Lance Alexander speaks with Steven Seah, Chairman, Lions Home , about person-centred dementia care and how understanding someone’s interests, routines and life story can help families and caregivers connect with them. Through examples from Lions Home, they explore ways to spend meaningful time together when conversation becomes difficult, support everyday independence and stay involved when a loved one moves into a nursing home. They also discuss how robotic companions such as MetaPets and Dexie are being used alongside human care, and how caregivers assess whether these tools suit each resident.
