Dementia Care

Understanding Dementia

Dementia can be overwhelming, not only for the people who have it but also for their carers and families. 

At Orange Valley Nursing Homes, we understand the emotional, social and psychological challenges faced by those with dementia, as well as their loved ones who are caring for them. As a dementia care provider in Singapore, we aim to take the stress of caregiving off your shoulders by delivering the best possible care to your elderly loved ones grappling with dementia.

What is Dementia?

Dementia is a broad term used to describe a decline in cognitive functions such as memory, thinking, and behaviour that is severe enough to interfere with daily life.

Although it is more common among older adults, dementia is not a normal part of ageing. People living with dementia may find it difficult to manage everyday tasks, communicate effectively, or make decisions, and often need increasing levels of care and support.

At Orange Valley, we understand the emotional journey that comes with caring for someone living with dementia. As dementia in Singapore becomes increasingly common, we are here to offer families the reassurance and support they need. Whether you are exploring residential dementia care or home care for dementia patients, our dedicated team provides compassionate, individualised care for every stage of the condition. With warmth, respect, and understanding, we help each person live with dignity, comfort, and a sense of connection.

Signs and Symptoms of Dementia

The signs of dementia may begin subtly but gradually worsen over time. Recognising these early can help families seek timely care and support.

Common symptoms include:

  • Memory loss that affects daily activities (e.g., forgetting recent events or names)
  • Difficulty with communication, such as struggling to find words
  • Disorientation to time and place
  • Poor judgement and difficulty in decision-making
  • Mood and personality changes, including increased anxiety or agitation
  • Withdrawal from work or social activities


It’s important to remember that dementia affects everyone differently, and not all memory loss is a sign of the condition. If you or your loved one notice these changes, seeking early assessment and guidance from a trusted dementia care provider in Singapore can make a meaningful difference. With the right support, families can better understand the condition and help their loved ones maintain dignity, comfort, and quality of life.
