Professional Caregiving at Home: The gentleHelp x White Angels Partnership

Having a domestic helper is a great start, but having a trained one is what truly provides peace of mind. At gentleHelp, we believe that professional skills shouldn’t be a luxury for Singaporean families.

That is why we have partnered with White Angels Caregivers, a professional training provider, to offer specialized, hands-on Caregiver Training specifically for migrant domestic workers (MDWs).

Why Home-Based Training Matters

Caregiving is a physical and emotional challenge that requires more than just good intentions. Without the right techniques, helpers risk injuring themselves or the elderly during daily routines.

Through our partnership, your helper receives a 2 to 3-hour, 1-to-1 session conducted right in the comfort of your own home. Instead of a generic classroom setting, a professional Nurse or Physiotherapist provides hands-on guidance tailored specifically to the unique needs of your loved one (Ah Ma or Ah Gong) and the actual layout of your house.

Comprehensive Training Modules

The training is designed to cover the most critical aspects of home-based nursing and eldercare, including:

• Hygiene & Personal Care: Professional assistance in showering, toileting, and dressing.
• Mobility & Fall Prevention: Proper transferring techniques (from bed to wheelchair) and identifying fall risks within the home.
• Specialized Medical Care: Expert guidance on Dementia Care, as well as technical skills like NGT (Nasogastric tube) feeding and PEG feeding.
• Safety Management: Learning to spot complications before they become emergencies.

Only $10 with the Caregivers’ Training Grant (CTG)

We want to make professional training accessible for every household. Most Singaporean families are eligible for the Caregivers’ Training Grant (CTG), which provides a $200 annual subsidy for caregiving courses.

If the care recipient (your elderly parent) is eligible and has a sufficient grant balance, the cash co-payment for this professional session is only $10.

How to Get Started: The gentleHelp 3-Step Process

At gentleHelp, we handle the administrative heavy lifting so you can focus on your family:

1. Grant Verification: We help you check the available CTG balance for your care recipient.
2. Seamless Documentation: Upon confirmation, we prepare and submit all required documents to the training provider on your behalf.
3. Direct Coordination: White Angels Caregivers will contact you directly to arrange a date and time that fits your family’s schedule.

Conclusion

Investing in your helper’s skills is an investment in your parent’s safety and dignity. With gentleHelp and White Angels Caregivers, you can ensure that the help you receive at home is professional, compassionate, and affordable.
