For Carers
How can we help you!
Home Placement Support for new Carers & Foreign Domestic Workers
The first few weeks of a new Carer's journey have the steepest learning curve, which can be challenging and stressful. Unintentional mistakes and accidents can remain as traumatic memories, shaking our self-confidence.
Our Home Placement Support for new Carers will help to ensure a smooth transition back home, minimising any hiccups as everyone settles into their new routine.
Because sometimes, all we need is some reassurance to stop second-guessing ourselves.
Home placement support includes:
Review of Carer's skills against care needs
Assessment of the Home Environment
Equipment prescription
Access to a curated directory of online resources for Carers
Caregiver Skills Review & Training - Singaporeans & FDWs (Foreign Domestic Workers)
Over time, the care needs of our loved ones may change. New issues may arise that are beyond our existing skills and techniques.
Because home is where they spend most of their time, a skills review and training conducted in their home environment is the most practical approach to ensuring that care needs are still met.
Targeted training & education includes:
Caregiver consciousness and resilience counselling
Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) training (Dressing, Showering, Toileting, Personal Hygiene, Feeding)
Ambulation training with/without assistive devices
Wheelchair training and safety management
Safe transferring of patient with/without assistive devices (including car transfer)
Handling dementia and its progression
Other caregiving challenges
Assessment of the Home Environment
It may surprise you to know that a high percentage of falls actually happen at home.
Beyond installing grab bars and ramps, there is a lot more that can be done to make our homes a safer place for our loved ones. Safety strategies should be taught to family members sharing the living space so that everyone can help to maintain a safe home environment.
Targeted home assessment includes:
Home safety assessment with tailored recommendations
Falls prevention strategies
ADLs optimisation
Consultation and working with customers' choice ID/contractor for home renovation
Equipment Prescription

Accurate prescription of assistive devices compatible to both the Carer and the Care Recipient
ADLs assistive devices e.g. hospital beds, commode, shower chairs, grab bars, specialized utensils for eating & cooking, specialized grooming/dressing devices, ramps, etc.
Walking aids & wheelchairs
