In one paragraph
Home nursing in Bangalore typically costs ₹600–₹1,200 per nurse visit, ₹1,200–₹1,800 for a 12-hour shift, and ₹35,000–₹55,000/month for a live-in nurse. Specialist (ICU, ventilator) care runs higher; a live-in caretaker plus weekly nurse visits is often 30–40% cheaper for stable patients.
Nursing arrangements
These are the indicative ranges across Bangalore. Final pricing depends on the patient’s clinical complexity and the experience level the case requires.
| Arrangement | Best for | Indicative range |
|---|---|---|
| Single nurse visit | Wound dressing · IV · injections · catheter change | ₹600 – ₹1,200per visit |
| 12-hour shift | Daytime monitoring, post-surgery recovery, oxygen support | ₹1,200 – ₹1,800per shift |
| 24-hour shift cover | Critical recovery requiring continuous nursing | ₹2,200 – ₹3,000per day |
| Live-in nurse (monthly) | Long-term medical-grade care at home | ₹35,000 – ₹55,000per month |
| ICU-grade nurse (live-in) | Tracheostomy, ventilator, post-stroke complex care | ₹55,000 – ₹85,000per month |
Often a better fit
If the patient doesn’t need procedural medical care, a caretaker is the right choice, significantly more affordable, and equally capable for hygiene, feeding, mobility, and companionship.
| Arrangement | Indicative range |
|---|---|
| Caretaker visit (4 hours) | ₹400 – ₹700per visit |
| 12-hour shift caretaker | ₹800 – ₹1,200per day |
| Live-in caretaker (monthly) | ₹18,000 – ₹26,000per month |
| Trained attendant (live-in) | ₹24,000 – ₹34,000per month |

The economics
For most stable patients, continuing recovery at home is dramatically less expensive than staying in hospital, and far better for psychological recovery.
Excludes nursing, food, medication
Plus consumables, often 3–5× higher
Familiar surroundings, family present
For stable patients with weekly clinical needs
No hidden charges
The placement fee and arrangement covers the matching, verification, and ongoing support. Medical consumables, equipment, and medication are real costs we don’t add a margin on.

What decides your quote
We don’t publish a single price because home nursing isn’t a single service. These are the questions that actually determine what a placement costs, in order of how much they typically move the number.
A few hours for a wound dressing or an injection costs differently from someone in the home for a full shift. The first question we ask is how many hours a day actually need a trained person present, families sometimes assume they need round-the-clock cover when a few structured hours would do.
Night cover carries its own considerations because it usually means a dedicated person just for the overnight hours, on top of daytime cover if that is also needed. Full 24-hour cover is typically arranged as two or more staff rotating shifts, not one person working around the clock.
A wound dressing, an IV line or a tracheostomy needs a trained nurse. Help with bathing, feeding and mobility for a stable patient can be handled by a trained attendant. Getting this distinction right at the start avoids paying for a clinical skill set the patient doesn’t actually need, or under-resourcing a case that does.
Hospital beds, oxygen concentrators, suction machines and similar equipment are usually rented from a separate medical equipment supplier, not bundled into the nursing or attendant arrangement. Knowing this upfront means the family can budget for equipment rental and staffing as two separate lines rather than one.
A short post-surgery recovery period is a different conversation from an ongoing, long-term placement. Longer commitments tend to suit the caregiver as much as the family, since it removes the churn of repeated short placements, and that stability is one of the things we factor into the quote we give.
What happens if the nurse or attendant doesn’t work out matters as much as the initial cost. Our 3-month and 11-month plans include free replacements, which is worth asking about directly since it affects the real cost of a placement that needs to be restarted.
