Caregiving in Malaysia – a labour of love

Malaysia is set to be an ageing nation by 2030. The sobering reality is that by time, 15% of the Malaysian population is expected to be over the age of 60 years old. By 2056, Malaysia may be asuper-aged country.

As a working adult, it is likely you already have caregiving duties for loved ones at home or are beginning to be concerned about the welfare of your ageing parents. The COVID-19 pandemic has also further accelerated the demand for home-based caregiving services, especially when live-in caregivers are away or in the immediate post-hospitalisation period where more acute care is required. In general, families are also choosing to keep their elderly at home for their overall health and safety and also to avoid situations for further infection.

With increased pressure on caregivers to provide for their loved ones, many turn to external solutions for help.
