A Disabled-Friendly Malaysia

Bruce Bromley – Equal Access Consultants, February 19, 2010 MALAYSIA passed the Persons with Disabilities Act (PWDA) in 2008 as part of its

• bligations under the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN

Convention). According to the PWDA, those persons with disabilities shall have equal access to the following in Malaysia:

• public facilities, amenities, services and buildings;
• public transport;
• education;
• employment;
• information, communication and technology;
• cultural life;
• recreation, leisure and sport.

Malaysia also amended the Uniform Building Bylaws in 1990, making it compulsory for buildings to provide Access and facilities for disabled persons. Existing buildings were given three years to make modifications to comply with the bylaw.

ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS FOR THE ELDERLY

• EXTENDED FAMILY VS NUCLEAR FAMILY
• MULTIGENERATIONAL LIVING
• INDEPENDENT LIVING + HOMECARE SERVICES
• RETIREMENT LIVING
• ASSISTED LIVING
• AGED CARE

EXTENDED FAMILY OPTIONS

• Most people prefer to stay in their own homes (But does the home allow

this? Universal Design would facilitate this option!)

• Multi-generational living - Maintain the family home - Children and their

Families stay on (if the home is large enough!)

• Home care services can be delivered if required
• The elderly can still feel & be useful within the family and benefit from

stimulating interaction with family

• Isolation can be a problem if the elderly are left alone for large parts of the

day

• Assisted living and nursing care support is not be available from

untrained live-in housekeepers but trained housekeeper / carers is an emerging option (versus a live-in nurse which is expensive)

INDEPENDENT & ASSISTED LIVING OPTIONS – HOMECARE SERVICES

• AUSTRALIA - Local councils arrange care services for

qualifying seniors as well as the disabled under the new National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

• Similar Outreach Care Services are becoming available in

major cities in Malaysia.

RETIREMENT VILLAGES vs AGED CARE RETIREMENT VILLAGES These have been hugely popular in the USA and Australia. Traditionally they have attracted the baby-boomer generation aged 55 to 75 who are still able to live independently and enjoy the facilities. Retirement villages are a matter of CHOICE. Not INTENDED for the elderly who are already in advanced age or require assistance with daily living. Retirement Villages have yet to take off in Malaysia. Pilot projects exist – Eden-on-the-Park, Kuching & Green Acres, Ipoh.

RETRIEMENT VILLAGES vs AGED CARE AGED CARE Aged Care living is not a matter of CHOICE, but usually of NECESSITY. Aged Care provides continuous care for residents requiring significant assistance with daily living and activities. Dementia Care is a rapidly growing category of Assisted Living. Sheltered Homes, usually charitable or clan society based, cater for a small number of residents who are mainly able to live unassisted but are not classified as nursing homes. QUALITY AGED CARE DEVELOPMENT HAS NOW TAKEN OFF IN MALAYSIA DUE TO NEED AND A LACK OF APPROPRIATE FACILITIES.

“The unprecedented demand for high quality, ‘ageing-in-place’ services in the Melbourne inner-city area is behind the refurbishment at Coppin Centre. Level 3 at Coppin Centre now features 18 residential aged care suites, providing options for residents to live in apartment-style rooms. Each suite is well appointed with a kitchenette and lounge area, many with captivating city skyline views. A communal formal lounge, dining rooms and library spaces will take full advantage of the inner-city location with stunning views, while giving residents the opportunity to engage with others or pursue their interests. The refurbishment offers individuals or couples the ability to transition into residential care with hotel-style amenities and services.”

Veritas Architects Australia in collaboration with Freemasons Homes designed the Coppin Suites to create a hybrid assisted living model of accommodation which provides full aged care support in an independent living environment.
