Welcome to Awareness Of Dementia

Prologue

Having afflicted with dementia, these clients have to face constant insecurities and hardships in the course of their life journey. Life has never been just for these victims. Imagine putting yourself in the shoes of these people. How scary will it turn out to be when your memory gradually begins to deteriorate, rendering you to be absent-minded.

The general stereotype of these dementia sufferers is that they are mentally-retarded and abnormal in the eyes of the public, and it is quite disheartening. Some family members neglect the condition of these patients by claiming that forgetfulness is part and parcel of old age which is untrue. The saddest part is when these family members do not acknowledge these sufferers by hiding their condition away from the public in fear of being humiliated.

The world that we live in has never been perfect. No matter how sorrowful their fate turns out to be, these sufferers strive to lead a normal life just like any other human. This is made possible when society plays a role in showing care and concern to these people. Yong-en care centre was set up in Singapore to address this ageing issue faced by many elderly today.

Share Your Love Among These Dementia Patients

You can make a difference to their lives today! Be a part of Yong-en by volunteering to help out in its services. Check out this link for more information about Yong-en’s services - http://sarah.mavenm.com/?page_id=5

In addition you can also contribute to Yong-En by offering monetary donations which can be in a monthly, or a one-time contribution.

Yong-en also welcomes people to organise community service projects that directly or indirectly benefit these dementia clients. You could write a project proposal to us first for a potential collaboration with Yong-en.

Lastly, Yong-en also liaises with institutions for school students to be given the opportunity to take part in community service work organised by Yong-en. You should check out your respective institutions pertaining to this issue.
