About Ren Ci Hospital
Ren Ci Hospital is an eldercare provider operating islandwide from its base at 71 Irrawaddy Road, Singapore. The listing is KakiList-verified and ACRA-registered. Its Google rating stands at 3.2 out of 5 across 49 reviews — a moderate sample, though the below-average score warrants attention and families should read the reviews carefully before proceeding. No regulatory licences are currently listed on this profile, which is a gap worth clarifying directly with the provider, particularly for any clinical or nursing care components.
Families typically begin by contacting Ren Ci Hospital via phone or enquiry form to discuss the care recipient's specific needs — mobility level, medical conditions, cognitive status, and whether round-the-clock or scheduled visit-based support is required. It is worth clarifying which services are available (personal care, nursing, dementia support, day rehabilitation) and whether the team includes trained caregivers or registered nurses. A care assessment is the usual starting point, after which a care plan, hours, and costs are agreed in writing. If live-in arrangements are under consideration, confirm the staffing model and any replacement or contingency policy.
To take the next step, contact Ren Ci Hospital by phone or through the enquiry form on their website to request a care assessment and discuss current availability for your required service.
Insist on a trial period and put the care plan, hours, and rate in writing.
I am extremely disappointed with the service provided by the lobby staff during my visit (8 Feb 2026, 5pm) with my grandmother today. We arrived with my grandmother in a wheelchair to register. Instead of offering assistance, the staff member (a male with curly hair) dismissively told us to use the self-service kiosk. It was incredibly insensitive to direct a person in a wheelchair and their caregiver to a machine rather than providing manual counter assistance. Furthermore, he curtly informed my grandmother—who is a new visitor—that she was only allowed 5 minutes, which felt unwelcoming and impatient. The lack of empathy continued at the gantry. We were visibly struggling to scan my grandmother’s IC and complete the facial recognition while managing the wheelchair, yet the same staff member stood by and didn't offer any help. Technical efficiency is one thing, but a community hospital requires staff with basic compassion and a sense of duty to the elderly. I hope Ren Ci management looks into training this individual or deploying staff who are better suited for a frontline, patient-facing role.
Renci hospital is very irresponsible , my father admitted on 2/jan and his sickness got worst and no one call to update , not even a call from the doctor after leaving message to the staff nurse for weeks. His arm was little swollen when admitted but now his arm got so swollen and bad . And With no asthma now he got asthma . I just want an update want is wrong?? Not even an update for changed of medicine and putting IV on him.
[ This is a review of the recent community event held at the hospital grounds ] I hope Ren Ci will consider holding future community events at another venue instead of the hospital grounds. The recent event caused quite a lot of inconvenience — the carpark was closed for five days (including Saturday and Sunday), and the lifts to visit patients were reduced from three to just one (two lifts were used for the event). This made it difficult for visitors, especially those using mobility aids, to see their loved ones. Ren Ci is a community hospital whose main purpose is to serve patients and their families, so it’s important that accessibility and patient care remain the top priority. A community event would be better held somewhere else, not within the hospital itself.
This is not a review of the healthcare services at the hospital but a critique of its failure to consider the needs of its patients holistically. My mother undergoes physiotherapy in the morning and needs a taxi ride home thereafter as her children have to be at work. However, the hospital reception does not offer to call taxi services for patients (owing to some inconvenience I could not comprehend). Their alternative is for patients to make their own way to the taxi stands at Tan Tock Seng Hospital, which is ludicrous when aged patients are seeking medical help for mobility issues in the first place. Many are old (my mother is 87), with difficulties way finding. It is also unrealistic to expect aged patients to use ride share apps, as many are unfamiliar with technology and are fearful of fraud. The hospital has evidently overlooked the last mile in its service. There is little point in providing therapy when patients risk falling on their way out of your facility. This also creates unnecessary difficulty for families and caregivers who need to work, even if they have the means for private transport. The hospital should do better and live up to its name.
I have no insurance So I have no choice but to stay in C ward. The weather was so hot that I have to withstand the heat. But fortunately the Nurses here VANI and MADHU ,CLAIRE PRIYA and 爱莲 and CINAMA, Ezhil was Very Nice. They allow to get a comfortable bed for my helper ,and my helper can sleep comfortably overnight with me. Thank You Nurses, I hope by writing these review you all can get promotions by your Personnel In Charge.

Ren Ci Hospital does not publicly list specific fee schedules on this profile, so pricing will need to be confirmed directly. As a general guide, visit-based home care in Singapore typically runs from S$20–50 per hour depending on the level of care (personal care versus nursing), while live-in arrangements involve a combination of caregiver salary, agency placement fees, and monthly levy if an FDW is engaged. Day care or rehabilitation programmes are usually priced on a monthly or per-session basis. Public holiday surcharges and weekend rates are common across eldercare providers. If the care recipient is a Singapore Citizen or PR, ask about AIC-administered subsidies such as the Home Care Subsidy or CareShield Life, which can significantly offset costs.

Ren Ci Hospital's profile does not specify whether it offers live-in care, scheduled visit-based home care, day rehabilitation, or a combination. This is an important distinction to clarify before engaging — visit-based care suits seniors who are relatively independent between visits, while live-in or 24-hour arrangements are more appropriate for those with high dependency, fall risk, or advanced dementia. When enquiring, ask about the scope of care offered (medical, personal, companionship), minimum hours per visit, whether the same caregiver is assigned regularly, and the replacement or contingency policy if the assigned caregiver is unavailable. A trial period of two to four weeks is a reasonable request before committing to a longer-term arrangement, and all terms — hours, scope, and rate — should be confirmed in writing.
No regulatory licences are currently listed on Ren Ci Hospital's KakiList profile. For eldercare providers delivering clinical or nursing services, registration with the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) or the Ministry of Health (MOH) is expected — families should ask Ren Ci Hospital directly to confirm this and request documentation. When assessing caregiver qualifications, ask whether care staff hold recognised certifications such as the WSQ Higher Certificate in Community Care, and whether any caregivers are registered nurses. For dementia-specific care, ask about Dementia Care Mapping or related training. Confirm whether the provider carries insurance covering caregiver injury on site or incidents involving the care recipient — this is standard practice among reputable eldercare operators.
If Ren Ci Hospital isn't the right fit, these are other elderly caregivers providers on KakiList worth shortlisting. All are independently listed — no affiliate fees, no "featured" sponsorships.
