Eldercare in Singapore is rarely a single service. Most families end up coordinating several specialisms at once — home nursing, elderly caregivers, senior transport, medical escort, senior daycare, meal delivery, nursing homes, and sometimes funeral services. KakiList lists 829 eldercare providers across all eight areas, with verified business details and real Google reviews, so families juggling multiple services for an ageing parent can plan without fragmenting across five different platforms.
Singapore's eldercare sector sits at the intersection of three things most families don't want to think about at once: medical care, ageing-in-place logistics, and financial planning. CareShield Life and the older ElderShield provide monthly payouts for severe disability, which can offset caregiver, daycare, or nursing home costs. Some home nursing visits accept MediSave claims for specific procedures — wound dressing, tube feeding, catheterisation. The Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) on 1800-650-6060 is the first stop for funding assessments; they can help identify subsidy pathways before you commit to a specific provider.
The practical split between home nursing and elderly caregivers matters for budgeting. Home nursing is clinical: registered nurses handle wound care, injections, catheter changes, tube feeding, and post-hospital recovery at S$60–S$120 per visit. Elderly caregivers are non-medical: bathing, feeding, companionship, mobility assistance at S$20–S$30 an hour. Many families use both — nursing visits booked as-needed, with a caregiver for daily routines. Medical escort is a third layer: providers pick up, accompany through the appointment (with a caregiver or nurse present), and drop off, typically S$100–S$200 per half-day.
For families just starting to plan, we recommend mapping your parent's needs into three buckets — medical, daily living, and social — and matching each to one provider.

Partial cover exists. ElderShield and CareShield Life provide monthly payouts for severe disability, which can be used toward caregivers, nursing homes, or daycare. Some home nursing and medical escort services accept MediSave claims for specific procedures. For assessment, contact the AIC (Agency for Integrated Care) on 1800-650-6060.

Medical escort providers typically offer pickup from home, accompaniment through the appointment (with a caregiver or nurse present), and return drop-off. Book 2-3 days in advance for non-urgent visits. Costs usually start around S\$100-200 per half-day session depending on distance and whether a trained caregiver is needed.
