Home Nursing & Private Nurse Services in Singapore

Arrange a private nurse for care at home in Singapore, from post-discharge support and recurring visits to wound, catheter and prescribed injection care. Share the care requirements and preferred schedule so we can assess a suitable match.

Care requirements, availability and price are confirmed before a visit is booked.

Short answer

For Singapore families searching for a private home nurse, NurseLink is built around qualified home nursing for post-discharge recovery, recurring clinical care, and higher-acuity support such as wound, tube, catheter, injection, PEG, and IV care.

All nurses on NurseLink are licensed by the Singapore Nursing Board (SNB). Check a nurse’s registration.

What can a private home nurse help with?

Home nursing covers clinical care at home. Tell us the tasks in the care plan so we can assess the visit scope and match the professional to the care required.

  • Post-discharge and recurring visits for medication administration, vital-sign monitoring and PEG feeding support.
  • Registered nurses for complex wound dressing, catheter care and prescribed injection or IV procedures, subject to suitability.
  • Daily living help such as bathing, dressing, meals and mobility can be arranged alongside nursing needs. Healthcare assistants support daily living; clinical procedures require a suitably qualified nurse.

Home nursing prices and visit options

Published hourly care tiers are S$29, S$39, S$49. The appropriate tier depends on the support required, with a two-hour minimum for hourly visits and the same tier rates on weekdays and weekends. Complex nursing procedures start from S$80 per procedure; they are priced separately from hourly care.

Tell us whether you need a one-off visit, recurring care or a longer shift. Confirm the tasks, visit duration, price and any additional charges before booking. Consumables for complex procedures are provided by the family.

How to arrange a home nurse

  • Share the care tasks, location in Singapore, preferred dates and any clinician instructions through the booking form or WhatsApp.
  • We assess the care scope and availability so the professional is matched to the required tasks.
  • Check the agreed timing, price and booking confirmation. Sending a care request alone does not confirm a visit.
  • For recurring care, discuss preferred continuity in advance. The same nurse on every visit depends on availability.

When families usually look for private home nursing

  • A loved one is leaving hospital and the family needs a safer transition home.
  • The care plan includes medication support, vital signs monitoring, PEG feeding, wound care, catheter or tube care, injections, or IV support.
  • The family is comparing private care options for a particular visit or ongoing schedule.
  • The case needs calmer continuity, clearer handovers, and a nurse matched to the clinical situation.

How private home nursing differs from general home care

  • General home care often focuses on companionship, supervision, meals, showering, and daily routines.
  • Private home nursing is more appropriate when the case needs clinical technique, monitoring, documentation, or escalation judgment.
  • Some families need both: a caregiver for longer daily support and a nurse for clinical visits or procedures.
  • Choosing the right role helps families avoid under-supporting a clinical case or paying for the wrong type of care.

What to prepare before enquiring

  • A short summary of the diagnosis, discharge plan, and the main risks at home.
  • Medication lists, prescriptions, wound or tube instructions, and any hospital guidance if available.
  • The preferred visit frequency, timing, and whether the need is one-off, recurring, overnight, or urgent.
  • Any mobility, communication, infection-control, or family handover concerns the nurse should know before matching.

Common questions about Private home nursing in Singapore

Can I arrange a one-off visit or recurring nursing care?

You can request a single visit or repeat visits in the booking form. Share the tasks and preferred schedule. Each visit depends on an appropriate match and availability; submitting a request does not confirm the appointment.

Can I request a particular nurse?

The booking form offers a best-available match or a preferred nurse when suitable options are available for the visit. A preference is subject to the nurse’s availability and the care required; it is not a guarantee of the same nurse every time.

What is private home nursing?

Private home nursing is nurse-led care arranged directly for the home, often for post-discharge recovery, recurring clinical support, medication administration, monitoring, wound care, tube or catheter care, injections, or other clinical tasks.

When should I choose a private home nurse instead of a caregiver?

A private home nurse is usually more appropriate when the case involves clinical tasks, monitoring, post-discharge follow-up, medication support, PEG feeding, wound care, catheter care, injections, IV support, or higher risk at home.

Can private home nursing be arranged urgently?

Urgent cases can be assessed, but safe matching depends on the care scope, timing, location, and nurse availability. It helps to share the discharge plan and the exact care requirements as early as possible.

Is private home nursing the same as subsidised home nursing?

NurseLink is a private care option. Subsidised home nursing is arranged through a separate eligibility and referral process. Compare the care scope, availability and final charges for your circumstances.
