Here are some answers to frequently asked questions regarding dementia recovery.

My loved one has just been released from hospital after undergoing surgery following a stroke. Where can I get help to care for my loved one?

Home Care

Our Home Care services can help your loved one to recover comfortably in their home, through a range of services like supporting them with their daily living activities, or improving their mobility through therapy.

Nursing Home

You can also choose to enrol your loved one in our nursing home for a short term stay. The stay will include stroke rehabilitation exercises to help them get stronger before they go home.

Senior Day Care

We also provide day rehabilitation for seniors who require therapy.
What interim caregiver services do you provide for stroke patients?

Our caregiving services are tailored to your loved one’s needs.

If your loved one requires help with their daily activities, our interim caregiver services will include Home Personal Care.

If your loved one needs help with recovering after being discharged from the hospital, our services may include Home Nursing instead.

Do contact us here to find out what kind of interim caregiver services your loved one needs the most.
Do you provide Mandarin/ Malay/ Tamil/ dialect speaking care staff?

We do have care staff who are conversant in different languages, and your loved one will be able to communicate freely and comfortably with our staff.

However, we may not always have the right match of dialect speaking staff available.

In that case, our staff may approach family members or the caregiver to support certain sessions.
What kind of exercises are good to build strength and mobility for stroke patients?

The stroke rehabilitation exercises will have to be tailored to the needs of your loved one. This regime will include strengthening and motor retraining, which improve the movement coordination and control, postural, and balance of your loved one.

For professional assistance, do get in touch with our Senior Day Care, Nursing Home or Home Care Services staff. Our staff are trained to guide seniors through safe and moderate exercises.
My loved one has just been discharged from hospital after undergoing surgery following a stroke. Will day rehabilitation help in his/her condition?

Yes, your loved one can attend rehabilitation at our Senior Day Care to improve their functional mobility and manage their pain. We have stroke rehabilitation exercises conducted by professionals to help them with their stroke recovery.
Is your Day Rehabilitation full day or hourly based?

Our Day Rehabilitation and Wellness centres provide session-based rehabilitation that includes Physiotherapy/ Occupational therapy for up to 60 minutes. The type of therapy provided will be based on your loved one’ needs.
My loved one had a mild stroke, what are the day care options available?

We provide a range of opportunities for your loved one to regain mobility and strength at NTUC Health.

Our Day Centres for Seniors conduct Day Rehabilitation programmes for seniors.

This includes physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy. Our fun and engaging programmes will also keep your loved one socially and mentally active during the day. All these activities will be able to improve his or her stroke recovery process.

Home Care Services at NTUC Health will also help to keep your senior well taken care of during the day, and our Home Therapy services could aid in the stroke recovery of your loved one.
What subsidies are available?

Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents may be eligible for government subsidies and financial assistance, depending on the monthly household income per person, amongst other criteria.

The amount of subsidy will be determined through the National Means Testing System (NMTS). You can also apply for the Seniors’ Mobility and Enabling Fund (SMF) if your senior requires assistance with moving around.

For further queries, please call 67156762.
My loved one is not eligible for subsidies - can you still provide care for them?

Yes, regardless of subsidies, we will still provide stroke recovery care for loved ones that have been medically assessed to be suitable for all our services.

However, this is still subjected to space availability. Do contact us here to assess your loved one’s eligibility.
Can you train my domestic helper to help with a stroke patient?

No, we no longer provide caregiving training for domestic helpers.
