Active Global Specialised Caregivers

What Active Global Specialised Caregivers does

Active Global Specialised Caregivers Pte Ltd, founded in 2013 in Singapore by Yorelle Kalika, is a privately-held home and community care provider serving elderly and disabled individuals and their families. It pioneered professional live-in caregiver services in Singapore and now operates as two entities — Active Global Specialised Caregivers Pte Ltd and wholly-owned Active Global Respite Care Pte Ltd — with a parallel Hong Kong entity. Its core service is placing foreign-trained nurses (recruited from the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Indonesia) as live-in caregivers in private homes, supported by six full-time Nurse-Trainers and a proprietary care methodology called the Active Global Holistic Caregiving Plan™.

The company runs a multi-vertical care platform spanning three operational Senior Care Centres (Ghim Moh Edge, Telok Blangah ParcView, and Fernvale Glades, opened September 2023), Ministry of Health-accredited subsidised home care services (Home Personal Care, Home Nursing, Home Medical, Home Therapy), private nursing, home medical via a partnership with Speedoc Pte Ltd, home dialysis, physiotherapy, and speech therapy. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through a 24/7 hotline, walk-in consultations at the Novena headquarters, website inquiries, hospital/AIC referrals, and Senior Care Centre walk-ins. Technology is minimal: standard healthcare operations, VOIP telephony, and third-party coordination tools; the primary proprietary asset is the trademarked care plan rather than a software platform.

Revenue mechanics are mixed. Live-in caregiver placement fees are one-time charges of S$2,725–S$3,597 (with GST), with caregivers paid S$600–S$1,000 monthly by clients. Private nursing is sold in bundle packages or hourly (S$27.50–S$62.60). Home medical house calls via Speedoc are usage-based at S$170–S$420. Senior Care Centre day care is means-tested and subsidised by MOH. The company carries an EA Licence (13C6324), bizSAFE Level 4, and MOH accreditation. A 2018 investment by Luminous Ventures is the only disclosed funding event, and a 2021 employee-negligence incident led to a fine against the respite care subsidiary.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Regional players

• HelperChoice: Hong Kong-based marketplace for foreign domestic helpers and caregivers, with regional presence across Asia. Closest comparable to Active Global's foreign live-in caregiver placement model from a HK-origin perspective, with similar MOM/Immigration counterpart dynamics.
• St Luke's Eldercare: Singapore elder care charity operating senior care centres, day rehab, and home care services. Comparable on MOH-subsidised day care and home personal care offerings, with similar AIC referral pathways.

Broad incumbents

• Tsao Foundation: Singapore-based non-profit providing community-based elder care, geriatric case management, and caregiver support. Comparable in elder care navigation and training methodology, with overlapping MOH/Agency for Integrated Care partnerships.
• Pacific Healthcare Nursing Home: Singapore-listed elder care operator running nursing homes and limited home care services. Comparable on elder care delivery and MOH-regulated services, but skewed toward facility-based rather than live-in home care.
• NTUC Health Co-operative: Singapore's largest community healthcare provider offering home personal care, nursing, day care, and senior care centres. Overlaps on subsidised home care and day care, but operates as a co-operative at much larger scale than Active Global.
• Econ Healthcare Group: Long-established Singapore elder care operator running nursing homes and home care services. Comparable on home personal care and elder care, but broader (facility-based) and more institutional than Active Global's live-in-focused model.

Direct peers

• Jaga-Me: Singapore-based home nursing and caregiving services platform providing on-demand skilled and non-skilled care. Overlaps with Active Global's subsidised home care, home nursing, and home therapy offerings, with a digital booking layer Active Global lacks.
• Homage: Singapore-headquartered on-demand home care platform matching trained caregivers and nurses to elderly and disabled clients. Competes directly with Active Global on home personal care and private nursing, differentiated by a tech-enabled matching model rather than foreign live-in placement.

Emerging players

• Speedoc: Singapore home medical services platform providing doctor house calls, mobile diagnostics, and IV therapy. Active Global's named partner (Speedoc delivers Active Global's home medical revenue stream), and a partial overlap on home medical and home dialysis adjacencies.
• CaregiverAsia: Singapore-headquartered caregiver marketplace connecting families with freelance caregivers and nurses. Targets the same SMB/individual buyer as Active Global but via a marketplace model rather than agency placement.
