Why she returned to Melaka

After gaining hospital and community experience, Chia Chia returned to her hometown — she kept seeing older adults delay rehabilitation simply because of transport difficulty, limited awareness, or not wanting to be a burden on their family.

Her approach starts with listening: what's become difficult at home, what matters most to the patient, and how the family can realistically help.
