Home Nursing in Tampines, Singapore

Tampines is one of the largest and oldest estates in Singapore's east, and its flats are exactly where our nurses spend their days — changing catheters and feeding tubes, dressing wounds, giving injections. Visits start at S$90, prices published, with no minimum on per-visit care. A lot of Tampines families reach us just after a parent's discharge from Changi General Hospital, wanting the follow-up done at home instead of in repeated trips back to the east's acute hospital.

Home nursing that fits Tampines

The care plans we continue in Tampines almost always begin at Changi General Hospital, or during a step-down stay at St Andrew's Community Hospital next door in Simei. We follow them to the letter — the four-weekly catheter, the twice-weekly dressing, the daily insulin — and after every visit send a written summary to your own doctor, including the GPs at SingHealth Polyclinics Tampines and Tampines North.

Home care and ageing in Tampines

Tampines was one of Singapore's original 'model' HDB towns and is now a mature eastern regional centre built around Our Tampines Hub. Many blocks date from the 1980s, and a large share of the residents who raised families here are now in their seventies and eighties — often living with an adult child who works full-time. On weekdays that is where home nursing fits: keeping an elderly parent's catheter, wound or feeds managed without anyone taking leave to queue at a clinic.

Tampines sits in SingHealth's eastern catchment, and CGH is the region's designated acute and emergency hospital.

Where we visit in Tampines

We visit homes right across Tampines — Tampines Central, Tampines North, Tampines East, Tampines West, Simei — and the streets between. Our nurses reach Tampines off the PIE and TPE and via the Tampines and Simei MRT stations, so a visit rarely means a long wait — useful when a catheter blocks or a wound needs looking at sooner than the next scheduled call.

What our nurses do in Tampines

The same care we provide across Singapore — wound dressing, urinary catheter changes (including male catheterisation), NG and PEG feeding-tube changes, injections, IV therapy and stoma care. See the full list on procedures, with prices from S$90 a visit on pricing.

Frequently asked questions

Which hospital would a Tampines patient be discharged from before home nursing starts?

Most Tampines residents are seen at Changi General Hospital, the east's acute hospital, with step-down rehab often at St Andrew's Community Hospital in Simei. We continue the care plan they set, at home.

Can home nursing in Tampines continue care started at a polyclinic?

Yes. Wound care, injections and chronic-disease monitoring begun at SingHealth Polyclinics – Tampines or Tampines North Polyclinic can be continued at home, with a summary sent back to the polyclinic doctor.

Do you cover all of Tampines, including Tampines North?

Yes — we visit homes across the whole Tampines planning area, including Tampines North, for one flat per-visit fee that already covers the nurse's travel across the island.

How quickly can a home nurse come to Tampines?

For a scheduled procedure we usually arrange a visit within a day or two. For an urgent problem such as a blocked catheter, we do our best to come the same day, with an urgent surcharge confirmed before you book.

Can a nurse visit a Tampines flat in the evening or at the weekend?

Yes — we schedule around your family. After-hours and weekend visits add 40% to the nursing fee, and that rate is confirmed with you before the visit.
