Care That Fits Your Family's Routine

Every family's situation is different. Choose the care format that suits your loved one — our coordinator will help you decide after a free assessment.

Live-In Care

A trained caregiver stays in your home, providing round-the-clock companionship, personal care, and supervision — the trusted alternative to an old age home.

Hourly & Day/Night Care

Flexible visits from a few hours a day to full day or night shifts — ideal for medication support, meals, hygiene, and companionship.

24/7 Care

Rostered caregivers and nurses covering all 24 hours for high-dependency needs — bedridden care, dementia, post-ICU, and palliative support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Palliative care at home focuses on comfort, dignity, and quality of life for people living with a serious or life-limiting illness — including cancer, heart failure, COPD, and neurological conditions. It is appropriate at any stage of illness, not only at end of life, and can run alongside curative treatment.

No. Palliative care is about managing symptoms, pain, and emotional distress alongside any ongoing medical treatment. Many families use palliative care at home while the person continues to receive curative or disease-modifying therapies from their specialist.

Our palliative nursing team provides medication administration (including oral and subcutaneous routes), pain and breathlessness assessment, nausea and fatigue management, pressure-area care, catheter care, and coordination with the treating palliative physician to adjust medications as needed.

We offer carer education, emotional support check-ins, respite care so family members can rest, and guidance on what to expect at each stage. Our care coordinator remains a consistent point of contact throughout the care journey.

We provide home palliative care across Kerala, including Kottayam, Ernakulam (Kochi), Thrissur, Alappuzha, Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Kozhikode, Pathanamthitta, Kannur, and Palakkad.
