Question 1

Can you really place a caregiver on the day of discharge?

Accepted Answer

For most situations, yes — provided we have at least 24 hours’ notice. Discharge dates often shift; we plan for two scenarios (morning vs afternoon discharge) and the caregiver is briefed and on standby.

Question 2

What if discharge is sudden — same day notice?

Accepted Answer

We try. Same-day placement is harder but not impossible — Bangalore’s caregiver density is good. If we can’t place that day, we typically place by next morning. The caregiver doing a "second night" while you wait is rare.

Question 3

Should I arrange a nurse, a caretaker, or both?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the discharge. Cardiac, neuro, complex GI surgery, or any discharge with active drains/IV usually needs a nurse for at least week one, plus a caretaker. Orthopaedic, abdominal, or stable post-op typically needs a trained caretaker only with a visit nurse for occasional dressing.

Question 4

Do you coordinate with the hospital social worker / discharge planner?

Accepted Answer

Yes — most major Bangalore hospitals have discharge coordinators we work with regularly. We can speak directly to the discharge nurse or social worker if helpful, and they often refer families to us.

Question 5

Will my insurance cover this?

Accepted Answer

Skilled nursing for medically necessary post-discharge care is often covered under "domiciliary hospitalisation" clauses. Caretaker services typically aren’t. See our insurance guide for plan-specific notes — and we’ll provide the documentation needed for claims.

Question 6

How much does discharge home care typically cost?

Accepted Answer

A live-in caretaker for the first month is ₹18,000–₹26,000. Add 4–8 nurse visits in week one (₹600–₹1,200 each) for clinical needs. Complex cases requiring a live-in nurse run ₹35,000–₹55,000/month. Cost calculator can give a closer estimate.
