About Us
HCA Hospice (HCA) is Singapore’s largest home hospice care provider and a registered charity since 1989. We provide comfort and support to patients with life-limiting illnesses regardless of age, religion, ethnicity, nationality and financial status.
All of HCA’s services are provided at no charge, serving about 3,558 patients annually. Our core service, home hospice care, provides medical care for patients, as well as psychosocial support for patients and caregivers. A 24/7 hotline ensures help is available round-the-clock.
We are also an NCSS Centre of Specialisation for palliative care and we conduct palliative care training for our caregivers. Our 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).
