Frequently Asked Questions

1. Services

Every client is personally supported by a Care Manager. Someone who's here to make the care journey smoother for both you and your elderly loved one.

They help build and coordinate a personalised Care Plan, from matching you with the right caregiver to sorting out any issues that may arise.

They also offer ongoing support to families, with updates, advice, and a listening ear when things get tough.

Think of your Care Manager as your go-to person, quietly working behind the scenes to ensure everything runs with care and compassion.

It's helpful to know the difference between types of care:

A maid or domestic helper focuses on general household tasks.
A professional caregiver is trained to support daily personal care, mobility, and basic medical needs.
A nurse is medically trained to handle clinical care such as wound dressing, giving injections, administering medication, and monitoring health vitals.

When you visit us, we'll take a moment to chat and carry out a brief pre-assessment. This helps us to recommend the most suitable residence based on your loved one's needs and your family's preferences.

If your loved one is still independent and prefers to live an active lifestyle with some support when needed, we recommend our Independent Living senior care option at:

Komune Care in Bandar Tun Razak, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur
Tanjung Point Residences in Tanjung Tokong, Penang

Both offer flexible living with care available on standby, so they can enjoy freedom and peace of mind.

Your loved one's safety is always our top priority.

6. Care Concierge

Care Concierge began in 2017, sparked by a personal experience. After struggling to find suitable elderly care for his grandmother following a stroke, our founder, Martin Yap, realised that many families in Malaysia faced the same challenges.

He wasn't alone in wanting better solutions. A group of like-minded individuals from various industries, including healthcare, tech, and business, came together with a shared mission: to help families navigate the complexities of Finding The Right Senior Living Solutions for their loved ones across our various services.

Joining Martin at the helm in 2018, Co-founder Justin Yap drives innovative care solutions beyond conventional rehabilitation, continually exploring cutting-edge approaches to empower seniors to age comfortably at home.

Together, we set out to build more compassionate, flexible, and accessible elder care services for seniors and their families. One that puts dignity, choice, and connection at the heart of everything.
