For Families & Employers
How does SingaCare select our caregivers?
-
Skills & Employment History
We review each candidate’s CV, certifications, and work timeline, verify roles and duties with recent supervisors, and confirm rehire status to ensure experience is genuine and relevant. -
Elderly Caregiving Experience / Training & Skills
Candidates undergo a structured interview on core care knowledge (ADLs, fall prevention, skin-integrity basics) and a practical assessment covering safe transfers, hygiene/diapering, and feeding safety. Where prior advanced skills are claimed, we validate them (e.g., NGT/PEG feeding, suctioning, catheter care) before listing those competencies. -
Language & Communication
We conduct live evaluations in the languages required, typically English, Mandarin, or dialects, checking comprehension, clarity, and the ability to “teach back” instructions in simple terms, with a calm, senior-friendly tone and pacing. -
Soft Skills & Attitude
Through behavioural questions and professional conduct during interviews, we assess patience, empathy, reliability, and openness to feedback. Any red flags in safety, honesty, or professionalism result in immediate disqualification or later deactivation.
Final step: We consolidate results across all four areas to approve, prescribe refresher training, or reject. Approved caregivers complete onboarding and are activated as “SingaCare-Ready,” followed by early post-placement check-ins to safeguard quality and safety.
Can I choose the caregiver that fits my family’s needs?
Yes. After your consultation, we recommend caregivers that match your requirements, and you can make the final choice.
