Elderly Caregiver
About Us
HomelyCare is a local home-support services company that was founded by two caregivers who know first-hand how hard it can be to care for a loved one while managing a home. We built HomelyCare to give families the dependable, caring help we once needed ourselves, through elder care, residential cleaning and grocery assistance. We're also proud to create flexible work opportunities for Singaporeans and PRs, so they can earn on their own terms while making a real difference to our ageing community.
