Eldercare Helpers

---

​For elderly who require only some assistance in Activities of Daily Living (ADL), another option is to engage a trained Foreign Domestic Worker (FDW). The FDW will undergo 2 days of eldercare training in Singapore (in one of the AIC accredited agencies) before being deployed to the households. This training ensures that the FDW is equipped with the basic skills to care for your loved ones. There will also be a 3 hr home-based On-The-Job Training (OJT) at the employers' house to ensure that the FDW can apply the knowledge learnt.

​Our ElderCare Helpers are carefully selected based on:

• willingness and positive attitude in looking after the elderly
• communication skills (some are able to converse in Mandarin, Malay or other dialects)
• ​pleasant disposition

Training Costs

​$300 for the 2 days classroom training. Eligible care recipients can tap on the Caregivers Training Grant (CTG) to offset up to $200 of the On-The-Job Training (OJT) fee.
