Nursing home fees is b4 subsidies....??

 

[EDMW-Hates-Me]

Hire helper 1k+ including food and stuff. Can help your mother too if she needs. Can see your father often and no need to travel to visit him.

Helper is more cost effective.

If money is not an issue then best will be nursing home like st Luke or tai hua guan. Reason is they have nurses for physiotherapy.
If employ FDW can appeal from MP for subsidize WP fees.
Either way if you dun have siblings to help out, U will be mentally and financially shag. Been thru this 6-7 yrs ago.
Opt 1 of elder care also not long term, best is 6-12 months and then you have time to prepare your house for wheelchair friendly access, find FDW

If money not an issue should just buy land and build a nursing home dedicated for this person.

option 1 is out.

Hiring helper is the most cost effective if you have extra space for the helper.

Helper levy is $60. Then u can pay slightly more for helper with experience.


Option 3 : expensive and u & your mom cant see your dad. This is bad.

 

[deathan9el]

option 3 is $3K min per month?

I engaged helper to take care of ky dementia mum. I am only child and my mum's brothers and sisters did not lend me a helping hand. Through my friend who operates a maid agency, I hired a Myanmar helper. Talk to social worker recently about sending my mum to a home and was told I can't get much of the subsidies as I am a middle class family. The home after 25% subsidy will be around 3 to 4k... Talk to my mum's doctor and was told talk to gov loh... they don't seem to care much on the caregivers.

tbh hire maid although cheaper but u have to manage the maid...its very tough n maid r not trained professional..

 

[jericho75]

helper got helper issues. some kpkb the hard work dun wanna work. some borrow money run road also have.

if u are maid u wanna look after kids or older ppl that cannot move?

Nursing home can give him the best of care with the highest amount of subsidies.

Even if you were to outsource the caregiving to a helper, it is a matter of time before she cannot take the stress, and that will give you another set of problems..

if your dad requires assistance with his ADLs,

below are the schemes that you can apply for him, check with your social workers if he meets the criteria,
