These serve as a ‘safe return’ point for the public to bring persons with dementia who may be lost.

 

There are 17 SMRT train stations and five bus interchanges that are Dementia Go-To Points (GTPs). GTPs are touch points within the community that serve as resource centres to provide information and useful resources on dementia and link those who need help with relevant dementia-related services.

It also serves as a ‘safe return’ point where members of the public can bring persons living with dementia who may appear lost for help. Trained SMRT staff will know how to help to contact their next-of-kin. This is part of the collaboration between SMRT and the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) under the Dementia-Friendly Singapore initiative.

The GTPs are the following:

1) Jurong

2) Yishun

3) Simei

4) Novena

5) Kent Ridge

6) Aljunied

7) Bugis

8) Kembangan
