INTRODUCTION
This supplement presents the charges for full-paying patients in Nursing Homes current as at
December 2007. Subsidised patients are charged differently by Nursing Homes which admit
them, based on the level of subsidy accorded to them.
In Singapore, Nursing Homes are run by either the private sector or voluntary welfare sector
(VWOs). Patients who are found eligible for MOH subsidies are placed by Integrated Care
2
Services (ICS) into VWOs, and selected private nursing homes under the MOH portable
subsidy scheme. Patients who are not eligible for subsidies i.e. full-paying patients, can admit
themselves into any nursing home, which we classify into one of four types below:
a) Private Nursing Homes (which are not under the MOH portable subsidy scheme)
These are Private Nursing Homes, which cater to full-paying patients.
b) Private Nursing Homes which are under MOH portable subsidy scheme.
These Private Nursing Homes cater to full-paying patients but have set aside some of
their beds to be used by patients who are eligible for MOH subsidies and placed by
Integrated Care Services (ICS).

b) VWO Nursing Homes receiving MOH subsidies
These Nursing Homes serves primarily patients who are eligible for MOH subsidies and
placed by ICS.
To ensure ‘like-for-like’ comparison, the published charges are for full-paying (i.e. non-
subsidised) patients in the Voluntary Welfare Organisation (VWO) and private nursing homes,
and include Goods and Services Tax (GST).
With each nursing home, charges may vary according to bed-type (i.e. number of beds in the
ward) and category of nursing care (i.e. Category I to IV, which provides an indication of the
level of skilled nursing care required). Cat I patients require the least care, while Cat IV
patients require the most care and they therefore incur higher charges.
The functional status and care needs of patients under the four nursing care “Category” (i.e.
Cat I to IV) are shown in Table 1 below:

"Category"

Examples of activities of daily living that a patient may require assistance while in a Nursing
Home include mobility, feeding, toileting, etc.
