Subsidy framework for Non-Residential Long-Term Care Services

The Ministry of Health provides subsidies for eligible Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents who are receiving Non-Residential Long-Term Care (LTC) services.

Last updated 1 July 2026

What is Non-Residential Long-Term Care Services Subsidy?

The Ministry of Health provides subsidies for eligible Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents who are receiving Non-Residential Long-Term Care (LTC) services such as:

  • Active Rehabilitation

  • Centre-Based Nursing

  • Dementia Day Care

  • Home Medical

  • Home Nursing

  • Home Therapy

  • Home Personal Care

  • Maintenance Day Care

  • Maintenance Exercise

  • Meals On Wheels

  • Medical Escort and Transport

  • Psychiatric Day Rehabilitation

What are the benefits?

As announced at Budget and MOH’s Committee of Supply 2025, MOH has enhanced LTC subsidies since 1 July 2026 to ensure LTC services remain affordable.

Singapore Citizens can receive up to 80% subsidies for Non-Residential LTC services, with those born in 1969 or earlier being eligible for higher subsidies of up to 95%. Permanent Residents can receive up to 55% subsidies.

Subsidy levels are determined through household means-testing using Monthly Per Capita Household Income (PCHI)1 to account for the overall financial resources of the household to support the household members. For households with zero PCHI, the Annual Value2 of their residential property is used to determine subsidy levels.

The current subsidy framework for Non-Residential LTC services is as shown below:

Effective as of 1 Jul 2026

1 Monthly PCHI is computed as the total gross household monthly income divided by the total number of family members living together in the household. Gross monthly household income includes basic employment income, trade/self-employed income, overtime pay, allowances, cash awards, commissions, and bonuses.

2 Annual Value is the estimated gross annual rent of a property if it were to be rented out, excluding furnishings and maintenance fees. It is determined by IRAS, and may be checked via IRAS website. Subsidy levels in 2026 will be determined using 2025 Annual Values.

Who is eligible?

Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents receiving Non-Residential LTC services by government-funded providers are eligible for the subsidies.

How do I apply?

Persons who require Non-Residential LTC services can approach their doctor at the hospital or polyclinic, or AIC, for assistance in applying for admission to a subsidised Non-Residential LTC service.
