Western line, Thane & Navi Mumbai
A home ICU installed in your own flat: ICU bed, ventilator or BiPAP, oxygen, monitor and infusion pumps, run by ICU-trained nurses around the clock. We survey the room and the lift before anything is delivered.
Free assessment. We will tell you honestly if the patient should stay in hospital.
Quick answer
An ICU setup at home in Mumbai is a critical care environment built inside the patient's own flat and staffed by ICU-trained nurses. It usually means an ICU bed, breathing support from a ventilator or BiPAP, oxygen from a concentrator or cylinder, a multipara monitor, infusion and syringe pumps, a suction machine and an alpha air mattress. Which of those are installed is decided by clinical assessment, and the room and the building lift are surveyed before delivery.
Who runs it
Two ICU-trained nurses on 12-hour shifts, with nursing assistants
Coverage
Strongest on the western line, plus Thane, Navi Mumbai and the rest of the city

The clinical side of a home ICU is the same anywhere. The part that goes wrong in Mumbai is physical, and it is worth knowing before the ambulance is booked.
An ICU bed is around seven feet long. A great many older Mumbai buildings have lifts that will not take it, upright or flat.
Where it will not go, the bed is dismantled and carried up the stairwell in parts, then rebuilt in the room. It is doable on almost any floor, but it needs planning rather than discovery on the day, and it is the commonest reason an installation slips.
A ventilator and an oxygen concentrator running together draw more than a small inverter will carry, and a concentrator stops producing oxygen the moment the power does.
Every Critical-level setup needs a backup that can hold both, plus a filled oxygen cylinder standing by. We size this at the survey rather than assuming your building generator covers individual flats, which it often does not.
A nurse needs clear access on three sides of the bed to turn a patient, which in a typical Mumbai bedroom means a cupboard or a dressing table has to go.
Most societies also want notice before equipment comes through, and the nurses registered at the gate. We give you the staff ID and verification papers in advance so the society office is settled before the first shift.
Not every patient needs all of it. The assessment fixes the list, and anything you do not already own comes on rent rather than being bought.
Breathes for a patient who cannot manage it alone. Operated only by the ICU-trained nurse on shift, never by family.
Critical level · ventilator-dependent patients
Two-pressure breathing support through a mask, with no tube into the airway. The usual step down from a ventilator.
BiPAP on rent in Mumbai · COPD
Makes oxygen from room air, so it never needs refilling. Wants a steady power point, which is why backup matters.
Higher flow than a concentrator gives, and the standby that keeps oxygen running through a power cut.
Heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, respiration and temperature on screen continuously, alarms set to this patient.
Continuous vitals · alarm limits
Height, backrest and knee adjustment with side rails, so one nurse can turn and sit a patient up alone. Around seven feet long, hence the lift question.
Push fluids and drugs at an exact rate rather than by gravity, which is what a controlled dose over several hours requires.
All three levels
Clears the airway of secretions. Used many times a day for a tracheostomy or ventilated patient, and not optional for either.
Tracheostomy care · airway clearance
The mattress shifts pressure points in cycles against bedsores. The DVT pump squeezes the calves to stop a clot forming during long immobility.
Bedsore and clot prevention
Nearly all of this goes on monthly rent, which is what puts a home setup within reach at all. Beds, oxygen, BiPAP and the rest are listed together.
We turn cases down, and it is fairer to say which ones here than after you have paid for a survey. A home setup is safe for a stable patient on a long recovery. It is dangerous for anyone who might need something a hospital has and a Mumbai flat does not.
Stable, long-stay, no intervention expected
We will say so rather than take the booking
The call belongs to your treating doctor. We will not install against medical advice, and where a case sits on the line we would rather you gave it another week in the ward than moved too early.
Assigned by clinical assessment against the patient's condition, not picked from a menu.
Unstable, ventilator dependent
Moving from critical towards stable
Stable, mobility restricted
Coverage is strongest along the western line, where our office sits and where equipment reaches you fastest. If your locality is not listed, call and ask.
Fastest install and fastest equipment servicing. Our office is on this line at Kandivali West.
Nearly every home ICU begins as a discharge. Patients come to us from Lilavati, Kokilaben, Hinduja, Nanavati, Jaslok, Breach Candy, Bombay Hospital, Fortis Mulund, Global and other hospitals across the city and Navi Mumbai.
Bring us in before the discharge, not after. Two or three days is enough to assess the case, survey the room and the lift, get the equipment in and tested, and have the first nurse take handover from the hospital team. Families who call on the morning of the discharge usually end up delaying it anyway, which nobody wants once a bed has been released.
Ask the hospital for the discharge summary, the current ventilator or oxygen settings, and the list of running infusions. Those three documents are what let us size the setup correctly the first time.
Hospital names describe where patients are discharged from. They do not imply any tie-up or affiliation.
No two setups price the same, because no two patients need the same equipment for the same length of time. Four things move the number.
A ventilator setup and an oxygen concentrator setup sit in different ranges. Critical carries the most equipment, Supportive the least.
Many families kept a bed or a concentrator from an earlier illness. You rent only the gap, and we will tell you whether what you have is still usable.
Round-the-clock cover means two nurses rotating. Some step-down and supportive patients manage on one 12-hour shift with family overnight.
Monthly equipment rental works out lower per day than weekly, so a setup measured in months prices differently from a fortnight after a discharge.
Equipment rental, nursing and consumables quoted together after the assessment, so there is no second conversation about money once the bed is in the room.
Send the discharge summary and the current ventilator or oxygen settings. We will tell you which level applies, what the room and lift need, and honestly whether the patient should stay in hospital.
