Care Support

Strengthening Support for Seniors with Care Needs

Beyond supporting seniors to age actively, we also understand that there are seniors who are concerned about being adequately cared for in their homes and in their community.

To strengthen support for frailer seniors and provide greater reassurance to family members, we are developing more options for seniors to receive timely and appropriate care right where they are.

Enhanced Home Personal Care (HPC+) 

We are enhancing the home personal care services so that we can better support seniors to age-in-place in community, even as their needs increase.   

Under the HPC+ service, seniors can receive services to support their care in the community, such as assistance with showering and housekeeping.  It will also include a 24/7 technology-enabled monitoring and response element to detect falls and incidents, and provide timely support. 

MOH will mainstream HPC+ island-wide by end-2025 to better support more seniors. More information on the home personal care services can be found on the AIC website.

Shared Stay-in Senior Care Services

The Shared Stay-in Senior Care Services is a care model where a caregiver assists a group of seniors with their activities of daily living and social programmes in a shared premises, similar to how families would provide caregiving for their loved ones. Service providers enjoy work pass flexibilities to support a sustainable model of manpower deployment to care for seniors round-the-clock.

Service providers, families and seniors can refer to the guide on the recommended good practices when providing or seeking such a service. More information on the application details for interested service providers and the good practice guide can be found on the AIC websitefrom the second half of 2025.

Seamless delivery of care

Today, seniors with multiple care needs may have to interact with multiple care providers and undergo repeated assessments from each provider. For example, they may need to interact with a day care centre, and a home care provider.

To provide a more seamless care journey for seniors and their caregivers, we will appoint an Integrated Community Care Provider (ICCP) to oversee care coordination for each region. We have been in consultation with key stakeholders and many of our sector partners are supportive of this effort. 

We will encourage existing providers to come together and form partnerships to perform the ICCP functions, and are working towards implementing this across Singapore by 2026.

Support for Caregiver Training

Caregivers can tap on up to $400 in Caregivers’ Training Grant (CTG) subsidies per year, double that of $200 today. We will also allow caregivers to tap on their SkillsFuture Credit to pay for eligible caregiver courses, to further reduce the cost of training. 

With these, we will scale up the number of subsidised training places for caregivers, to 4,400 each year across 200 courses.
