St Andrew's Senior Care ✓ ACRA Verified

Home nursing fees in Singapore are typically quoted on an hourly or visit basis. Hourly rates from registered providers generally range from S$20 to S$50 per hour for personal care and companionship, rising to S$60–120 per hour for clinical nursing. Live-in arrangements are usually quoted as a monthly package. Confirm whether the quoted rate covers agency fees separately from the caregiver's pay, and ask about public holiday surcharges, which commonly run at 1.5–2× the base rate. For live-in arrangements, additional costs such as mandatory insurance and levy (if a foreign domestic worker is involved) apply on top of salary and placement fees. Request a written breakdown of all charges before signing any engagement. See the full eldercare cost guide for Singapore →

St Andrew's Senior Care is listed under home nursing, which typically covers scheduled visit-based care rather than round-the-clock live-in arrangements. Visit-based nursing suits seniors who are largely independent but require regular clinical or personal care at defined times — for example, daily wound dressing or twice-weekly bathing assistance. If your family's needs extend to overnight or continuous coverage, clarify directly with St Andrew's Senior Care whether that can be accommodated, and confirm the caregiver's scope (clinical nursing versus personal care versus companionship). A trial period of two to four weeks is a reasonable request before committing to a longer arrangement, and any agreed care plan, hours, and rates should be confirmed in writing.

For home nursing specifically, the attending professional should hold a valid nursing registration recognised in Singapore — typically with the Singapore Nursing Board (SNB) for registered or enrolled nurses. It is reasonable to ask for the caregiver's registration details and to verify these on the SNB public register before care begins. St Andrew's Senior Care does not currently list any regulatory licences in their KakiList profile, and ACRA registration is not confirmed. Ask directly about insurance coverage for caregiver injury on-site and for incidents involving the client. Insist on a written care plan that details the caregiver's qualifications, scope of duties, and the provider's process for handling caregiver substitutions or emergencies.
