Question 1

How do I know which type of care my parent needs?

Accepted Answer

Start with our free assessments — Barthel Index for daily living, MMSE for cognition, GDS for emotional wellbeing. Combined results give a clear baseline. From there, our Senior Care Managers can recommend the appropriate level of support.

Question 2

What's the typical cost range for senior care in Malaysia?

Accepted Answer

It varies widely. Daycare centers run RM 1,500–3,500/month, nursing homes RM 2,500–8,000/month, live-in home care RM 3,500–6,000/month, and ALU/premium residences RM 6,000–18,000/month. Government-supported facilities can be free or heavily subsidised based on means-testing.

Question 3

How do I evaluate a nursing home before moving my parent in?

Accepted Answer

Visit unannounced if possible. Check staff-to-resident ratios, RN availability, meal quality, hygiene, smell, and how residents engage with staff. Ask for references from current families and review the Standard Operating Procedures and emergency protocols.
