Caregiver burnout in eldercare is not one issue. It is a compound problem created by emotional demand, physical strain, fragmented admin, communication gaps, and financial pressure. Local evidence is especially clear on three pain points. First, caregivers are stretched: family caregivers commonly have long weekly caregiving hours, and many have their own poor health or depressive symptoms. Second, helpers carry a large share of physical care but often report training and language barriers. Third, even where support exists, take-up is uneven: only 5% of family caregivers in one Duke-NUS policy brief had attended caregiver training, only 38% were aware of the training grant, and among older caregivers only about half were aware of respite services while more than 80% had never used them. The current system is improving, but still feels fragmented in practice. AIC provides caregiver resources, training and self-care guidance; MOH funds grants such as the Home Caregiving Grant and Caregivers Training Grant; and subsidised respite supported more than 14,600 caregivers of seniors in 2025. Yet National Council of Social Service reports that some caregivers still spend 91 to 168 hours a week caregiving, and calls for stronger, more integrated support. That gap between “services exist” and “care feels manageable” is where your product should sit.
