The Alzheimer’s Disease Association (ADA) was formed in 1990 as a result of growing concern for the needs of people with dementia and their families. It is a registered charity and a member of the National Council of Social Service, an umbrella body for the non-profit social service organizations in Singapore.
The mission of ADA is to provide quality care for people with dementia and caregivers, promote research and programmes for dementia prevention.
Over the past 16 years ADA has expanded its services to include:
|

Caregiver Support Service: A Helpline provides information and referral and counseling service; Caregiver Support Groups are conducted in 3 languages (English, Mandarin and Malay); Caregiver Training sessions are organised for family caregivers and domestic helpers in English, Mandarin and Malay.
