Not Every Patient Needs the Same Kind of Home Care
Choosing the wrong level of care can be unsafe. Before arranging a caregiver, it is important to understand the difference between an attendant, a nurse, and a physiotherapist.

- Motor skill improvement
Home ICU Setup

- Cardiac monitoring
- Oxygen administration
- 24/7 clinical presence
What Does a Patient Caregiver Actually Do?
Instead of a generic list of services, here is what a normal shift typically involves. The exact routine depends on the care plan agreed upon with the family.
See Our Process| Time of Day | Typical Responsibilities |
|---|---|
| Morning | Assisting with waking up, personal hygiene, bathing/toileting, changing clothes, preparing for breakfast, feeding assistance, and room preparation. |
| Daytime | Meal preparation and feeding, hydration assistance, mobility support, walking, companionship, repositioning for bedridden patients, and communicating observations to the family. |
| Evening | Personal care, dinner assistance, preparing the patient for rest, hygiene routines, and mobility assistance before bed. |
| Night | Overnight support includes assistance with toileting, repositioning, and monitoring. (Note: For 24-hour care, staff are assigned in shifts to ensure the caregiver is alert). |

What Happens Before We Send a Caregiver?
A structured process ensures you get the right support for your specific situation.
Understand the Situation
We collect information about the patient’s age, diagnosis, mobility, dependency level, location, and preferred hours.
Identify Care Category
Based on your inputs, we determine whether an attendant, a nurse, or physiotherapy is the appropriate starting point.
Match & Assign Staff
We consider factors like the patient’s condition and gender preference to match the most suitable caregiver.
Caregiver Introduction
The assigned caregiver is introduced to the family, and the care plan and daily routine are established.
Ongoing Support
If the patient’s condition changes, or if you need to adjust hours, our care coordinators are available to manage transitions.

Serving Families Across Lucknow
AtHomeCare provides patient care services across major residential and medical hubs in Lucknow. Needs vary by location; for example, families in Gomti Nagar or Indira Nagar often request short-term post-operative support, while families in Aliganj or Mahanagar may require longer-duration elderly care.
Our teams also routinely coordinate care for families in Alambagh, Hazratganj, Chinhat, Faizabad Road, Kanpur Road, and along Shaheed Path.
Realistic Care Scenarios
These examples illustrate how care is structured based on different family situations.
Example 1: Elderly Parent, Working Children
An 78-year-old mother with general weakness lives with her son and daughter-in-law, who both work. A 12-hour daytime attendant is assigned to assist with bathing, meals, and mobility, ensuring she is never left alone and at risk of falls during the day.
Example 2: Post-Surgery Recovery
A patient returns home after orthopaedic surgery. The family arranges a nurse for the first week to manage the surgical dressing and pain medication, transitioning to an attendant for the following weeks to help with mobility and household routines.
Example 3: Family Living Outside Lucknow
A bedridden stroke patient’s children live in Delhi. They arrange 24-hour shift care. The local AtHomeCare supervisor visits weekly, and the caregivers send daily routine updates via phone to the family in Delhi.
What Affects the Cost of Patient Care?
We do not believe in publishing misleading “starting from” prices, as every patient’s needs are different. Cost is calculated transparently based on:
8-hour, 12-hour, or 24-hour care
Attendant/GDA vs Trained Nurse
Semi-independent vs fully bedridden
Day shift vs Night shift
