Caring for an ageing parent or a recovering patient at home often means bringing in professional help. Home nursing in Singapore covers everything from registered nurses handling wound care, tube feeding and post-hospital recovery to caregivers who assist with daily living, dementia support and companionship. This guide rounds up ten established, currently-operating providers, spanning app-based on-demand visits, subsidised charities and live-in caregiver specialists, so you can match the right kind of care to your family's needs.

1. Homage

Homage is a technology-enabled care platform that dispatches trained caregivers and nurses to the home for everything from help with daily activities to wound care, tube feeding and post-hospital nursing. The company states its nurses are enrolled or registered nurses holding a valid Singapore Nursing Board practising certificate, and it supports dementia, stroke, Parkinson's and palliative needs. Care is booked as flexible hourly visits or round-the-clock two-shift cover rather than as a live-in placement, and is managed through its app.

2. Home Nursing Foundation (HNF)

Founded in 1976, Home Nursing Foundation is a Ministry of Health-accredited charity delivering home nursing, home medical, home therapy and social support islandwide, and it states it can assess eligibility for government subsidies directly. Its nurses work alongside affiliated GPs, therapists and medical social workers on regular home visits covering wound care, chronic-condition monitoring and rehabilitation. It is a mainstay for subsidised, needs-assessed home care rather than private on-demand booking.

3. NTUC Health

NTUC Health is one of Singapore's larger home care providers, offering home personal care (help with showering, toileting and daily activities, plus caregiver respite), home nursing for specialised and post-hospital needs, and home therapy such as physiotherapy and occupational or speech therapy. It also runs home medical consultations and disability assessments that, it notes, can support applications for schemes like CareShield Life and the Home Caregiving Grant. The multi-service range suits families wanting nursing, personal care and rehabilitation from a single organisation.

4. Jaga-Me

Jaga-Me, a member of Alliance Healthcare Group, brings both personal-care caregivers and nurses into the home, handling activities of daily living as well as clinical procedures such as tube feeding, wound dressing, catheter care and injections. It also arranges medical escort to appointments and supports palliative and dementia care, positioning itself for more complex, post-surgical and post-discharge nursing at home. Visits are booked as needed rather than as live-in arrangements.

5. TOUCH Home Care

TOUCH Home Care, part of the charity TOUCH Community Services, provides home medical and nursing visits by doctors and nurses for less-mobile seniors with stable chronic conditions, along with home personal care and home therapy. Services are means-tested for subsidy and, per the organisation, are offered to seniors living near its care centres in estates such as Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Yishun, Toa Payoh, Jurong and Boon Lay. It is geared toward homebound older adults who find it hard to travel for appointments.

6. Active Global Specialised Caregivers

Active Global focuses on live-in and part-time caregivers for the home, and states that it places carers with nursing or hospital backgrounds who receive additional home-care training. It supports conditions including dementia and Alzheimer's, stroke, Parkinson's, diabetes, and stoma and wound care, and says it also operates subsidised home care under the Ministry of Health. It is a common starting point for families specifically seeking a live-in caregiver.

CareLink is a private home nursing agency whose nurses, it states, are licensed by the Singapore Nursing Board, offering flexible-hour private nursing, home medical services and caregiver training. It also rents and sells home medical equipment, making it a convenient option for setting up care at home after a hospital discharge. Engagements are arranged around the hours a family needs rather than as fixed packages.

8. Speedoc

Speedoc is a house-call service that sends doctors and nurses to the home and can be booked much like a clinic visit, with home nurse visits available around the clock. Its nurses cover tasks such as wound care, injections, tube feeding and catheter care, while the wider platform adds doctor house calls, telemedicine and remote monitoring aimed at post-discharge patients. It suits households wanting on-demand medical and nursing attention without leaving home.

9. Econ Healthcare

Econ Healthcare, an established private eldercare group in Singapore, extends into the home with personal care and companionship, skilled nursing such as wound dressing, stoma care and feeding-tube changes, home rehabilitation and palliative support. Because it also operates nursing homes and day-care centres, it can suit families who want home care linked to other eldercare options. Care plans are arranged around the individual's needs.

10. CaregiverAsia

CaregiverAsia is an online marketplace where families can browse and book nurses, caregivers and allied-health professionals for home visits, ranging from personal care and companionship to nursing tasks, medical escort and nutrition advice. Users choose a provider, schedule the visit and settle payment online, which makes it easy to match a specific carer to a specific need. It suits those who prefer to select and book individual professionals directly.

How to choose

  • Be clear whether you need skilled nursing (wound care, injections, tube feeding or catheter care) or caregiving support with daily activities, as providers staff and price these differently.
  • Ask whether the nurses hold a valid Singapore Nursing Board practising certificate, and what training and screening the caregivers undergo.
  • Decide on the care pattern you need, hourly visits, 24-hour cover or a live-in caregiver, and confirm which the provider actually offers, since several do not do live-in care.
  • If cost is a concern, check whether the provider is MOH-accredited or AIC-linked and can assess you for subsidies such as the Home Caregiving Grant.
  • For a specific condition, confirm the provider has relevant experience (for example dementia, stroke, palliative or post-surgical care) and ask how the care is supervised and documented.
