Ashok Healthcare · Yeshwanthpur, Bengaluru
Ashok Healthcare provides registered nurses who carry out clinical care at home, from injections and IV fluids to wound dressing, catheter care and tube feeding. Choose a 12-hour day or night shift, or a 24-hour live-in nurse, planned around your doctor's instructions.
Home nursing is skilled clinical care given by a qualified nurse in the patient's home instead of a hospital ward. A home nurse can give prescribed injections and IV fluids, dress wounds, manage catheters and feeding tubes, monitor vital signs and recognise when a patient needs a doctor. It suits patients who are medically stable but still need professional nursing.
For many families in Bangalore, the need arises suddenly. A father is discharged with a urinary catheter and a course of IV antibiotics. A mother comes home from hospital with a feeding tube. An older relative is bedridden after a fall and is developing pressure sores. In each case, the family can manage meals and company, but the clinical tasks need a trained hand.
Ashok Healthcare arranges nurses from our base in Yeshwanthpur. Before we assign anyone, our coordinator reads the discharge summary and prescriptions, asks about the home and the family's routine, and then matches a nurse whose training fits the tasks involved.
Clinical procedures are provided according to the patient's prescriptions and nursing instructions.
A 12-hour nurse works either a day or a night shift. This suits patients who need clinical tasks at set times, such as morning injections and dressings, while family members cover the other half of the day. A 24-hour live-in nurse stays at the home and is available around the clock, with agreed rest breaks. Live-in care suits patients who are bedridden, have a tracheostomy or need care through the night. For patients who need active nursing all 24 hours, two nurses working 12-hour shifts are safer than one live-in nurse.
| Shift type | Typically suits | Points to agree in advance |
|---|---|---|
| 12-hour day | Injections, dressings, physio support, daytime monitoring | Start time, meals, handover to family |
| 12-hour night | Night-time confusion, suctioning, turning, toileting | Rest arrangements, emergency plan |
| 24-hour live-in | Bedridden or tube-fed patients needing help at any time | Rest breaks, sleeping space, relief cover |
| Two 12-hour nurses | Patients needing active care day and night | Handover routine between nurses |
For indicative costs, contact our coordinator. Final charges depend on the assessment.
A home nurse holds a nursing qualification (GNM or B.Sc Nursing) and performs clinical procedures. A caregiver, also called an attendant or caretaker, helps with bathing, feeding, toileting, moving and companionship but does not perform clinical procedures. Many families use a caregiver for daily needs and book a nurse only for clinical tasks. Contact our coordinator if you need help deciding which type of support fits your family.
Ask our care coordinatorIf the patient's condition is unstable, for example frequent oxygen drops or changing blood pressure, the treating doctor may advise continued hospital care or a home ICU setup instead.

Yes, when they are prescribed by a doctor. The nurse follows the written prescription for the drug, dose and timing, and records each dose on the care chart.
A live-in nurse is available through the night but needs rest breaks. If the patient needs active care throughout the night, we recommend a dedicated night nurse or two 12-hour shifts.
Charges depend on the nurse's qualification, the shift length and the clinical tasks. Contact our coordinator for an assessment and current charges.
We aim to keep the same nurse for continuity. If a change is needed, we brief the new nurse on the care plan before they start.
