How a Caregiver Agency in Singapore Provides Support for Dementia Care?
Singapore’s ageing population is experiencing a sharp rise in dementia cases. This trend places heavy pressure on families and healthcare providers who must ensure patients receive consistent, high-quality care.
The demand for trained caregivers is growing rapidly. Yet, the local manpower pool remains limited, and agencies struggle to scale their teams without affecting service standards. This is where a caregiver agency in Singapore plays a crucial role providing reliable, skilled, and compliant staff who are ready to support both agencies and families.
At Norstar Global Recruitment, we help bridge this gap by supplying trained caregivers equipped with the skills, cultural awareness, and compliance knowledge required to deliver professional dementia care.
Understanding Dementia and the Manpower Challenge
According to the Alzheimer’s Disease Association, 1 in 11 people aged 60 and above in Singapore may have dementia, and the numbers are expected to rise significantly. Dementia care requires more than just basic caregiving. Caregivers need:
- Specialised training in memory care and behavioural management
- Patience and empathy to handle communication difficulties
- The ability to maintain safety while preserving dignity
- Despite the urgent need, agencies face challenges such as:
- Shortage of qualified local caregivers
- High turnover rates
- Operational disruptions when manpower is unstable
Without external recruitment support, sustaining reliable dementia care becomes nearly impossible.
NGR’s Manpower Pipeline for Dementia Care
As a trusted Singapore caregiver agency, Norstar taps into a broad regional talent pool to help agencies scale with confidence.
- Regional Sourcing: With recruitment teams across Myanmar, Thailand, and other Asian countries, we identify caregivers who possess the right skills and cultural adaptability.
- Scalable Supply: Whether agencies need steady manpower or surge support during peak demand, our pipeline ensures they never compromise on care quality.
Compliance Assurance with MOM and MOH Standards
The caregiving sector in Singapore is highly regulated. Compliance with the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and the Ministry of Health (MOH) is mandatory.
Norstar ensures:
- All candidates meet MOM work pass requirements
- Caregivers align with MOH eldercare guidelines
- Recruitment processes follow ethical, transparent practices in line with international fair employment standards
This protects both caregivers and agencies from legal and reputational risks.
Specialised Dementia Training Before Placement
Dementia caregiving goes far beyond routine tasks. Caregivers must manage memory loss, confusion, and behavioural challenges while maintaining patient dignity.
To prepare them, Norstar partners with established training centres in Bangkok and the Philippines. Training includes:
- Dementia Care Best Practices: Handling difficult behaviours, building trust, and supporting daily routines
- Patient Safety & Emergency Response: Acting effectively in critical situations
- Cultural & Local Orientation: Adapting to Singapore’s healthcare standards and family expectations
By the time caregivers arrive in Singapore, they are not only certified but also fully work-ready, confident, competent, and compassionate.
Ensuring Operational Continuity for Agencies
Scalable Workforce Solutions
Caregiver agencies often face fluctuating demand, from sudden increases in patient numbers to the signing of new contracts. We provide scalable workforce solutions that allow agencies to expand their caregiver base quickly without compromising quality. This flexibility ensures they are always prepared to respond to growing needs in dementia care.
Rapid Replacements
Turnover is an inevitable challenge in the caregiving sector, but service interruptions can be especially disruptive for dementia patients who rely on routine and familiarity. We minimise these risks by offering rapid caregiver replacements, ensuring continuity of care and peace of mind for both agencies and families.
Long-Term Workforce Planning
Beyond immediate needs, agencies also benefit from long-term workforce stability. We work with partners to build strategies around retention, succession, and sustainable staffing. This forward-looking approach helps agencies avoid constant reactive hiring and instead focus on growing their services with confidence.
Partnership Value for Caregiver Agencies
Reduced Recruitment Overhead: We manage the end-to-end hiring process, freeing agencies to focus on delivering care instead of sourcing candidates.
Faster Time-to-Hire: Our streamlined placement system ensures manpower gaps are filled quickly with trained, compliant caregivers.
Service Differentiation: Agencies gain access to multilingual, culturally adaptable caregivers helping them serve diverse families and stand out in a competitive market.
Ethical Recruitment Assurance: Norstar upholds transparent and ethical recruitment that protects caregivers and employers. This strengthens the credibility and reputation of agencies we partner with.
