Allcare Nursing Services ✓ ACRA Verified

Home nursing fees in Singapore are typically quoted on an hourly basis, with rates varying according to the level of clinical skill required — a registered nurse commands a higher rate than a care aide or personal care assistant. Visit-based nursing sessions are usually priced per visit or per hour, while longer daily engagements may be quoted as a half-day or full-day package. Allcare Nursing Services is listed at the '$$' price tier; contact them directly for a written quote. Beyond the base hourly or visit rate, confirm whether public holiday surcharges apply, whether there is a minimum engagement period per visit, and whether consumables such as wound dressings or gloves are included or billed separately. If a live-in arrangement is under consideration, the cost structure, levy, and insurance requirements differ significantly from visit-based nursing. See the full eldercare cost guide for Singapore →

Visit-based home nursing is the core model for clinical services such as wound care, post-surgical monitoring, medication administration, nasogastric tube feeding, and catheter management. A registered nurse visits at scheduled intervals — often daily or several times a week — for a defined duration per session. This suits elders who are largely independent between visits or who have family members present at other times. A live-in arrangement provides round-the-clock presence and is more appropriate for elders with high-dependency needs, dementia at a moderate-to-advanced stage, or significant fall risk. Confirm directly with Allcare Nursing Services which arrangement they offer, the minimum hours or days per engagement, their replacement or cover policy if the assigned nurse is unavailable, and whether a trial period can be agreed before signing a longer-term contract.

For home nursing specifically, the attending caregiver should hold a valid nursing qualification — either a Singapore Nursing Board (SNB)-registered nurse or enrolled nurse credential. For dementia care, additional certification such as the Dementia Care Mapping or WSQ-accredited dementia training is relevant. Ask Allcare Nursing Services to confirm the qualifications of the nurse assigned to your case. On the regulatory side, MOH registration and AIC recognition are standard markers for clinical home care providers in Singapore. No licences are currently listed on this KakiList profile, so families should ask the provider to share their registration details directly. Regarding insurance, confirm whether the agency holds coverage for caregiver injury on your premises and for incidents involving the client during a session — both are important before care begins.
