Mental-Health Programme (The Mind-Able)

What is Mental Health Programme (The Mind-Able)?

Dementia is a chronic, progressive deterioration of mental function typified by loss of memory. It is prevalent and often overlooked among the elderly, especially in Singapore's ageing population. In 2005, there was 22 000 dementia elderly (65 years and above) and this number is projected to increase to 53 000 by 2020*.  

Clues to the presence of dementia may be subtle and nonspecific and unrecognised early dementia may tend to worsen over time. Hence, it is vital to have early intervention to slow the progress. Upon receiving a diagnosis of dementia, a life-changing transition will take place. 

Early intervention – including providing support and care to help them deal with the challenges of their diagnosis and to aspire them towards a meaningful and positive life. Caregivers would also be well-informed on how to cope and the type of help available to them. Hence, "The Mind- Able" is introduced to help the elderly at risk or diagnosed with mild dementia.
