Elder Care in Delhi NCR: Home Care Options, Real Prices and How to Choose

Delhi NCR has more elder care options than almost anywhere in India, which can make choosing harder, not easier. Agencies, freelance attendants, nursing bureaus, physiotherapy clinics: it’s difficult to know who is reliable and what a fair price looks like.

This guide covers the main types of care available across Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad and Faridabad, the prices verified providers list on WiseDecisions, and how to choose.

Personal care (attendants and caretakers)

Help with daily living: bathing, dressing, toileting, meals, walking, and company. Usually available as 12-hour day shifts or 24-hour live-in care.

Nursing care at home

Qualified nurses for medical tasks: injections, IV and wound care, catheter or feeding tube care, monitoring vitals, and care after surgery or a hospital stay.

Physiotherapy at home

Sessions with a physiotherapist for recovery after a fall, fracture, stroke or surgery, and to maintain strength and balance.

Dementia and memory care at home

Companionship

Regular visits for conversation, outings, accompanying to hospital appointments, and help with small errands and technology.

A quick way to estimate a monthly cost: multiply the daily rate by the number of days of care. For example, an attendant at ₹1,000 a day, six days a week, comes to roughly ₹26,000 a month.

How to choose a home care provider in Delhi NCR

  • Check verification. Ask whether caregivers are ID- and police-verified. Every provider listed on WiseDecisions has had its documents reviewed before going live.
  • Match the skill to the need. Don’t pay for a nurse when an attendant will do, and don’t accept an attendant for medical tasks. Our guide on home nurse vs home attendant explains the difference.
  • Ask about replacements. In a big city, caregivers change jobs often. A good agency replaces a caregiver quickly and without extra charge.
  • Clarify live-in arrangements: food, a place to sleep, days off and phone use.
  • Ask about supervision: who checks on the caregiver, and how often?
  • Start with a trial before committing to a month.

Practical tips for Delhi NCR families

  • Distance matters. NCR is large. A provider based near your parents’ area can send replacements and supervisors faster. Check the areas each provider covers.
  • Plan for the summer. Delhi’s heat is hard on older people. Make sure your parents and caregiver know the signs of dehydration and heat exhaustion, and keep the home cool.
  • Plan for winter air. On high-pollution days, older people with heart or lung conditions should limit time outdoors. Ask the doctor whether an air purifier makes sense.
  • Keep emergency numbers handy: 112 for emergencies, and the number of the nearest hospital with an emergency department.
