## How to choose
- Get a means-test through AIC first. Subsidies for home and day care were up to 80% for citizens to June 2026, and MOH announced higher subsidies and a higher income ceiling from July 2026.
- Match the service to the need: a caregiver for bathing, feeding and companionship; a nurse for wound care, injections or tube feeding.
- Ask whether the same caregiver will come each time, and how replacements are handled.
- Apply for the Home Caregiving Grant if the person needs permanent help with at least three of six activities of daily living: $600 a month at household income per person up to $1,500, $400 up to $3,600 and $200 up to $4,800.

## Red flags
- A 'nurse' who cannot show proof of nursing registration.
- Large upfront prepayments for long service packages.
- No written care plan or incident reporting.

As of mid-2026, private personal-care caregivers cost about $23–30 an hour and licensed home nursing about $26–30+ an hour, with ad-hoc bookings dearer than recurring packages. Medical escorts cost about $60–90 per round trip plus an hourly charge. Subsidised home care through AIC-linked providers is means-tested.

### What is the Home Caregiving Grant?
A monthly cash grant for families caring for a Singapore Citizen or eligible PR who permanently needs help with at least three of six activities of daily living and does not live in a residential institution.
