It is worth involving all key family decision-makers early, as nursing home placements involve both financial commitments and emotional considerations. A trial period or day visit prior to admission is advisable to assess environment, staff interaction, and daily routine.
To take the next step, contact Metta Welfare Association by phone or through the enquiry form to request a facility tour and a care assessment appointment.

They have doctors and nurses that attend to those who opt for hospice care at home. The doctors and nurses will visit the patients, frequency of visit based on how serious the patients is. They provide free loan of oxygen concentrator machines. Great job guys! Front of building is school, behind building is the home hospice welfare association. They have a small canteen on 1st level for light snacks and drinks

Hidden in the inconspicuous corners of Simei Street 1, this is a gem of a place - for they are not just any school - they are the torch-bearers for schooling kids with special abilities. But that’s not all, these kids learn to bake such sumptuous, gourmet cookies (eggless!!) that you just can’t stop at one… Make sure to drop by and pick-up cookie jars from this amazing school on your next visit to East 👍

Peaceful and quiet place. Please use the side gate to the HDB carpark if the main gates are closed. There are used clothes and electronics goods collection bins in the basement. There is also a vegetarian cafe in the premises.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Metta Welfare Association charge?›
Nursing home fees in Singapore vary based on the level of care required, the resident's citizenship status, and the room type. Government-subsidised nursing homes typically charge Singapore Citizens between S$900 and S$2,500 per month after means-tested subsidies, with Permanent Residents and foreigners paying higher unsubsidised rates. The pricing display for Metta Welfare Association is listed at the '$$' tier, but a precise monthly figure is not published — contact the home directly for an itemised breakdown. Common cost components include the daily bed rate, nursing care charges, meals, incontinence supplies, physiotherapy, and any specialist consultations. MediShield Life and MediSave (up to S$400 per month for chronic conditions) can be used to offset nursing home fees. ElderShield or CareShield Life payouts, where applicable, can also contribute.

Live-in or visit-based — which does Metta Welfare Association offer?›
Metta Welfare Association operates as a nursing home, which is a residential facility providing full-time, round-the-clock care. Residents live on-site and are supported by nursing staff, care aides, and allied health professionals throughout the day and night. This differs from home-based or visit-based eldercare services, where a caregiver comes to the family home for a set number of hours. Families should ask about the admission process, typical length of stay, room configurations (single, shared two-bedded, or ward), and the schedule for family visits. It is also worth asking whether a trial admission or short-term respite stay is available before committing to a long-term placement, as this can help the resident and family assess fit.
Is the caregiver trained and insured?›
Nursing homes operating in Singapore are required to register with the Ministry of Health (MOH) and are subject to regular licensing and inspection requirements. Nursing staff should hold recognised qualifications such as the Enrolled Nurse (EN) or Registered Nurse (RN) credential under the Singapore Nursing Board, while care aides typically hold a Certificate in Nursing Practice or equivalent. No regulatory licences are currently listed in this profile for Metta Welfare Association, so families should ask directly for the MOH licensing number and any AIC-registration details. On insurance, ask whether the facility carries professional indemnity cover for clinical incidents and public liability insurance for resident accidents. Confirm the incident reporting process and how the home communicates with families in the event of a fall, health deterioration, or emergency.
