Talk to your loved one and family to select a suitable respite care option, based on preferences on location, and duration of care. You do not need to pre-enrol if your loved one is already visiting a senior day care centre. Please approach your regular day care provider should your loved one require respite care.
Apply for Household Means Testing (if applicable)
If your loved one is a Singaporean or Permanent Resident, and lives in a household where the monthly per capita income is $2,800 and below, he/she may be eligible for government subsidies. You will need to complete a household means test when you pre-enrol, if you do not currently have a valid means test or your current means test validity is expiring.
Please note that household means test for community care services differs from the means test that is done for inpatient services in the hospitals. If you wish to find out more about household means testing, click here or download the
