Apex Harmony Lodge is home to 210 residents living with dementia. That means researchers from Singapore's leading universities choose to partner with us not because we conduct academic research, but because without access to a community like ours, their research simply cannot happen.

We are proud of that role. Enabling rigorous, ethically approved research is a genuine contribution to the field — and it keeps our care practice connected to the best available evidence.

What the Lodge does

• Provides access to our environment and residents for ethically approved research studies
• Implements evidence-based international programmes with fidelity and care
• Shares operational learning through practitioner resources and site visits
• Supports university partners as a research-enabling site

What the Lodge doesn't claim to do

• We do not conduct independent academic research
• We do not publish original peer-reviewed findings as a primary institution

In a field where overclaiming is common, we believe honesty about what we know — and what we are still learning — is itself a form of leadership.

Our residents, our environment, and operational experience since 1999 make the Lodge a valued site for dementia research across Singapore and the region. We welcome partnerships with universities and research institutions whose work aligns with our values — particularly studies that have the potential to directly improve care outcomes for people living with dementia.

Partnership Principles

Every study conducted at the Lodge must have full ethics board approval. Participation by residents and families is always voluntary and fully informed. We do not accept partnerships that conflict with resident dignity or wellbeing, regardless of academic prestige.

For Researchers

If you are a researcher interested in conducting ethically approved work at the Lodge, we welcome enquiries. We ask that proposed studies have direct relevance to dementia care practice and that research teams commit to sharing findings with our clinical staff.
