ElderShield is an insurance scheme introduced by the Ministry of Health (MOH) to provide financial help to those who are unable to take care of themselves because of severe disabilities.

As many as 1 in 12 elderly persons suffer from disabilities as a result of aging and illness which make them incapable of doing simple everyday activities. These people need long term care which can be expensive and may require financial help.

ElderShield provides a cash payout of every month to those who are severely disabled, those who are not able to do 3 or more of the following Activities of Daily Living - washing, feeding, dressing, toileting, mobility and transferring.

This sum of money will reduce the financial burden of patients and their families as it can be used to pay for nursing and medical care at home or in institutions.
