Home nursing in Singapore is MOH-regulated (HCSA licensing) and SNB-regulated for individual nurses. The critical signals are MOH licensing for the provider and SNB registration for each nurse — unlicensed operators performing clinical tasks (injections, wound care, catheter management) risk patient safety and family liability. AIC coordination for ILTC subsidies can reduce costs by 30-80% for eligible patients. KakiList connects you with 176 verified Home Nursing providers serving the Hougang area.

Every legitimate provider holds an MOH Licence under the Healthcare Services Act (HCSA). The licence number is verifiable on MOH's directory. Individual nurses must be SNB-registered (Singapore Nursing Board) — Registered Nurse (RN) for complex clinical work, Enrolled Nurse (EN) for lower-complexity, nursing aides for personal care only. Verify credentials match scope.
RN hourly visit: S\$80-160. EN/aide hourly: S\$45-90. 24-hour stay-in: S\$2,500-6,500/month. With AIC-coordinated ILTC subsidy, eligible patients get 30-80% reduction. Post-hospital care package (4-hour daily visits × 3 months) runs S\$3,500-7,500 net. MediSave covers home nursing for eligible post-surgical cases.
AIC (Agency for Integrated Care) coordinates home care for eligible patients and directs you toward ILTC subsidy-supported providers. Private-pay arrangements skip this — you pay full unsubsidised rates. For chronic conditions or post-acute care, go through AIC first; subsidies can dramatically reduce costs. AIC referrals are free.
No — nursing aides without SNB registration are only qualified for basic personal care (bathing, feeding, mobility assistance). Clinical tasks require EN or RN credentials. Providers using aides for clinical work are cutting costs at patient safety risk. Ask specifically who will perform which tasks.
Quality home nursing providers have 24/7 on-call coverage and written escalation protocols (which doctor to call, which hospital to go to, family notification). Providers without documented escalation plans leave families scrambling during crisis. Ask specifically before committing to a long-term care plan.
