Guide to Elderly Care in Singapore

As our loved ones age, their needs change, requiring more focused care. For example, if a once-active parent starts struggling with everyday tasks like gardening or remembering appointments, it’s a sign they may need extra support.

Elderly care includes help with daily activities, medical needs, and emotional support. Key signs to watch for include mobility issues, memory lapses, and difficulty managing routine tasks. Recognizing these needs early ensures that your loved one receives the right care and support.

Types of Elderly Care Services Available

In Singapore, families have access to various elderly care options tailored to different needs and circumstances. This section covers the main types of services, such as:

  • Part-Time Care: Ideal for families who need occasional assistance.
  • Full-Time Care: Comprehensive support for those who require continuous care.
  • Specialized Care: Focused on specific health conditions, such as dementia or Parkinson’s disease.
  • Home-Based Care: Allows seniors to remain in their familiar environment while receiving professional care.

Choosing the Right Caregiver

Selecting the right caregiver is crucial for the well-being of your loved one. This section provides guidance on what to look for in a caregiver, including qualifications, experience, and personality traits. Tips on how to interview potential caregivers and what questions to ask are also included, ensuring that families can make informed decisions that align with their specific needs.

Financial Assistance and Support Options

Singapore Government offers various grants and subsidies to help ease the burden of caregiving costs. This section details the different financial assistance options available, such as the Home Caregiving Grant (HCG) and other government subsidies. Additionally, it offers advice on budgeting for elderly care and tips on maximizing available resources.

Enhancing Quality of Life for the Elderly

Beyond basic care, enhancing the quality of life for elderly individuals is key to their happiness and well-being. This section explores ways to keep seniors engaged and connected with their communities. It covers the importance of social interaction, mental stimulation, physical activity, and how caregivers can incorporate these elements into daily routines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our caregivers come from diverse backgrounds hailing from Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries. Our local caregivers have years of experience either working as professional caregivers or have performed caregiving duties in their personal capacity before. Our international elderly caregivers either have experience working as domestic helpers in Singapore and/or have undergone relevant training to perform elder-minding services for households under the Household Services Scheme by the Ministry of Manpower. Rest assured that your elderly parents are in safe and capable hands when you work with our caregivers.
All changes with regard to your care session with us need to be notified a minimum of 48 hours before-hand. If you wish to cancel your session with us, you need to give at least a two day notice.

If wish to continue your session, but wish to shorten the length of time you had originally booked, please also notify us a minimum of 48 hours before-hand.

Cancellations or changes to your booking less than 48 hours beforehand will incur a penalty equivalent to 50% of the value of the care session, or hours shortened.

Example:
You booked a 3-hour session at $23 per hour, totalling $69 in session value, but cancel the session the night before. You will incur a $34.5 penalty.

Example 2:
You booked an 8-hour care session at $23 per hour, totalling $184, but wish to shorten your session by 3 hours (with less than 48 hour notice). You will incur 1.5 hours worth of charges for the shortening of the session (1.5 x $23 = $34.5)
We offer discounted rates to customers that commit to at least 3 care sessions with us on schedules that are either weekly, or fortnightly at the minimum.
Our Care Professionals can speak conversational English. We have caregivers who may be able to understand basic Mandarin and dialects, e.g. Hokkien, and Cantonese.
Our caregivers are able to care for both your parents, so long as the allocated time you book for their requirements is enough.

Our caregivers are also professionally trained housekeepers that can help with chores around the home such as cleaning, laundry, wiping down of surfaces, and dishes.

We have babysitting services specifically for children. Our caregivers are specialized in providing care to elderly only. If you require a babysitter, you can check out our page at https://www.helpling.com.sg/childcare
Yes, you can request the same caregiver, provided that they are available. This is why we ask our customers if they wish to potentially engage our caregiving services on a recurring basis, so that we can match them with a caregiver that has the same availability in the following weeks, in case they wish to keep having the same caregiver for their loved ones.
Definitely! To ensure that you find the best fit for your caregiving needs, here are some factors apart from experience to consider:

– Whether the caregiver is able to communicate in the same language(s) as your elderly parent
– Ratings and reviews of the caregiver
– Whether the caregiver has handled a similar caregiving situation to your current needs. Most importantly, once you have decided on a caregiver, try it out and see if the caregiver is a good fit for your elderly parent. Sometimes, a candidate may sound great on paper but you can only find the most suitable caregiver once you try it out. Our Home Advisors are here to help with the caregiving selection process!
As of March 2023, the Home Caregiving Grant has been enhanced by the government to better assist families requiring assistance for care-related expenses.

The Home Caregiving Grant aids families with a monthly payout of $250 or $400 in cash to Singaporeans who provide care for their loved ones requiring assisted daily living with moderate to severe disabilities. Speak to our agent to find out if you are eligible. You can read more about how to apply for HCG with the government here!
