How much does it really cost to care for someone living with dementia in Singapore? Behind each diagnosis is a caregiver juggling time, work, and finances – often at significant personal cost.
Developed in partnership with Dementia Singapore, The Financial and Daily Realities of Dementia Care in Singapore report reveals the true costs of dementia care, how caregivers manage their responsibilities, and where support systems can better meet their needs.
Based on survey responses from 260 active caregivers in Singapore, the study explores the balance between care, work, and financial stability – uncovering the direct, indirect, and emotional costs of caregiving in one of Asia’s fastest-ageing societies.
