iCare Life, in alignment with its social objective of
helping Singapore age in an effective way, became the first company to hold a
talk on “Effective Communication in Caregiving” organized by Agency For
Integrated Care (AIC), Singapore at Siglap East Resident Committee. The one
hour talk session was held on 7th May 2016.
This is first in the series of
talks which AIC has planned to organize country-wide, to promote about
Eldercare and the Caregivers Training Grant (CTG) in next one year.
iCare Life was excited to be the
first company approached by AIC for the session. The talk was conducted in both
English and Mandarin, focusing primarily on communication aspects.
During the interaction with
attendees various challenges in communicating with and understanding the Elders
were discussed. While highlighting the effects of miscommunication, some ways
of effective communication to develop quality relationship with Elders were
conveyed, along with useful practical tips.
The spontaneous and participative
audience included Chairman of Siglap East Resident Committee and Mayor of
South-East District, Dr Mohamad Maliki Bin Osman.
The talk ended in a positive note
with a Mothers’ Day buffet dinner for all residents who participated in the
talk.
AIC appreciated iCare Life
support and wished to continue the association for such future events.
