Home ICU

Home ICU
From₹8,500/ dayView full charges →

A home ICU is a hospital intensive-care setup installed in a room of your house: a multipara monitor, oxygen, suction, infusion pumps, and where the treating doctor prescribes one, a ventilator. An ICU-trained nurse stays with the patient around the clock.

Families choose it for two reasons. The first is cost — a private ICU bed in Jodhpur runs several times what the same cover costs at home. The second is that a long-stay ICU patient who is stable but not yet independent recovers better in a familiar room, with family present, than behind visiting hours.

It is not right for everyone, and we will say so. A patient who may need emergency intubation, dialysis or surgery at short notice belongs in a hospital, near the people and equipment that handle those. We set up a home ICU only after the treating doctor agrees the patient is a candidate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an attendant and a nurse?
An attendant handles daily physical care — bathing, toileting, feeding, repositioning, mobility and companionship. A nurse holds a GNM or ANM qualification and performs clinical work: injections, IV therapy, wound dressing, catheter and feeding-tube management. If you are unsure which you need, describe the patient during the assessment and we will tell you plainly — including when the cheaper option is the right one.
Are your staff police verified?
Yes. Every caregiver goes through police verification, Aadhaar verification, address verification and a reference check before being placed. You receive their profile — photograph, qualification and verification status — before they arrive at your home, not after.
How quickly can care begin?
In Jodhpur, usually within 24 hours of the assessment. If you are arranging care around a hospital discharge, call us before the discharge rather than after and we will aim to have someone at the house when the patient arrives.
What if we are not satisfied with the caregiver?
Tell your clinical manager by phone or WhatsApp and we arrange a replacement. We do not ask you to justify the request — a caregiver who is not right for your family is not right, regardless of how well they perform elsewhere.
Can we hire for a short period only?
Yes. Most families begin with a short plan around a discharge or a surgery and extend if it helps. Extending does not mean starting the process again, and there is no minimum contract that locks you in beyond the period you booked.
How much does it cost?
Our rates are published on the charges page — attendant care from ₹900 a day, nursing from ₹1,600 a day, physiotherapy from ₹600 a visit, elder care from ₹950 a day. The final figure depends on shift length, the patient’s condition and your locality, and is confirmed in writing after a free assessment. There are no charges you will not have seen in advance.
Can we ask for a caregiver who speaks a particular language?
Yes. Tell us during the assessment. Most of our caregivers speak Hindi and Marwari; we will confirm availability before deployment rather than promise it in advance.
Do you work on Sundays and public holidays?
Yes, 365 days a year. Care does not pause for a festival, and neither do we.
