We connect you with a family in your pincode who's already arranged bedridden or palliative care — a real referral, not a listing.
We connect you with a family near you who's already arranged long-term care — they tell you who they used and how it's gone.
Not a random referral from across the city — someone whose provider realistically serves your area.
We don't run a nursing agency and don't charge a fee. You pay the provider directly, at their own rate.
Not sure what level of care applies? Start with the care type below.
Full-time support for immobile patients.
Pain and symptom management focus.
Recovery support after intensive care.
Care focused on comfort and dignity.
This is deeply personal care — a referral from a family who's actually lived through it means more than any star rating.
Your referral comes from a family who's actually used the provider.
Realistically covers your area, not just your city.
No fee from us, no commission from the provider.
We only make the introduction — the decision stays yours.
We don't charge anything for the referral. This is roughly what providers in past referrals have charged.
Daytime attendant for a bedridden patient.
Round-the-clock trained nursing care.
Periodic comfort-focused nursing visits.
Priced based on equipment and monitoring needs.
Medical complexity drives cost more than almost anything else — a patient needing wound care, catheter management, or feeding tube support costs more than general bedridden assistance. 24-hour coverage costs significantly more than daytime-only support, and equipment needs (hospital bed, oxygen concentrator) add separately to the overall monthly cost.
A nursing home makes sense when medical needs genuinely exceed what home care can safely provide — frequent monitoring, specialised equipment, or emergency-level medical risk. For most bedridden and palliative situations, home care delivers comparable quality with more dignity and family presence.
Long-term care at home supports patients who are bedridden, recovering from a major illness, or living with a terminal condition — combining nursing-level tasks with the daily support of an attendant, delivered in the patient's own home.
Palliative care specifically focuses on comfort and quality of life rather than curative treatment — pain management, symptom relief, and emotional support for both the patient and family, often alongside a treating doctor's ongoing care.
No lengthy sign-up, no agency directory. Just a pincode, a short wait, and a real recommendation.

"When my father became bedridden after his stroke, we had no idea where to even start looking for full-time nursing support. A neighbour going through something similar gave us the number of the caregiver they'd hired. It wasn't a perfect match immediately, but having a real starting point instead of cold-calling agencies made an overwhelming time feel more manageable."

Long-term and palliative care at home helps families support a bedridden, seriously ill, or terminally ill patient without a prolonged hospital stay. This guide covers what home-based long-term care actually involves, what it costs, and how families typically navigate this deeply personal decision.
Long-term care at home combines nursing-level medical support with daily living assistance for patients who need ongoing care — often bedridden patients, those recovering from major surgery or ICU stays, or individuals managing a chronic or terminal illness. A team may include a nursing attendant for daily tasks and a visiting nurse or doctor for medical monitoring, coordinated around the patient's specific needs.
Families increasingly search for "bedridden patient care at home" and "palliative care near me" as an alternative to extended hospital stays, which are both costly and often harder on a patient's overall wellbeing than familiar home surroundings.
Most platforms maintain their own roster of nursing staff and assign one from that list. AskCareIndia works differently — we connect you with a family in your own pincode who has already arranged long-term or palliative care, and let them tell you directly who they used. We don't take a commission from any provider, and we don't charge families either.
Palliative care focuses specifically on comfort, pain management, and quality of life rather than curing the underlying condition. It's appropriate alongside active treatment for a serious illness, not only at end of life — a common misconception that sometimes delays families from seeking this kind of support earlier, when it could meaningfully improve a patient's day-to-day comfort.
Bedridden care covers repositioning to prevent bedsores, feeding assistance, catheter or wound care where needed, and monitoring for complications like infections or pressure sores. Regular repositioning — typically every two hours — is one of the most important, and most overlooked, parts of preventing serious complications in bedridden patients.
Long-term care cost in India varies widely based on medical complexity and hours of coverage — part-time bedridden care runs roughly ₹18,000–25,000 monthly, while 24-hour nursing-level support can run ₹35,000–55,000 or more. Equipment needs like hospital beds or oxygen concentrators add separately. Because AskCareIndia doesn't set pricing ourselves, every referral comes with a real number from a family who actually paid it.
Long-term and palliative care works best alongside a treating doctor, not instead of one — the home care team handles daily monitoring and comfort, while the doctor manages medical decisions, medication adjustments, and any necessary interventions. Ask a prospective provider how they typically communicate with a patient's doctor, since this coordination genuinely affects care quality.
Arranging long-term or palliative care is often emotionally difficult, layered with grief, uncertainty, and exhaustion for the family alongside the patient. Respite care — short-term coverage so a primary family caregiver can rest — is worth arranging proactively rather than waiting until burnout, since sustained caregiver exhaustion affects the quality of care everyone receives.
"Only a hospital can provide adequate care for a seriously ill patient" isn't universally true — for many stable, chronic, or palliative situations, properly coordinated home care delivers comparable medical support with significantly more comfort and dignity. Another myth: that palliative care means giving up on treatment — it's compatible with ongoing medical care and focuses on quality of life alongside it, not instead of it.
Whatever stage of long-term or palliative care your family is navigating, the hardest part is often just finding a provider you trust during an already difficult time. A referral from a family who's been through something similar removes much of that uncertainty. Share your pincode, see who's already found the right support, and take it from there.
Yes, with properly trained caregivers who understand repositioning, hygiene, and monitoring for complications like bedsores.
Usually within 24–48 hours of sharing your pincode, depending on coverage in your area.
No. Palliative care focuses on comfort and can run alongside active medical treatment, not instead of it.
We don't charge anything. Part-time bedridden care typically runs ₹18,000–25,000 monthly based on what past families have shared.
Good providers typically do — ask directly about their communication process with a treating doctor before hiring.
Yes, often separately through a medical equipment rental provider. Ask your referral for a recommendation.
Respite care is short-term coverage so a family caregiver can rest. Worth arranging proactively rather than waiting for burnout.
You do. We only make the introduction — whether you go with the referral or choose someone else is up to you.
Yes, depending on the patient's specific medical needs and equipment requirements — confirm feasibility with the specific provider.
No. We don't take a cut from the provider either. The referral is between families — we just make the introduction.
Whatever home care you need — physiotherapy, a nurse, elder care, a doctor visit — a patient in your own pincode has probably already found it. Tell us what you're looking for, and we'll connect you directly with them.
