FAQ
How much does a nursing home cost in Malaysia per month?
Typical private homes charge about RM 2,000 to RM 4,500 for a shared room and RM 3,000 to RM 6,500 or more for a private room. Bed-bound and dementia care cost more. Always ask what is excluded, such as diapers or physiotherapy.
What is the difference between a nursing home and an elderly care centre?
A nursing home is licensed by the Ministry of Health to provide nursing care. An elderly care centre is registered with JKM for basic living care and may not provide medical or nursing care.
How do I know if a nursing home is licensed?
Ask to see the MOH licence or JKM registration certificate and check its expiry date. You can also confirm with the state health department or JKM. Reports say many homes operate unlicensed.
Does insurance cover nursing home fees?
Standard medical insurance usually does not cover long-term residential care. Some long-term care or critical illness policies and employer benefits may help. Check your policy.
