Since 1999, Apex Harmony Lodge (AHL) has been, and still is, a home away from home for our residents with dementia. We have stayed true to the core belief that each PWD is a gift to us, and deserves to enjoy a positive quality of life. What initially began as a purpose-built home for persons with dementia is now a community committed to empowering lives affected by dementia. We strive to reframe dementia as a unique phase of life worth celebrating, building a visionary ecosystem in which PWD can thrive through reabling of PWD and working with caregivers to master caregiving. At the Lodge, this means creating a resort-like experience for residents at all stages of dementia. Able seniors experience an assisted vacationing lifestyle, while residents at later stages of dementia enjoy love and comfort through Namaste care principles. Aimed at wellness and wellbeing, integrated activities incorporating continuous learning, creative expression and intergenerational bonding will enable the Lodge to serve as a learning center for youths and children alike. We believe persons with dementia should have equal access to lifestyle activities and continuous learning if they so desire. We aim to bring together like-minded partners to provide therapeutic engagement, harnessing […]

API Care and Counselling is the professional counselling and community service arm of the Asian Pastoral Institute (API). It seeks to provide wholistic care for individuals, corporates and the community through its counselling and corporate services, workshops and talks, and community engagement. Led by a multidisciplinary team of senior counsellors, psychologists and social workers, our blend of skills serves to wholistically address personal mental health, relationships and family issues. Singapore’s community is religiously-diverse, with some 80% claiming affiliation to a religious faith. To meet such diverse needs, the team offers both faith-based counselling as well as evidence-based clinical counselling. Each Christan counsellor, psychologist, or social worker is capable of spanning the secular and spiritual spaces to integrate the spiritual, religious, and ethical values of the client in the counselling process. Together as a team, API Care and Counselling offers workshops, talks, and employee assistance plans to meet the complex needs of individuals, corporates and the community.
