Unsteady on their feet
The first fall is usually what prompts the call. Somebody to steady them to the bathroom at night is what prevents the second, which tends to be the one that breaks a hip.

Across Pune & Pimpri-Chinchwad
Care for your parents in their own home anywhere in Pune, from a trained caretaker for the everyday things or a qualified nurse for medical work. We settle which one they need before you commit to anything.
Free assessment. If the case calls for a nurse rather than a caretaker, we will say so.
Quick answer
Elderly care services in Pune put a trained caregiver into a senior citizen's own home so the family need not move them into a facility. That caregiver is either a caretaker, covering bathing, meals, toilet help, walking support and medicine timings, or a qualified nurse, who on top of that carries out prescribed medical work such as injections, dressings and catheter care. Which one suits depends on the parent.
Two kinds of caregiver
A trained caretaker, or a GNM or BSc qualified nurse
Coverage
West, east, central and south Pune, plus Pimpri-Chinchwad
Also called
Senior citizen care, home attendant for elderly, old age care at home
Settle this before comparing anyone on anything else. A written prescription means a nurse. A parent who can no longer get through an ordinary day unaided means a caretaker. A fair number of Pune households end up with one of each.

| Mainly lonely and unsafe alone | Yes | More than you need |
A home attendant for elderly parents, covering the day to day. What most families here need, and usually 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 where a parent is frail.
See home nursing in fullThe first three need no prescription. The fourth is nursing work and does.
Caregivers are placed across Pune city and the Pimpri-Chinchwad belt. We match on locality as well as on skill, because a caregiver with a long daily commute rarely lasts on a case. If your area is not listed, ring and ask.
Seldom one dramatic event. Usually a handful of small things that have quietly stacked up until nobody at home can hold them together any longer.
The first fall is usually what prompts the call. Somebody to steady them to the bathroom at night is what prevents the second, which tends to be the one that breaks a hip.
Fall prevention · weakness · balance problems
Dementia and Alzheimer's ask for routine before anything else: a familiar face, an unchanging order to the day, and someone confirming food and medicines went down.
Dementia care at home · Alzheimer's · Parkinson's
Eight tablets over four timings, some before food, some after. Doses get skipped or repeated, and it goes unnoticed until something gives.
Medication management · diabetes · blood pressure
Older bodies mend slowly. Help with washing, dressing and moving safely through the weeks a hip or knee needs before it will take weight again.
Hip and knee replacement · fracture recovery
Turning every two hours, bed baths, diaper changes, protecting the skin. It never lets up, and it is why most families eventually ask for help.
Bedsore prevention · paralysis · post-stroke care
A familiar Pune arrangement. Parents settled in Kothrud, Deccan or Sadashiv Peth while the children are out in the IT corridor or overseas.
Senior citizen care in Pune · care for elderly at home
Diabetes, heart, kidney and breathing conditions wanting insulin, monitoring and a nurse who notices a change before it becomes an admission.
Nursing care for old age patients · COPD · dialysis support
One person has generally been carrying it for months and saying nothing. Arranging cover for a few weeks is practical, not a failure of duty.

Free assessmentMost families begin with a day shift and add hours later. Increasing cover is easier than persuading a parent to accept the whole of it at once.
Daytime cover
Overnight cover
Round the clock
The work is largely bathing, changing and toilet help, so this counts. Elderly parents frequently refuse care outright from somebody of the opposite gender, and that refusal gets mistaken for stubbornness when it is really embarrassment. State your preference at booking.
A good share of these bookings begin within a day or two of a discharge. Parents come home to us from Ruby Hall Clinic, Jehangir, Sahyadri, Deenanath Mangeshkar, Aditya Birla Memorial, Noble, Sassoon and a great many smaller nursing homes across the city.
An older patient seldom comes home at the level they went in at. A week flat on a hospital bed costs muscle that takes months to build back, so a parent who walked in unaided may need steadying to the bathroom on the way out. Families plan for the illness and rarely for that.
Book against the address your parent is going home to rather than the hospital they are leaving. Someone discharged from Ruby Hall in Camp but recovering in Baner needs a caregiver who can reach Baner every morning for the next few months.
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.
"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."
"Living in the USA, I was constantly worried about my mother's post-surgery recovery in Pune. Ayushya's team took over completely. The daily updates were a blessing."
"Humble staff and excellent service. I hope they expand to more locations. Sunita ma'am (the caretaker) was very helpful with my grandmother."
"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."
