Abstract

This project focuses on the various healthcare expenses borne by seniors in
Singapore. It digs deep to find out why and where exactly are these costs coming
from. Through research and interviews with academics, eldercare service providers
and seniors, the feature looks at different demographic characteristics of the senior
population in Singapore. Also included is a section which provides details of various
subsidies available to seniors as well as a challenge-solution guide to the latest
assistive devices being sold in Singapore.
