Cost & billing
How much does a home nurse cost in Singapore?
Private home-nursing visits typically run S$80–250 depending on the procedure and whether consumables and transport are included. Our own rates start from S$115 per visit, with consumables billed at cost — the full list is on our pricing page.
How are consumables charged?
Separately, at our supplier cost — no markup. The per-visit price is the nursing fee; dressings, catheters, tubes and syringes are itemised at cost, and every item is published on the pricing page.
Are there surcharges I should know about?
An evening or weekend visit costs no more than a weekday one — we do not charge an after-hours premium. Surcharges apply only for same-day or urgent bookings made within 24 hours (+S$60), off-island and remote zones such as Sentosa, Jurong Island and Tuas South (+S$55), and visits running beyond 60 minutes (+S$60 per additional 30 minutes). Nothing is hidden — you see the total before you commit.
Is there a minimum number of hours?
No. Per-visit procedures are charged per visit, with no minimum-hours lock-in. You book only the care you need.
Our nurses
Are your nurses qualified? Do you employ them directly?
We work with a network of established, licensed partner agencies to match each visit with a nurse registered with the Singapore Nursing Board (SNB). We check registration and identity before a nurse is assigned, coordinate the care, confirm the price up front, and stay your single point of contact throughout.
What's the difference between a home nurse and a caregiver?
A caregiver assists with daily living (bathing, feeding, mobility). A home nurse is a registered nurse who can also perform clinical procedures — wound care, catheter and tube changes, injections and IV therapy.
Can I get the same nurse each visit?
For recurring care we aim to keep continuity where possible, so the patient sees a familiar face.
Booking & visits
How do I book a nurse?
Use the booking form, call, or WhatsApp us with what's needed and a preferred date. We'll confirm a nurse, a time, and the price in writing before the visit.
How quickly can a nurse come?
Call or WhatsApp us and we'll confirm the soonest available visit. For care after a hospital discharge, it's best to arrange it before discharge day.
What does the visit fee cover?
The nurse's time, travel within mainland Singapore, and a written summary you can share with the patient's own doctor. Consumables are billed separately at cost.
Subsidies
Do you cover subsidies?
Government support such as the Home Caregiving Grant and AIC-subsidised home nursing may apply for eligible Singapore Citizens and PRs. We can point you to the right pathway — see our subsidies guide.
Is subsidised or private home nursing cheaper?
It depends. Subsidised care can be much cheaper if you qualify, but there can be a wait. Private care costs more but starts immediately. We'll be honest about which fits your situation.
