HCA Hospice Care (HCA) is Singapores largest home hospice care provider and is a registered charity since 1989. The organisation provides comfort and support to patients with life-limiting illnesses regardless of age, religion, ethnicity, nationality and financial status.
HCA’s core service, home hospice care, is provided at no charge to about 3,700 patients annually. Besides medical care for patients, this service also entails psychological support for patients and caregivers. A 24/7 hotline ensures help is available round-the-clock.
HCA is an NCSS Centre of Specialisation for palliative care and conducts palliative care training for its patients’ caregivers. Its other services and programmes include day hospice care, paediatric palliative care (Star PALS), bereavement support and outreach programmes such as the Young Caregivers Programme (yCG).
Our day hospice care centres see to a patient’s needs away from home, catering to patients who are able to walk or are safely mobile in a wheelchair and do not require 24-hour nursing assistance.
Star PALS (Paediatric Advanced Life Support) is a service dedicated to improving the quality of life for children and minors up to 19 years of age, with life-threatening or life-limiting conditions. This may range from neurological or congenital conditions to childhood cancers.
The Young Caregivers Programme (yCG) aims to:
Raise awareness about eldercare issues
Inculcate values of empathy
Emphasise the importance of building intergenerational relationships
With interactive workshops and Values-In-Action sessions, students are inspired and encouraged to evaluate their own family situations, harness their innate abilities and hidden talents and channel them into positive actions.
