Nursing vs Attendant Care – What’s Right for Your Family in Gurgaon?
When you’re seeking professional home healthcare in Gurgaon, understanding the difference between a home nurse and a patient attendant is crucial. AtHomeCare offers both services with flexibility—based on the medical and personal needs of your loved one.
Attendant Care – Daily Support & Companionship
Patient attendants provide non-medical support. Their responsibilities include:
- Feeding and bathing assistance
- Help with mobility and walking
- Toileting, diaper change, and hygiene
- Medication reminders (no injections)
- Companionship and observation
✅ Ideal for: Seniors, bed-ridden patients, post-operative recovery with low complications.
Nursing Care – Skilled Medical Support at Home
Nurses at home are trained medical professionals. They handle:
- Vitals check, blood pressure, and sugar monitoring
- Injections, IV/IM/SC administration
- Wound dressing and catheter care
- Tracheostomy and PEG tube management
- Post-surgical medical protocols
✅ Ideal for: Critical care, post-surgery patients, chronic illness cases, or advanced medical needs.
