SINGAPORE: Caring for someone with dementia costs S$24,000 (US$18,490) per year after government subsidies, with nearly 9 in 10 caregivers polled believing that more can be done to support them, a new study found on Tuesday (Oct 14).
The study, which was commissioned by social service agency Dementia Singapore and carried out by research firm Pureprofile, also found that government schemes have helped reduce the cost of dementia care by about 36 per cent, with more support given to those caring for severe cases of dementia.
