As Singapore’s population gets older, health concerns have become something many of us are talking about. One of the more common issues we may come across is dementia, whether it affects a family member or someone we know. Dementia can vary in its severity, from mild to more serious, and can bring many challenges for both the person affected and their loved ones. This talk, organised by Kampong Kapor Methodist Church Outreach & Social Concerns Ministry and Kampong Kapor Community Services, is here to help us better understand what dementia is. There will also be a Q&A session for anyone who would like to learn more or ask any questions.
