As our loved ones age, their needs change, requiring more focused care. For example, if a once-active parent starts struggling with everyday tasks like gardening or remembering appointments, it’s a sign they may need extra support.
Elderly care includes help with daily activities, medical needs, and emotional support. Key signs to watch for include mobility issues, memory lapses, and difficulty managing routine tasks. Recognizing these needs early ensures that your loved one receives the right care and support.
Elderly care, also known as senior care or geriatric care, is a crucial component of healthcare systems designed to address the unique needs of aging individuals. It includes a wide range of services, including nursing home care, home health care, assisted living, and hospice care. As Singapore faces a rapidly aging population, the need for quality elderly care services is more important than ever.
Families must assess the level of care their loved ones require, whether it’s occasional help with daily tasks or full-time medical and emotional support. Recognizing mobility issues, memory lapses, or difficulty in performing routine activities early can make a significant difference in enhancing their quality of life.
In Singapore, families can choose from 4 main types of elderly care options, each tailored to meet different needs and circumstances.

Everything you need to know about elderly care services with Helpling.
Our caregivers come from diverse backgrounds hailing from Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries. Our local caregivers have years of experience either working as professional caregivers or have performed caregiving duties in their personal capacity before. Our international elderly caregivers either have experience working as domestic helpers in Singapore and/or have undergone relevant training to perform elder-minding services for households under the Household Services Scheme by the Ministry of Manpower. Rest assured that your elderly parents are in safe and capable hands when you work with our caregivers.
All changes with regard to your care session with us need to be notified a minimum of 48 hours before-hand. If you wish to cancel your session with us, you need to give at least a two day notice.
If wish to continue your session, but wish to shorten the length of time you had originally booked, please also notify us a minimum of 48 hours before-hand.
Cancellations or changes to your booking less than 48 hours beforehand will incur a penalty equivalent to 50% of the value of the care session, or hours shortened.
Example:
You booked a 3-hour session at $23 per hour, totalling $69 in session value, but cancel the session the night before. You will incur a $34.5 penalty.
Example 2:
You booked an 8-hour care session at $23 per hour, totalling $184, but wish to shorten your session by 3 hours (with less than 48 hour notice). You will incur 1.5 hours worth of charges for the shortening of the session (1.5 x $23 = $34.5)
We offer discounted rates to customers that commit to at least 3 care sessions with us on schedules that are either weekly, or fortnightly at the minimum.
Our Care Professionals can speak conversational English. We have caregivers who may be able to understand basic Mandarin and dialects, e.g. Hokkien, and Cantonese.
Our caregivers are able to care for both your parents, so long as the allocated time you book for their requirements is enough.
Our caregivers are also professionally trained housekeepers that can help with chores around the home such as cleaning, laundry, wiping down of surfaces, and dishes.
We have babysitting services specifically for children. Our caregivers are specialized in providing care to elderly only. If you require a babysitter, you can check out our page at https://www.helpling.com.sg/childcare
Yes, you can request the same caregiver, provided that they are available. This is why we ask our customers if they wish to potentially engage our caregiving services on a recurring basis, so that we can match them with a caregiver that has the same availability in the following weeks, in case they wish to keep having the same caregiver for their loved ones.
Definitely! To ensure that you find the best fit for your caregiving needs, here are some factors apart from experience to consider:
– Whether the caregiver is able to communicate in the same language(s) as your elderly parent
– Ratings and reviews of the caregiver
– Whether the caregiver has handled a similar caregiving situation to your current needs. Most importantly, once you have decided on a caregiver, try it out and see if the caregiver is a good fit for your elderly parent. Sometimes, a candidate may sound great on paper but you can only find the most suitable caregiver once you try it out. Our Home Advisors are here to help with the caregiving selection process!
As of March 2023, the Home Caregiving Grant has been enhanced by the government to better assist families requiring assistance for care-related expenses.
The Home Caregiving Grant aids families with a monthly payout of $250 or $400 in cash to Singaporeans who provide care for their loved ones requiring assisted daily living with moderate to severe disabilities. Speak to our agent to find out if you are eligible.
