Western line, Thane & Navi Mumbai
A trained attendant at home to handle bathing, feeding, toileting, moving the patient safely and giving prescribed medicines on time. Booked by the shift, from Borivali and Andheri to Thane and Navi Mumbai.
Free assessment. If the case actually needs a nurse, we will say so.
Quick answer
Patient care services in Mumbai place a trained attendant, also called a caretaker, at the patient's home to handle daily living rather than medical procedures. The attendant bathes and dresses the patient, prepares and gives meals, manages toileting, moves the patient safely, gives prescribed oral medicines on time and tells the family when something changes. Attendants are booked by the shift, not by the visit.
Who attends
A trained caregiver, police-verified, bonded and insured
Coverage
Strongest on the western line, plus Thane, Navi Mumbai and the rest of the city
Also called
Patient caretaker, home attendant, patient care taker
This is what an attendant at home in Mumbai actually spends the shift doing. Practical, repetitive work that keeps a dependent patient clean, fed, comfortable and out of hospital. Every attendant follows a care plan agreed with your family before the first shift.
Families are rarely told this before booking. An attendant is a trained caregiver, not a nurse, and the line between them is firm. Knowing where it sits stops you paying for the wrong kind of help, and stops anyone in the house expecting clinical work an attendant is not qualified to do.
Non-clinical daily care
Clinical procedures, never done by an attendant
An attendant on shift for the daily work, and a nurse visiting for injections or dressing. We will tell you which combination the patient actually needs before you commit to anything.
The short version. If the patient needs help living, book an attendant. If a doctor has prescribed a procedure, book a nurse. Plenty of households in Mumbai need both.
| Patient care attendant | Home nurse | |
|---|---|---|
| Qualification | Trained caregiver | GNM or BSc Nursing |
| Main job | Daily living and comfort | Clinical procedures and monitoring |
| Injections and drips | No | Yes |
| Oral medicines | Gives what is prescribed | Gives and monitors response |
| Bathing and toileting | Yes, this is the core work | Yes, alongside clinical care |
| Usually booked as | Ongoing shifts, weeks or months | Visits, or shifts for serious cases |
Attendant work is almost entirely personal care, so gender matters more here than for a nurse who visits to do one procedure. Say what suits the patient when you book. Stating a preference costs nothing extra.
What most families ask for when the patient is a woman, and especially for an elderly mother or grandmother.
Requested when someone has to be lifted daily, and by male patients who would rather a man handled their washing and toileting.
Chosen by when the patient actually needs somebody there, and by how much room your flat has.

Round the clock
Attendant 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 attendant placement. Our office is on this line at Kandivali West.
The situations families call us about most. The common thread is dependency rather than a particular diagnosis.
Bedridden patient care at home is turning every two hours, bed baths, diaper changes and protecting the skin. It is relentless work that exhausts a family within weeks.
Bedsore prevention · immobile patients · long-term bed rest
Help to wash, dress, reach the bathroom and move safely while the patient cannot bend or take weight, usually for a few weeks.
Knee and hip replacement · fracture recovery · post-operative help
After a stroke, or with paralysis, the day is mostly transfers in and out of bed, help eating and washing on the weaker side, and repeating the exercises the physiotherapist has set between visits.
Post-stroke support · hemiplegia · paraplegia
Dementia and Alzheimer's call for a steady routine, watchfulness against wandering, patience with the same question asked ten times, and making sure meals and medicines are genuinely taken.
Memory loss · Alzheimer's support · Parkinson's
Common across Mumbai where children work long hours or live abroad. Help with bathing and cooking, medicines on time, fall prevention, and someone who calls you if anything changes.
Senior citizen care · caretaker for elderly · home attendant for elderly
Through cancer treatment or at the end of life, comfort-focused daily care that works alongside the nurse and doctor managing symptoms.
Palliative care at home · chemotherapy support · end-of-life care
Hospitals send patients home with instructions and nobody to carry them out. An attendant handles the daily side while a nurse comes in for whatever was prescribed.
Post-hospitalisation care · recovery at home
The family member doing the caring burns out first, and usually quietly. Taking a few weeks off while an attendant covers is an ordinary thing to arrange, not an admission of anything.
Respite care · short-term attendant · temporary caretaker
Tell us what the patient can no longer manage alone and we will point you to the right level of help.
Free assessment.jpeg)
Call or WhatsApp with what the patient can and cannot manage alone, your locality, and whether you want a male or female attendant.
We confirm whether an attendant is right, or whether the case needs a nurse instead or as well.
Matched to the patient, your area and your preference. ID and verification papers are shared before the first shift.
Duties are written down and agreed, so nothing is assumed and nobody is asked to do work outside their scope.
A large share of attendant bookings begin within a day or two of a discharge. Patients come home to us from Lilavati, Kokilaben, Hinduja, Nanavati, Jaslok, Breach Candy, Bombay Hospital, Fortis Mulund, Global and dozens of smaller nursing homes across the suburbs.
The hospital sends the patient home with instructions but nobody to carry them out. That first fortnight is when a family discovers how much lifting, washing and watching the day actually contains. Booking an attendant before the discharge, rather than after a difficult first night, gives us room to match the right person instead of whoever is free.
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 for the patient and what they struggle with. We will say plainly whether that calls for an attendant, a nurse, or both.
