What affects the cost
Five things determine what you’ll pay each month.
Level of care needed
Independent or light-assistance care costs less than high-dependency care. Residents who are bedridden or need close medical support need more staff time, so fees are higher.
Room type
A shared room is the most affordable option; a semi-private or private room costs more for the added comfort and privacy.
Medical & clinical needs
Specialised needs — tube feeding (NG/PEG), tracheostomy care, oxygen support, wound care or physiotherapy — add to the cost because they require trained staff and supplies.
Length of stay
Short-term or respite stays are usually charged differently from long-term care. Day care is the most affordable option of all.
Location & facility
Fees vary by area and by the facility itself — newer premises, more amenities and lower resident-to-caregiver ratios generally cost more.
Transparent pricing from RM2,500/month
