“With a significant majority choosing to give up their jobs to become full or even part-time caregivers due to cost constraints, it is imperative that we come together to try and alleviate the financial and emotional stress that these family members face amid managing their loved ones’ health,” said Evy Wee, head of financial planning and personal investing, DBS Bank.

“Numerous studies have shown that compared to many other diseases, caregivers and family members of dementia patients face higher levels of stress and burnout. We’ve thus taken a very intentional approach when developing this policy to provide crucial caregiver benefits, in addition to coverage for care recipients, which we hope will offer some respite for caregivers and complement ongoing efforts towards building a dementia-inclusive Singapore.”
