Econ Medicare Centre ✓ ACRA Verified

Econ Medicare Centre operates on an hourly pricing model, which is standard for home nursing in Singapore. Market rates for home nursing visits typically range from S$20 to S$80 or more per hour, depending on the level of clinical care required, the duration of each visit, and whether a registered nurse or a care aide is assigned. Contact Econ Medicare Centre directly for a quote specific to your situation. Beyond the hourly rate, confirm in writing whether there is a minimum visit duration, whether public holiday surcharges apply, and whether any consumables such as wound dressings or catheters are billed separately. If a live-in arrangement is being considered, the cost structure will differ significantly from visit-based nursing. See the full eldercare cost guide for Singapore →

Econ Medicare Centre is listed under home nursing, which typically refers to scheduled visit-based nursing rather than live-in care. Visit-based arrangements allow a registered nurse or care aide to attend at agreed times — for example, morning and evening — to handle clinical tasks such as wound care, tube feeding, or medication administration, while the family or another caregiver provides coverage in between. If your situation requires round-the-clock supervision, it is worth asking Econ Medicare Centre directly whether they can accommodate extended or live-in nursing arrangements, or whether they can recommend a complementary service. A trial period of one to two weeks is a reasonable way to assess whether the scope of care meets your elder's needs before committing to a longer arrangement. Put the agreed hours, care tasks, and rate in writing before the first visit.

For home nursing specifically, the assigned professional should hold a nursing qualification — ideally registered with the Singapore Nursing Board (SNB) under the Allied Health Professions Council (AHPC) framework. For post-hospitalisation or clinical nursing, a Registered Nurse (RN) qualification is the appropriate standard; Enrolled Nurses (EN) handle a narrower clinical scope. Econ Medicare Centre does not currently list regulatory licences on its KakiList profile, so it is important to ask directly about the qualifications of the nurse assigned to your case, whether the service holds professional indemnity insurance, and what the protocol is if a caregiver is unwell or unable to attend a scheduled visit. AIC registration is the benchmark for home care providers working within Singapore's public healthcare framework — confirm whether Econ Medicare Centre is registered if this matters for your care plan.
