- Meals prepared and fed on time, to dietary needs

Who it's for
When round-the-clock care makes sense
After a fall or hospital stay
When a parent is no longer safe alone and needs someone within reach around the clock during recovery.
Advancing dementia
When wandering, confusion or sundowning make unsupervised hours risky and a familiar presence keeps things calm.
Bedridden or fully dependent
When turning, feeding and hygiene are needed through the night as well as the day to prevent bed sores and complications.
NRI families
When children abroad need to know a trusted person is present every hour, with one point of contact reporting back.
Live-in or two shifts?
For a parent who is mostly settled but unsafe alone, a single live-in caregiver is usually the most economical safe choice. For a parent who needs active care through the night, such as turning every couple of hours, two shifts or a live-in with night cover keeps the caregiver rested and your parent safe. We help you pick the right structure rather than selling the most expensive one. If medical tasks are involved, we can add home nursing to the arrangement. See our live-in vs day-shift comparison for a fuller breakdown of which arrangement suits which situation.
A typical day
What the caregiver actually does, hour by hour
Every care plan is adjusted to your parent's routine and doctor's advice. This is the shape a typical 24-hour day tends to take.
- 6:00–8:00 amWake-up assistance, toileting, oral care, and help getting dressed. Morning medication reminder with a glass of water.
- 8:00–9:30 amBreakfast prepared to dietary needs and fed if required. Blood pressure or sugar check if the family has provided a monitor.
- 9:30–12:00 pmLight mobility support, a supervised walk in the house or garden, and assistance with bathing.
- 12:00–2:00 pmLunch, afternoon medication, and a rest period. The caregiver stays alert nearby.
- 2:00–5:00 pmCompanionship, conversation, reading aloud, or simply being present while the parent rests or watches television.
- 5:00–7:00 pmEvening walk if advised, light snacks, and preparation for the evening routine.
- 7:00–9:00 pmDinner, evening medication, and winding down for the night.
- 9:00 pm–6:00 amOvernight presence for toileting, repositioning if bedridden, and response to falls or distress. A live-in caregiver sleeps nearby and wakes as needed; where active care is required every couple of hours, we recommend two caregivers in alternating shifts instead of one exhausted person.
Caregivers support daily living tasks. Injections, wound dressing and other clinical procedures are handled by a qualified nurse, arranged separately if your parent's condition needs it. For anything medical, always follow your family doctor's instructions rather than the caregiver's judgement.
When it's not the right fit
24-hour care isn't always the answer
Round-the-clock cover is the right choice for some families and an unnecessary expense for others. Worth checking before you commit.
- Your parent is largely independent and only needs help with a few tasks, occasional visits or a few hours a day cost less and respect their independence more.
- The main need is company during work hours, not overnight supervision, a day-shift caregiver usually covers this at lower cost.
- You want a nurse to manage IV lines, injections or wound dressing, a caregiver supports daily living, not clinical procedures. We arrange a nurse alongside the caregiver for that.
- Your parent is firmly against having someone in the house overnight, forcing 24-hour care on a resistant parent often fails within weeks. A gradual start with day hours works better.
How it starts
Getting a caregiver in place
Free consultation call
We ask about your parent’s condition, daily routine, medical history and what has been difficult to manage. No cost, no obligation.
Care plan matched to the condition
Based on the call, we recommend a live-in caregiver, two shifts, or a caregiver plus nurse visits, whichever fits what your parent actually needs.
Caregiver introduction
You meet the shortlisted caregiver before they start. Every caregiver is identity-, address- and background-verified through third-party agencies, including Aadhaar and court-record checks, and the verification report is shared with you before onboarding.
Replacement if the fit is wrong
Round-the-clock care is a close, personal arrangement. If the caregiver and your parent are not a good match, tell us and we arrange a replacement.
