10 Best Nursing Home in Singapore for Around the Clock Care for Seniors [2023]

A country with a rapidly ageing population, Singapore ranks third among other countries with the lowest fertility rate in the world despite having one of the highest life expectancies.

It is estimated by 2035, around 32% of Singaporeans will be aged 65 and above. This gives rise to a problem of a shrinking workforce faced with immense pressure to support an ageing population. In other words, fewer elderly will be able to rely on family care in their golden years.

Hence, a nursing home is an ideal solution for families who struggle to give proper medical attention and care for their seniors at home on top of having to balance their careers and meeting the needs of the rest of their families.

We have put together the 10 Best Nursing Home in Singapore to help you to make an informed decision when it comes to finding the best nursing homes for your elderly at home.
