Namaste Care is a gentle, person-centred approach that helps seniors — especially those with dementia — feel calm, respected, and connected. Rooted in compassion and dignity, it uses familiar elements like soothing music, gentle touch, favourite scents, and meaningful activities to bring joy and reduce agitation.
Families and caregivers in Singapore have found that Namaste Care not only improves seniors’ well-being but also strengthens bonds between generations.
