Last Friday we were delighted to have a group of college students visiting us to learn more about our work and discover how they can better support their communities. This is how we make changes, one person at a time . Thank you for caring . Together we can build our bridges and tear down the walls

They say a picture paints a thousand words, and these moments from our Christmas party speak volumes. Our center remains a place where division and "us versus them" mentalities do not exist. It is a sacred space where we honor every individual as uniquely precious. May we continue to build bridges. Wishing you all festive joy and peace

Meaningful activities are those that add value and purpose to a person’s life, rather than simply ticking a box or displaying a rigid schedule on a board.
In this case, we’re working with a group of women whose identities as homemakers—and especially as cooks—have always been central in their lives. Preparing food, offering nourishment, and bringing joy through meals are deeply meaningful to them.
So we asked them what they wanted to cook, helped them list the ingredients, went shopping together, and then prepared the meal side by side. These are truly meaningful activities—ones that naturally engage multiple parts of the brain that are therapeutic.
This is what our care model is based on. Contact us to find out more.

We don’t need elaborate research to understand how intergenerational connection can heal us. These photos tell the story on their own. When the children came to perform with us today, something beautiful happened — the connection was instant and effortless. They didn’t see memory loss or language struggles; they simply saw another human. In their presence, we found ourselves sharing moments of pure, unexpected joy.

Perhaps the children are showing us what we often forget — how to live fully in the moment, how to meet and accept one another.

Our Centre's model totally embraces this, to always put the person first. Contact us for more details.

For too long, traditional approaches to dementia awareness have fallen short of truly touching hearts and changing lives. So, we decided to go outside the box.This marks the beginning of our “Outside the Box” projects, born from a deep desire to bring understanding, empathy, and connection to the dementia journey.
We call it “Urut-Urut: The Carepartnering Journey – The Malaysian Experience.” It’s a celebration of care, culture, and compassion.
We are excited to launch in on 5 December 25, and invite you to join in this exploration of changing the dementia narrative.
Please join us in our quest to change the dementia care culture. See you soon.

They had arranged for a priest to come and pray for him. The moment he saw the priest in his cassock, holding a cross, he began to shout uncontrollably. His relatives were shocked but assumed it was just part of the dementia.

Later, when I sat with him in a quiet moment, he shared that he had been sexually abused by a Catholic priest when he was an altar boy. He said he had tried to tell his parents, but they hadn’t believed him.

That conversation stayed with me. It reminded me how deeply past trauma can linger — how it can resurface unexpectedly, even decades later, even through the fog of dementia. When we take the time to listen and understand, we become better care partners. Join our upcoming webinar to get tips on how to better navigate through the dementia caregiving journey
