About MS Care
A different kind of dementia care, designed for Singapore families.
MS Care exists for one reason: too many seniors and people living with dementia in Singapore spend their days under-stimulated, isolated, or simply watching television. We believe better days are possible — delivered in a warm, non-clinical space at Enabling Village, nested within MS Academy.
What we stand for
Three things shape every session.
Active, not passive.
Every hour at MS Care has a purpose. There is no “sit and watch” — only structured, therapist-designed engagement built around what each participant can still do, and what brings them joy.
Evidence-led.
Our integrated approach draws on humanistic and person-centred care, resource-oriented (strengths-based) practice, and music therapy — methods grounded in research for supporting cognition, mood, and quality of life in dementia and beyond.
Familiar & consistent.
Small group sizes (typically 4–6), the same therapists week after week, and content shaped by old Singapore — old Hokkien tunes, local foods, hawker memories, Pioneer-generation milestones. Familiarity is therapy.
How we're different
Built for engagement, not just supervision.
Multilingual by design.
Our team runs sessions in English, Mandarin, Hokkien, Cantonese, and Malay. We adapt music, reminiscence prompts, and conversation to whatever language your loved one feels most at home in.
A real one-to-one orientation.
Before joining a group, every participant has a structured one-to-one session with us. We learn what they love, what calms them, what their family wants us to know. The first group session is never a cold start.
Open communication with families.
You hear from us regularly — not just at the end of a term. We share what we observed, what worked, what didn't, and what your loved one seemed to enjoy most. No surprises, no jargon.
Designed for caregivers too.
While your loved one is with us, you get something equally important: time. Time to rest, time to work, time to be a spouse or a child instead of a full-time carer.
Our standards
What you can expect, every time.
Small groups
4–6 participants per session — never a crowd.
Qualified leads
Sessions are led by trained activity, music, or art therapists.
Consistent staff
The same faces, week after week. Trust takes time.
Person-centred plans
Every participant has an individual engagement profile.
Safe environment
Quiet, calm, dementia-friendly spaces — no fluorescent glare or overwhelming noise.
Transparent fees
Clear pricing up front. We'll help you understand any subsidies you may qualify for.
The team
People who'll know your loved one by name.
MS Care brings together activity therapists, music therapists, and trained dementia caregivers — all dedicated to one thing: making sure every person who walks through our doors has a genuinely good day.
