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.
