What is ElderCare Fund?

 elderCare

The ElderCare Fund is an endowment fund set up by the Singapore Government using budget surplus to sustain financing for eldercare.

 

The interest earned is used to subsidize nursing home care for the elderly run by Voluntary Welfare Organizations.

 

Prior to ElderCare Fund, subsidies were paid directly from the Government’s budget.
