In their own words

Finding the right person to spend time with my father was harder than I expected — he's particular about conversation, and he can tell straight away if someone is just going through the motions. The companion Cedarkin assigned seems to genuinely enjoy talking with him. That matters more than I can express.

My mother has several specialist appointments each month and my brother and I both work full-time. The medical accompaniment service has removed an enormous amount of pressure. The notes we receive after each consultation are clear and genuinely useful — not just a list of medications.

We started with just the social visits because we weren't sure how much help we needed. After three months, we moved to the full program. The transition was straightforward and the care manager walked us through everything patiently. My grandmother seems more settled than she has been in years.

What stood out for me was the honesty of the initial conversation. They told us clearly what they could help with and where they would refer us to specialists. That kind of transparency made us trust them. We've been using the All-Inclusive program for six months now and we're glad we started when we did.

My father was reluctant at first — he didn't want to feel like he needed looking after. The companion that was matched with him respected that completely. They spend most of their time playing chess and talking about old films. It's done more for his mood than anything else we've tried.

We live abroad and couldn't be in Hsinchu as often as we needed. The care coordinator became our link to my mother's daily life. The monthly reviews are particularly helpful — they're structured but also honest, and we always come away knowing what's working and what needs attention.

A closer look at how care unfolds

CASE STUDY 01

Addressing Isolation After Retirement

Situation

A retired engineer in his mid-seventies was living alone after his wife's passing. His daughter noticed he was eating irregularly and had largely stopped reading, which had been a lifelong habit.

Approach

We matched him with a companion who shared an interest in history and technology. Visits began twice weekly with a focus on conversation and light reading activities. No pressure, no programme — just consistency.

Outcome

Within six weeks, his daughter noticed he was more communicative during family calls. He'd started reading again and mentioned the visits as something he looked forward to.

Duration: Ongoing · Program: Social Engagement Visits

CASE STUDY 02

Managing Post-Hospitalisation Recovery

Situation

An elderly woman in her early eighties had been discharged from hospital following a hip procedure. She had three children, all working, and a schedule of follow-up appointments across two different specialists.

Approach

We coordinated all follow-up appointments, managed transport, and attended consultations to take notes and relay relevant information to the family. Medical records were kept organised and accessible.

Outcome

The family described the post-hospitalisation period as significantly less stressful than expected. No appointments were missed, and the family felt genuinely informed at each stage of recovery.

Duration: 4 months · Program: Medical Appointment Management

CASE STUDY 03

Comprehensive Support for a Distant Family

Situation

A couple in their late seventies. Their only child was based in Singapore and visited quarterly. The parents were managing reasonably well, but the family wanted consistent oversight and reliable communication.

Approach

We enrolled them in the All-Inclusive Home Wellness Program. A dedicated care manager was assigned and a care plan was developed following a home assessment. Monthly reviews were scheduled to coincide with the son's visits where possible.

Outcome

Eighteen months in, the family reports that the arrangement has given them genuine peace of mind. Small concerns have been caught early through regular health observations — twice leading to timely medical referrals.
