinations at the
convenience of where they are.
2. Art Therapy is a beneficial practice for those suffering from degenerative 5
diseases like dementia. Using their own expressions and creations, the
artworks helped to reconstruct memories and also a tool for them to
reconnect with their feelings.
3. Digital Reminiscence helps recall past events using all the five senses.This 6
can range from simple conversations, using digital apps or slides, and props
like dough mixed with salt grains to help members recollect memories.
4. Music Therapy sees the therapists work with individuals or groups through
music, using musical expression to evoke memories, feelings, and sensations. 7
Many Alzheimer’s patients, even in advanced stages, can still remember
lyrics and sing songs long after they’ve stopped recognising names and
faces. There’s also growing evidence that listening to music can also help
stimulate seemingly lost memories and even help maintain some cognitive
functioning.

Caregiver support for an elderly couple 6
An elderly couple was referred to CCMS for emotional support and counselling.
Prior to this, the couple had visited numerous social workers and concerned
community partners over the years due to their spousal conflicts. The elderly
lady had chronic health conditions and personality disorder-associated anxiety.
She had many pent-up frustrations from the past and she was constantly

critical of her husband.
There was an incident when the husband could not bear her complaints and
slapped her, escalating to a family violence situation. Initially, the elderly
husband rejected CCMS and was furious with the Case Manager for flagging up 8
his case as family violence.
A breakthrough occurred after an extensive period of rapport building and
engagement. The elderly couple was persuaded to hire a domestic helper.
The competent care of the domestic helper had greatly reduced the couple’s
conflict, and the case was closed. The elderly husband was grateful for the
Case Manager’s assistance.

We hope to expand ILP to different schools or organisations such as:
• Workplace ILP at companies – this will help to foster better cohesiveness
among younger employees and older employees in the company.
• Collaborating with international schools in Singapore to have an exposure for
our local seniors to other cultures and people living together in Singapore.
• Partnering with childcare centres to promote intergenerational bonding
among the much younger children and seniors or even their grandparents.

one another. All SGH seniors who meet the eligibility criteria are referred to us by
AIC.

Outreach & Networking efforts
To raise awareness of SGH and its services to vulnerable seniors, we connected
