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 Personal Care
Maintenance Day Care
Maintenance Exercise
Meals On Wheels
Medical Escort and Transport
Psychiatric Day Rehabilitation
What are the benefits?
Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents can receive up to 80% and 55% subsidies for Non-Residential LTC services respectively.
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:
Current Subsidy Levels for Non-Residential LTC Services
Monthly Per Capita Household Income (PCHI)1 | Singapore Citizen | Permanent Resident |
|---|---|---|
No PCHI | Annual Value2 ≤ $21,000: 80% | Annual Value ≤ $21,000: 55% |
$900 and below | 80% | 55% |
$901 to $1,500 | 75% | 50% |
$1,501 to $2,300 | 60% | 40% |
$2,301 to $2,600 | 50% | 30% |
$2,601 to $3,600 | 30% | 15% |
