There are many Malaysians, regardless whether they are rich or poor, who suffer in silence because they cannot find trustworthy senior caregiving services when they badly need it. The cause is simple: There is a lack of care professionals to meet the demand of a rapidly ageing Malaysia. And we are not preparing ahead even though everyone knows very well that ageing is an inevitable process.

The key to meet this growing demand for care professionals is to develop an effective training and career pathway for young people. Through our “Teenagers Caregiving Initiatives”, a series of training initiatives offered by Masoc Care, we have come across many young and talented teens and youth who are keen to join the senior care industry by becoming professional caregivers.
