Garia sits a short way up the line from our centre in Sonarpur, at the southern edge of Kolkata. Many families in Garia have a parent at home who needs daily help, or a relative admitted to hospital who needs someone with them between nurse rounds, and those are the two things we are asked for most here.
Care at home and in hospital
At home, an aya helps with bathing, feeding, medicines on time, walking and keeping the patient company, in shifts that fit around the family's work. A nurse can visit for injections, wound dressing, catheter or Ryle's tube care. For patients in hospital we send a hospital aya or a male attendant for day or night duty, so a family member does not have to sit up every night.
Call or WhatsApp with the patient's condition and the hours you need. We confirm the caregiver and the cost first, and stay in touch once care has started.
