Few people are prepared for the responsibilities and tasks involved in caring for the aged.  With some foresight and awareness, much can be done to ease the burden of caregiving.  

Caregiving pulls individuals in multiple directions. While the work is one of love, the burden can be overwhelming. It can prove extremely difficult for caregivers to adjust to their caregiving role. In addition, caregivers are often overlooked as the needs of the patient take priority.


At CWA, we believe caregiving should not be an overwhelming task. With adequate support and awareness, we hope to reduce the burden that many caregivers shoulder alone and provide a respite from daily struggles.

As part of the Caregiving Welfare Association’s (CWA) expansion plan, CWA has set up its first Caregivers’ Sanctuary, a therapeutic place which will benefit caregivers and their families seeking respite and assistance.  The Sanctuary is located at One@KentRidge within the vicinity of the National University Hospital (NUH). 

Both caregivers and their families will be welcome to the Sanctuary whenever they feel they need a break or to seek support from our social workers.

What we hope to achieve and how you can help...


Caregiving can be challenging and it carries a high risk of stress and burn-out. CWA believes that with adequate caregiver support programmes, many caregivers will manage their stress better and deliver quality care to their elderly loved ones. The Caregivers’ Sanctuary will offer caregivers an avenue to seek support, guidance and respite from the stresses of their daily caregiving role.

The availability of funds would sustain the programmes and activities at the Caregivers’ Sanctuary and would enable CWA to help many more caregivers to continue with their caregiving roles. 

We would like to appeal for corporations and individuals to help us in our fund raising efforts to raise $50,000 annually to sustain our programme and services.  

1) Caregiver Support Group (fortnightly sessions conducted at the Sanctuary)
$300 can benefit 12 needy caregivers through one session.

2) Counselling and Case Management
$3,000 per month can help 50 needy caregivers/families to receive free counselling/case management services. 

3) Essential Support
$800 per month can provide 40 needy families with supermarket vouchers
$1,280 per month can provide 16 needy seniors with adult diapers 
$2,000 per month can provide 10 needy seniors with adult nutritional supplement milk powder
