Would a loved one with dementia or other cognitive challenges (eg difficulties in remembering things or making decisions) automatically qualify for ElderFund?

Updated by AIC

No, as such conditions affect people’s ability to carry out the six activities of daily living at different levels.

In order to qualify for ElderFund, your loved one still needs to undergo a disability assessment by a MOH-accredited severe disability assessor. The assessor will consider the impact of your loved one’s cognitive challenges as part of the assessment.
