What Is Elder Care at Home?
Elder care at home — also called senior care or old-age care — means providing a trained attendant to support an elderly person in their own home rather than in an institution. A home elder-care attendant helps with the daily tasks that have become difficult: bathing, dressing, mobility, medication, meals and companionship. For families, it means their loved one is cared for with dignity in familiar surroundings, and that working family members can rest knowing someone trained and trustworthy is present.
Gokul Aya Centre has been placing trained elder-care attendants across North Kolkata since 2016. Every attendant is background-verified and matched to the specific needs of the senior and the family.
What Our Elder Care Attendants Do
Our trained attendants provide both practical daily support and specialist care for seniors with complex needs.
Everyday Senior Care
Daily Living Assistance
Help with the routine tasks that have become tiring or difficult — getting up, bathing, dressing, grooming, using the toilet, and moving safely around the home. Delivered with patience and dignity so your parent feels supported, not managed.
Medication Reminders & Management
Timely reminders for prescribed medicines and basic monitoring — ensuring doses are not missed, tracking visible changes, and communicating with the family if anything needs attention.
Mobility Support & Fall Prevention
Safe transfer and walking assistance for seniors with limited strength or balance. Attendants are trained in correct mobility techniques to reduce fall risk — one of the most serious concerns for elderly people living at home.
Hygiene & Personal Care
Sponge baths or assisted bathing, hair care, nail care, oral hygiene and clean clothing — delivered respectfully and maintaining the senior's dignity throughout.
Meal Preparation & Nutrition Support
Preparing or serving prescribed meals and ensuring the senior eats regularly. For seniors with swallowing difficulties, attendants are trained in safe feeding.
Companionship & Emotional Support
A trusted presence that listens, converses and engages — because loneliness is as real a concern for elderly people as physical health. Our attendants spend time with your parent, not just around them.
Specialist Senior Care
Dementia & Alzheimer's Care at Home
Caring for a parent with dementia or Alzheimer's requires patience, consistency and specific training. Our specialist attendants are experienced in memory-care routines — maintaining familiar patterns, responding calmly to confusion or agitation, ensuring safety, and communicating clearly with both patient and family. We understand that each day is different, and our attendants are trained to adapt.
Bedridden Patient Care
For seniors who are fully or partially bed-bound, we provide comprehensive bedridden care — repositioning to prevent pressure sores (every 2 hours), catheter care, tube-feeding support, personal hygiene, passive exercises, and skin care. Our attendants are trained to manage the full spectrum of bedridden patient needs at home.
Post-Hospital Recovery Care at Home
After a hospital stay — whether for a fracture, surgery, stroke or a cardiac event — the first weeks at home are critical. Our post-hospital attendants support the recovery plan: following discharge instructions, assisting with physiotherapy exercises, managing wounds and dressings, monitoring for warning signs, and communicating with the family.
Geriatric & Old Age Care
Geriatric care addresses the complex and overlapping needs of ageing — multiple chronic conditions, reduced strength, cognitive decline and emotional changes all at once. Our attendants are experienced with Parkinson's disease management, arthritis support, diabetes monitoring reminders, and the slower pace of care that elderly people need and deserve.
Palliative & End-of-Life Care at Home
For families supporting a loved one in the final stage of a serious illness, our palliative-care attendants provide compassionate presence — managing comfort, maintaining dignity, supporting the family and ensuring the senior is never alone. We approach this work with the gravity and tenderness it deserves.
Specialist care for every stage of ageing
Signs It Is Time to Get Help for Your Elderly Parent
Many families wait too long. If you notice several of the following, a trained attendant will make a real difference — for your parent and for you:
- Missed medications — forgetting doses, taking wrong amounts, or confusion about schedules
- Poor nutrition — not eating regularly, losing weight, or difficulty preparing food
- Declining hygiene — skipping baths, wearing the same clothes, or letting grooming slip
- Increased fall risk — unsteady walking, using furniture for support, or a recent fall
- Isolation and withdrawal — less social contact, low mood, or loss of interest in activities
- Memory lapses — forgetting names, recent events, or the day and date repeatedly
- Home not being maintained — dishes unwashed, laundry piling up, expired food in the kitchen
- You are exhausted — as a family member carrying the care load alone, your own wellbeing matters too
If you recognise three or more of these signs, call us. We'll help you work out what level of care is right.

Elder Care FAQs — Your Questions Answered
1. How much does elder care cost in Kolkata?
Elder care rates in Kolkata range from ₹300–₹700 for an 8-hour day shift to ₹1,300–₹2,000 for a full 24-hour duty. Monthly live-out packages start from ₹10,000 and live-in packages from ₹12,000, depending on the level of care required. Call us for an exact quote based on your parent's specific needs.
2. What is the difference between an aya and an elder care attendant?
An aya is a general home caregiver for domestic tasks and personal support. An elder care attendant is specifically trained for senior needs — safe mobility, fall prevention, dementia response, bedridden care, medication management and recognising health changes. For elderly parents with complex needs, a trained elder care attendant is the right choice.
3. Can you provide 24-hour live-in elder care in Kolkata?
Yes — we provide 24-hour duty and live-in elder care across North Kolkata. A live-in attendant is our strongest recommendation for seniors with dementia, bedridden patients, or any elderly person who should not be left unsupervised overnight.
4. Do you have trained attendants for dementia and Alzheimer's patients?
Yes. Our dementia-care attendants are trained in memory-care routines, safe behavioural responses and maintaining the calm, consistent environment that dementia patients need. We match attendants to patients carefully, knowing that personality fit matters as much as training.
5. Can your attendants handle post-surgery or bedridden patients at home?
Yes — we provide specialist bedridden care including repositioning to prevent pressure sores, catheter and tube care, wound monitoring, passive exercises and personal hygiene for bed-bound seniors. For post-surgery recovery, attendants follow discharge instructions and support physiotherapy routines.
6. Are your elder care attendants male or female?
We provide both. Many families prefer a female attendant for an elderly woman, or a male attendant for a male patient — especially where lifting and physical support is needed. Tell us your preference and we will match accordingly.
7. Are your elder care attendants background-verified?
Yes — every attendant is background-checked, ID-proofed and trained before placement. They carry identity documentation on each visit. We do not send anyone we have not personally verified.
8. Which areas of Kolkata do you cover for elder care?
We cover Dum Dum, Salt Lake, Lake Town, Baranagar, Ultadanga, Nagerbazar, New Town, Baguiati and most of North Kolkata within about 7 km of Kolkata Airport Gate 1. Call us to confirm coverage for your specific address.
