S01.Ep.01. Fong Muntoh. Caregiving: Facts, Misconceptions and Ways Forward (Remastered)

Caregiving is a tough but critical profession, with millions of people laboring--but usually a "labor of love"--at this important work each and every day around the world. Some are paid and some are unpaid but all of them play a critical role in taking care of those who need help caring for themselves, often the elderly and disabled.

The population of many countries is aging rapidly and few countries have taken enough concrete steps to address a myriad of issues including low/no pay and long hours for caregivers, a lack of national and international standards for the profession of caregiving, the lack of supply of qualified caregiving, and for many families, the high cost an unanticipated complexity of hiring an at-home caregiver. 

In this episode, Dr. Lim (founder Jasper Lodge, one of Malaysia's leading assisted living companies), and Andrew Mastrandonas, (co-founder of Pillar Health, a leading home care company), discuss the challenges of caregiving.

Our guest for his episode is  Mr. Muntoh Fong, an internationally-recognized expert in aged care.  Muntoh is Malaysia first registered national industry expert in elderly care centre operations under the Ministry of Human Resources. He has over 20 years of experience in managing and consulting with elderly care centres and home care companies. He brings both a broad and unique perspective to this important issue. He's seen it all and you'll soon know why!

Please listen and let us know what you think!
