What Is an Aya Centre?
An aya centre is a placement agency that provides trained, verified home caregivers — called ayas or attendants — for families in need of nursing, patient care, elder care, childcare or domestic help. Unlike a hospital, an aya centre brings care to your home. Unlike an informal arrangement, a reputable aya centre verifies each caregiver's identity and background, trains them in hygiene and care standards, and stands behind their work with a replacement guarantee.
Gokul Aya Centre has been doing this from Dum Dum Road, Kolkata, since 2016 — serving 8,000+ families with 2,000+ trained caregivers. Read more about healthy ageing from the WHO.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Services
1. What is an aya centre and how does it work?
An aya centre is a placement agency for home caregivers. You call us with your requirement, we shortlist background-verified caregivers who match your need, you choose, and the caregiver starts — often within 24 to 48 hours. We provide ongoing support and a free replacement if needed.

An aya provides personal care — bathing, feeding, hygiene, companionship and light housekeeping.
