What is elderly care at home?
Elderly care at home is personal and practical support for older adults so they can stay in their own homes safely. A trained attendant helps with bathing, dressing, toileting, meals, walking and companionship, and reminds the person to take medicines. When there are clinical needs, such as injections, wounds or tube feeding, a nurse can be added.
Many families in Bangalore reach this point gradually. A parent becomes unsteady after a fall, forgets medicines, stops eating properly when alone, or finds bathing difficult. Sometimes the change is sudden, after a hospital stay. In both cases, the aim is the same: to keep the person comfortable and independent for as long as possible, without asking family members to give up work or move cities.
Ashok Healthcare matches each family with an attendant whose temperament, language and experience suit the older person. We then set a simple daily routine and review it as needs change.
Support we provide for older adults
Daily support is planned around the older person's routine, preferences and safety.
Meals, medicines and health checks
- Feeding support and help following the diet the doctor has advised.
- Medicine reminders according to the prescription and a daily record.
- Blood pressure, pulse and blood sugar checks, with readings recorded for the family and doctor.
Mobility and fall prevention
- Help getting in and out of bed, chairs and the bathroom.
- Supervised walks indoors or outside, using a walker or stick if prescribed.
- Simple home safety checks, such as loose rugs, poor lighting and bathroom grab rails.
Memory and companionship
- Patient, consistent routines for people living with dementia or Parkinson's disease.
- Conversation, reading, light activities and accompanying the person to appointments.
- Calm handling of confusion, especially in the evenings.
Attendant or nurse: which does your parent need?
Most older adults need an attendant, who supports daily living. A nurse is needed when there are clinical tasks such as injections, catheter care, wound care, tube feeding or close monitoring of a medical condition. Some families start with an attendant and add nursing visits only when required. Our assessment helps you choose the right level of care and avoid paying for more than your parent needs.
Physiotherapy for older adults
Gentle, supervised exercise can improve strength, balance and confidence. Our physiotherapists can visit to plan a safe exercise programme that the attendant then helps with each day. Contact our coordinator to discuss geriatric physiotherapy at home.

Frequently asked questions
What does an elderly care attendant do?
An attendant helps with bathing, dressing, toileting, meals, walking, medicine reminders and companionship. Attendants do not perform clinical procedures such as injections or catheter changes; a nurse is needed for those.
Can I book care for a few hours a day?
Most families choose 12-hour day or night shifts or live-in care. Contact us to discuss your family's schedule and care needs.
Is 24-hour live-in care available?
Yes. A live-in attendant stays at home with agreed rest breaks. If your parent needs active help through the night, a separate night attendant may be safer.
Do your attendants have experience with dementia?
We assign attendants with experience caring for people with memory problems when the assessment shows this is needed.
How do you check attendants' backgrounds?
The company states that staff go through identity and police verification. You are welcome to meet the attendant before care begins.
What if my parent does not get along with the attendant?
Tell us. We will discuss the concern and, if needed, arrange a different attendant.
How much does elderly care at home cost in Bangalore?
Charges depend on whether you need an attendant or a nurse and the shift length. Contact our coordinator for an assessment and current charges.
