Western line, Thane & Navi Mumbai
Care for your parents in their own home across Mumbai, from a trained caretaker for the everyday things or a qualified nurse for medical care. We work out which one they need before you commit to anything.
Free assessment. If the case needs a nurse rather than a caretaker, we will say so.
Quick answer
Elderly care services in Mumbai place a trained caregiver in a senior citizen's own flat so the family does not have to move them into a facility. The caregiver is either a caretaker, handling bathing, meals, toilet help, walking support and medicine timings, or a qualified nurse, who additionally does prescribed medical work such as injections, dressings and catheter care. Which you need depends on the parent.
Two kinds of caregiver
A trained caretaker, or a GNM or BSc qualified nurse
Coverage
Strongest on the western line, plus Thane, Navi Mumbai and the rest of the city
Also called
Senior citizen care, home attendant for elderly, old age care at home
Worth settling before you compare anyone on anything else. If a doctor has written down a procedure, that is a nurse. If your parent is struggling to get through an ordinary day, that is a caretaker. Plenty of Mumbai households end up with one of each.

A home attendant for elderly parents, covering the day to day. What most families here need, for months or years rather than weeks.
See attendant care in fullPrescribed medical work by a GNM or BSc nurse. Booked as visits when a procedure falls due, or as shifts for a frail parent.
See home nursing in fullThe first three cards need no prescription. The fourth is nursing work and does.
Caregiver availability is strongest along the western line, where our own office sits. If your locality is not listed, call and ask. It is usually a yes.
Fastest placement, and easiest to keep the same caregiver on a case long term. Our office is on this line at Kandivali West.
Rarely one dramatic event. Usually several small things that have quietly piled up until nobody at home can manage them alongside work.
The first fall is what usually prompts the call. What prevents the second, generally the one that breaks a hip, is somebody there to steady them on the way to the bathroom at 2am.
Fall prevention · weakness · balance problems
With dementia and Alzheimer's, routine does most of the work: one familiar face, an unvarying shape to the day, and somebody checking that food and medicines went down rather than were merely left out.
Dementia care at home · Alzheimer's · Parkinson's
Eight tablets spread over four timings, some before food and some after. A dose gets skipped or taken twice, and it stays unnoticed until a reading swings or a parent has a bad turn.
Medication management · diabetes · blood pressure
Recovery is slower at seventy than at forty. Somebody to help with washing, dressing and moving safely through the weeks before a hip or knee will carry weight again.
Hip and knee replacement · fracture recovery
Two-hourly turning, bed baths, diaper changes and keeping the skin intact. It runs day and night, and it is what finally makes a family pick up the phone.
Bedsore prevention · paralysis · post-stroke care
Common right across Mumbai, where the commute takes two hours out of the day and children abroad only get the phone version of how things are.
Senior citizen care services in Mumbai · care for elderly at home
Diabetes, cardiac, renal and respiratory conditions that want insulin, regular readings, and a nurse who catches a change while it is still small.
Nursing care for old age patients · COPD · dialysis support
Normally one sibling or spouse has shouldered it for months in silence. Arranging cover for a fortnight is housekeeping, not surrender.
Respite care · short-term elderly care
Describe an ordinary day and where it goes wrong. We will tell you what level of help that actually calls for.
Free assessmentMost families start with a day shift and add hours later. It is easier to increase cover than to talk a parent into accepting all of it at once.

Overnight cover
Round the clock
Elderly care means bathing, changing and toilet help, so this genuinely matters. Older parents often refuse care outright from someone of the opposite gender, and that refusal gets read as stubbornness when it is really embarrassment. Say what you want at booking.

A good share of these bookings start within a day or two of a discharge. Parents come home to us from Lilavati, Kokilaben, Hinduja, Nanavati, Jaslok, Breach Candy, Bombay Hospital, Fortis Mulund, Global and plenty of smaller nursing homes across the suburbs.
An older patient rarely comes home at the level they went in at. A week in a hospital bed costs muscle that takes months to rebuild, so a parent who walked in unaided may need steadying to the bathroom on the way out. Families are usually planning for the illness and not for that.
Hospital names describe where patients are discharged from. They do not imply any tie-up or affiliation.
Real reviews from families who booked through Ayushya. Locations are as the reviewer gave them.
"Humble staff and excellent service. I hope they expand to more locations. Sunita ma'am (the caretaker) was very helpful with my grandmother."
"My father needed constant monitoring after his stroke. The caretaker from Ayushya was very patient and the progress in just 3 weeks has been remarkable."
"The nursing staff is extremely well-trained and polite. They handled my father's wound dressing and injections very professionally. Highly recommended for home nursing."
"Living in the USA, I was constantly worried about my mother's post-surgery recovery. Ayushya's team took over completely. The daily updates were a blessing."
Describe an ordinary day and where it goes wrong. We will say plainly whether that calls for a caretaker, a nurse, or both.
