HCA Hospice (HCA) is Singapore’s largest home hospice care provider and a registered charity since 1989. Each year, HCA makes over 43,000 home visits, serving more than half of the home hospice patients in Singapore. We provide comfort and support to individuals with life-limiting illnesses regardless of age, religion, ethnicity, nationality and financial status.
Our care extends beyond the medical and psychosocial support we provide, as we journey alongside them throughout this end-of-life chapter, providing bereavement support even after the patient has passed.
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). All of HCA’s services are provided at no charge to patients, enabled by philanthropy and government grants.
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.
At the heart of HCA are the human connections forged with patients, families, donors and volunteers. We believe that life should be celebrated at its end, and advocate for the dignity, diversity, and development of an individual through a patient-centered and family-focused model of care, making each day A Good Day with HCA.
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.
