(New) Connecting through reminiscing: Evaluating a dementia engagement programme in two day-care centres in Singapore using multimedia heritage resources

Objective

With mutual interests in alternative, non-pharmacological approaches towards dementia care, NHB is collaborating with GERI and KTPH to evaluate a dementia engagement programme (DEP) developed by NTUC Health. This DEP consists of conversational as well as interactional activities between professional caregivers and clients with dementia in a group setting that utilises heritage resources provided by NHB. 

The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of utilising heritage resources in a non-pharmacological care programme targeted at people with dementia in day care settings.​​
