HCA Hospice (HCA) is Singapore’s largest home hospice care provider and a registered charity since 1989. Each year, HCA makes over 46,000 home visits, serving more than half of the home hospice patients in Singapore. We journey alongside patients with life-limiting illnesses regardless of age, religion, ethnicity, nationality and financial status.
Our compassionate care extends beyond medical support to include psychosocial and bereavement services for the family even after the patient has passed.
We create good days because every life should be celebrated, even at its end. Our patient-centered and family-focused model of care advocates dignity, diversity, and development for all individuals.
HCA’s range of services cater to individuals of all ages, from infants to the elderly, and includes a day hospice programme, as well as the only paediatric palliative home care programme in Singapore, Star PALS (Paediatric Advanced Life Support).
Our Medi-Help hotline ensures help is available 24/7, around the clock.
As an NCSS Centre of Specialisation for palliative care, we also conduct palliative care training for caregivers to equip them with the requisite skills.
All of HCA’s services are provided at no charge to patients and supported by the generosity of the community.
In the next five years, we aim to deepen the quality of patient-centred and family-focused hospice care through targeted care and support models. By adopting robust research principles and practices, we endeavour to establish HCA’s thought and practice leadership in the home hospice space.
To achieve these strategic directions, we are adopting a multi-pronged approach:
Prioritise depth and quality care.
Foster greater collaboration.
HCA Hospice exists to promote and provide skilled and compassionate hospice care of the highest quality, providing hands-on care and vital emotional support. We are also here for the people closest to our patients, offering support on all aspects of dying, death and bereavement.
