About Ren Ci Hospital
Ren Ci Hospital provides home nursing services across Singapore, operating from its base at 71 Irrawaddy Road. The listing is KakiList-verified and ACRA-registered. Its Google rating stands at 3.2 out of 5 across 49 reviews — a moderate sample size, though the score warrants attention and prospective clients are encouraged to read recent reviews carefully before proceeding.
Families typically begin by contacting Ren Ci Hospital via phone or enquiry form to discuss the elder's care needs, including mobility limitations, medical conditions, wound care, tube feeding, or post-hospitalisation nursing requirements. A care assessment is usually conducted to determine the appropriate level of nursing support, the number of weekly visits needed, and whether a visiting nurse model suits the situation or whether more intensive arrangements are required. It is worth clarifying with the team which clinical procedures the home nursing staff are qualified to perform, and whether the service can scale up or down as the elder's condition changes.
To take the next step, contact Ren Ci Hospital directly by phone or through the online enquiry form to arrange a care assessment and discuss the specific needs of your family member.

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 prices home nursing on an hourly basis, though the exact rate is not publicly listed — contact the team directly for a quote based on the level of clinical care required and visit frequency. As a general reference, home nursing in Singapore typically runs S$25–80 per hour depending on the complexity of care (basic nursing visits versus skilled procedures such as wound management or catheter care), with higher rates for public holidays and weekend visits. Beyond the hourly charge, confirm whether there are additional costs for consumables (dressings, catheters, feeding tubes), transport to your address, and any agency or administrative fees. Ask whether GST applies to the service. For families eligible for government subsidies through AIC (Agency for Integrated Care), check whether Ren Ci Hospital is an AIC-registered provider, as approved providers can help unlock means-tested funding that reduces out-of-pocket costs significantly.

Ren Ci Hospital's listed subcategory is home nursing, which is a visit-based model: a qualified nurse attends the home for scheduled sessions rather than residing with the patient. This suits post-discharge wound care, medication management, vital signs monitoring, tube feeding, stoma care, and similar clinical needs that do not require round-the-clock presence. If the elder requires continuous supervision or personal care between nursing visits — bathing, feeding, mobility assistance — families typically supplement home nursing with a separate caregiver or foreign domestic worker arrangement. Discuss the full care picture with Ren Ci Hospital during the assessment so the nursing schedule is designed around any other caregivers already in place. Ask about the trial period policy and the process for adjusting visit frequency if needs change.
Home nursing staff at an established hospital-affiliated provider such as Ren Ci Hospital are expected to be registered or enrolled nurses under the Singapore Nursing Board (a division of AHPC), which sets the qualification and continuing education standards for clinical nursing practice in Singapore. Ask the team to confirm the registration category of the nurse assigned to your case — registered nurses (RN) can perform a wider range of clinical procedures than enrolled nurses (EN). On the insurance and licensing side, note that Ren Ci Hospital's listed regulatory licences are not on file in this listing — confirm directly whether the home nursing service is AIC- or MOH-registered, as registration with these bodies is expected for providers delivering subsidised or clinically supervised home care. Also clarify whether the service carries professional indemnity cover for nursing incidents occurring in the home, and what the escalation protocol is if the patient's condition deteriorates during a visit.
If Ren Ci Hospital isn't the right fit, these are other home nursing providers on KakiList worth shortlisting. All are independently listed — no affiliate fees, no "featured" sponsorships.
