NUHS@Home begins with a referral from a patient's doctor at our hospitals' emergency departments and selected hospital wards across NUHS. After being assessed by our team for suitability, we will enroll eligible patients who choose to participate in this programme and provide the appropriate medical care they need in their homes.

How Does NUHS@Home Work?
Our NUHS@Home team will assess your needs and safety to ensure that you are suitable to receive hospitalisation care at home.
Once you are accepted into our programme, our team will make all the arrangements, and you can start your home recovery journey.
Doctors will monitor your care and oversee your treatment and check on your recovery process through daily video consultations or home visits where necessary.
Nurses will come to your home. During these home visits, they will carry out procedures such as blood tests or administer IV drips as well as regular medical checks.
If your condition requires, we can bring physio and occupational therapy, rehabilitation and even nutrition support to your home.
Patients are required to:
- Stay at home throughout the treatment period for their own safety.
- Remain contactable at all times so that our medical team can carry out their care.
- Assist our team by taking the medications as prescribed and monitor your own vital signs such as blood pressure, sugar and oxygen levels as instructed.
