The demand for suitable care solutions for seniors has become more pressing as the Singapore population ages and familial dynamics change.

One son died in 2020. My husband, who died in 1981, was a civil servant. When my children were young, we lived in an attap house in Jalan Afifi at Paya Lebar.
I live with my domestic helper of 10 years in a three-bedroom apartment along Jervois Road, bought with my husband – an English film-maker – who suddenly died in 2011. It is full of memorabilia and furniture collected from living abroad over the years.
