Abstract: As a super-aged society by 2026, Singapore has proactively addressed the challenges of ageing through various national policies, such as Age Well SG, Healthier SG, Forward SG, and the Action Plan for Successful Ageing 2023. Integrated care remains a core principle of the country's health and social care system in Singapore. Globally, the introduction of the WHO Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) framework as one of the assessment tools enables the government, healthcare and social service providers, older adults, and caregivers to better understand the prevalence of intrinsic capacity among seniors and to develop appropriate care plans. This supports continued independence and ageing in place. Through examining the current implementation status of the ICOPE framework in Singapore, this article focuses on analyzing its challenges and development opportunities within the aged care sector, aiming to help other regions develop locally appropriate ICOPE implementation strategies.
