Best Nursing Homes in Singapore

Best Nursing Homes in Singapore

The best nursing homes in Singapore for most families are the large, established operators: ECON Healthcare, Ling Kwang Home, NTUC Health, Peacehaven and Thye Hua Kwan. Each offers 24-hour nursing care and accepts MOH-subsidised residents. Before subsidies, basic nursing home care starts from about $3,900 a month, according to the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC). For a homelier private setting, Red Crowns runs assisted-living co-living homes. RetireGenie helps families compare and arrange a place. We re-checked every listing in October 2026.

What’s changed in 2026

  • In March 2026, TPG grouped ECON Healthcare and Orange Valley Nursing Homes under a new platform, One Aged Care. Both still run under their own brands.
  • We removed Growing Needs, Homage and SupportGoWhere. None of them runs a residential nursing home.
  • Red Crowns has a new phone number: +65 3105 2255.
  • Thye Hua Kwan’s nursing homes are in Hougang and Tanjong Katong, not Jurong West as we said before.
  • We added Orange Valley and Ren Ci, two established nursing home operators with several locations each.

What should you look for in a nursing home in Singapore?

Start with the level of care your loved one needs. Some homes have dedicated dementia wards. Others focus on rehabilitation after a stroke or fall.

Next, check the cost and whether you qualify for subsidies. MOH subsidies apply to Singapore Citizens and PRs, and are means-tested on household income. Subsidised places need a referral from a hospital, polyclinic or medical social worker.

Location matters more than people expect. A home near family makes regular visits easier. Finally, ask about staffing, therapy, activities and visiting hours, and visit in person before deciding.
