NUHS@Home ✓ ACRA Verified

NUHS@Home charges on an hourly basis, though the specific rate is not publicly listed and should be confirmed directly with the provider. When requesting a quote, ask for the all-in cost: the hourly nursing rate, any minimum visit duration, public holiday or after-hours surcharges, and any additional charges for consumables such as wound dressings or catheter supplies. For context, home nursing in Singapore from a licensed provider typically runs between S$25 and S$80 per hour depending on the level of clinical care required. If the patient qualifies for subsidised services through AIC-linked channels, ask whether NUHS@Home is an approved provider under those schemes. See the full eldercare cost guide for Singapore →

NUHS@Home operates on a scheduled visit basis, with nurses attending the patient's home for defined sessions rather than providing live-in care. This model suits patients who need regular clinical interventions — such as wound dressing, IV therapy, or post-surgical care — but who have family or informal support between visits. Confirm the frequency and duration of visits available, how the care plan is reviewed as the patient's needs change, and what the process is if a scheduled nurse is unavailable. A trial period of several weeks is reasonable to request before committing to an ongoing arrangement, and the care scope, visit schedule, and hourly rate should all be set out in writing.

As a service operating under the National University Health System, NUHS@Home deploys registered nurses who hold clinical qualifications aligned with MOH standards. Families should ask at the point of enquiry about the nursing certifications held by the assigned practitioner, and whether the nurse has experience with the specific condition being managed — for example, dementia, stroke rehabilitation, or palliative care. Regarding insurance, confirm whether professional indemnity and public liability cover applies during home visits, and what the protocol is if an incident occurs on-site. It is also worth noting that no AIC or MOH licence appears in the current listing data — families requiring formal AIC-registered home care should confirm NUHS@Home's registration status directly before proceeding.
