      I ever think of changing helper to save some cost but guess I wont hv the courage to take up this challenge.

      I will move on; focus to earn more $$ to fund all these expenses.

      As said, having a helper is a necessity and is no longer a luxury.

        I’m sure u pay lower levy for yr helper as caregiver to elderly? FDW Levy Concession enables u to pay a lower concessionary FDW levy of $60 a month.

        Did u get the Home Caregiving Grant (HCG) of $200 per mth?

                In late Jan 2023, I signed up for a caregiver training organised by Jaga Me for my helper who looks after my dad.
                I find the assigned nurse who came to my dad's home is professional and knowledgeable.

                This Jaga-Me agency is also recommended by SASC which my dad attends his weekly session.

                      Another Agency to check out for Elderly care is CareLink, their nurses will train your helpers to look after your Elderly parents at home tailored to their specific needs. I find their cost to be reasonable and definitely better than those $15 courses that are being offered.

                        Hi


                        Need some advice on this please.

                        I received WhatsApp and calls from different numbers yesterday with regard to my helper’s loan including copy of her work permit. The pax threaten to come to my place to collect $. Helper denied but admitted it happened in the past but loan paid.
                        There is plan to discontinue her service sometime this year, before this incident happen which we are considering to bring it forward.

                        What should we do now as I don’t want my family and me to be pestered?

                        Thank you.
