Safe, comfortable and free, just like home
JCCPA is acutely aware of the lifestyle needs of people with dementia. Knowing that most are not good at expressing themselves and tend to feel unsettled in different environments, JCCPA designs dementia-friendly environment thoughtfully. People with dementia are often wandering around, so JCCPA has installed card access and double passcode security system at all entrances to minimise the risk of people in our care getting lost. Our goal is to create a safe and comfortable environment where people with dementia feel like they are home.

By using multiple levels of leave-bed sensor system, such as ground sensors, weight sensors under the bed and infrared motion sensors on the ceiling, our staff can monitor when members get out of their beds and provide assistance accordingly. This obviates the need to restrain residents for their own safety.
