The Lims were awarded the Silver Generation Ambassador Family Award at the event. Ms Lim, 21, a final-year nursing student at the Singapore Institute of Technology, said: “At work, I can see how much the elderly wish for someone to talk to them and how lonely it can be living at home for some.

Mr Ong said 60 more AACs have been added over the past year and, there are now 214. Singapore is on track to reach 220 AACs by 2025, which will serve around 80 per cent of the senior population here.
