There will be more of such nursing homes popping up around our little island as we have a rapidly aging population… having a helper to manage while having a few days a week at the nursing home is quite ideal… it’s gives the caregiver some space to breathe and also the elderly to socialize.

Yes, this is my purpose of sending my dad to the Senior Care Centre once a week. We take it that he is going to the school to exercise, watch tv prog, read newspapers, look around and chit chat with the seniors while helper can take a break or run some errands like her 6 mth ME.

I used to hv my gfrd visit me every Wed k Fri when she send her MIL to nearby St Luke’s for exercises till her later demise. Seems when she’s doing exercises there, she’s very happy & even recognizes me when I paid her a visit. The staff there helps them socialize & jokes. Happy place!

Appreciate advice or assistance, pls.


Dad’s helper will be going for her home leave in P. She said there is a 6 pg form to complete before submission.

We can’t locate this form from P embassy website.

Anybody who DIY for P helper’s home leave?

If there is any agent who is willing to settle the paperwork for us and we don’t need to around, and charge a small fee, pls PM me.

Thank you…

Some of the agent fees include the OWWA/POEA fees, which are not free either lol

For families with a Filipino helper, I doubt anybody has DIY for her home leave (ie return to Philippines for 2 wks then back to Spore to continue working) bec the process seems too much to handle.


Today I went to some maid agencies opposite Beauty World MRT. I was quoted a range of cost from $330 to $480.

A kind mum suggested an agency which quoted me $260 though location a bit far as I live in the west.

I still hv some time to search for lower quotes (am I crazy to spend time on such when I can spend on watching kdrama or cdrama etc ) as helper will be returning in late Sep.
