AS Singapore's population ages, nursing homes face the challenge of delivering higher quality care in a tight labour market. Nursing homes hence need to embrace technology, while not losing sight of the importance of the human touch and community support, said Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam on Wednesday.
Mr Tharman, who is also chairman of the National Productivity Council, was speaking during his visit to Ling Kwang Home for Senior Citizens. The nursing home uses technology in its day-to-day operations to boost productivity and improve the quality of healthcare services for its residents.
