Tan duplicated his 4H model in Malaysia three years ago. The facility is an 80-bed aged care facility providing 24 residential care including dementia specific care. The key difference from the Australian model are that it has mostly multi-bedded rooms to make it affordable, as there is no government subsidy. It is also designed to cater for the different cultural and religious needs of the multiracial residents. Like David Lane, Tan believes Australia can draw on its experience in aged care to help meet the needs of the aging Asian populations. However, care has to be affordable and cultural and religious differences need to be respected. “Aged care is more than just bed and breakfast, it’s about treating people like family members,” says Tan.
