Eldercare Helpers

---

This option is only for elderly who requires only minor assistance in Activities of Daily Living (ADL), as the Foreign Domestic Worker (whose job scope is mainly household chores) 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 simple Mandarin, English, 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.
