Care Services

Patient Care Attendant

Patient care attendants are the step up from elder care. You work with patients freshly discharged from hospital, or with chronic conditions managed at home — stroke, cardiac, post-surgery, cancer recovery. You’re not a nurse. But you’re trained to track vitals, manage feeding tubes under nursing supervision, observe wound areas, and watch for the small signs that something is changing. You work under a care manager and a nurse for clinical questions. If you’ve worked as a hospital attendant before, or trained as a GDA (General Duty Assistant), this is a direct fit. Pay is higher than elder care because the skill ceiling is.

Responsibilities

  • Track vitals — BP, sugar, temperature, SpO₂ — and log them in the app.
  • Feed orally, or assist with NG/RT feeding under nurse supervision.
  • Observe surgical sites and wound areas; report any change immediately.

  • Mobility coaching — bed to chair, chair to walker, supervised walks.
  • Coordinate with the family’s physiotherapist when they visit.
  • Medication adherence with timing logs.
  • Hydration and nutrition tracking, including intake/output for some patients.
  • Daily care reports shared with family and treating doctor (with consent).
  • Escalate immediately on warning signs — fever, breathlessness, swelling, confusion.
  • Maintain infection-control practices: hand hygiene, glove use, linen change.

Requirements

  • 12th standard pass, or equivalent.
  • Some healthcare exposure — hospital attendant, ANM dropout, GDA course, etc.
  • Comfort reading basic medication labels in English.
  • Spoken comfort in two of: Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, English.
  • Physical fitness to lift or assist a patient with mobility.
