What does an in-home caregiver actually do?
A caregiver (often called a caretaker or patient attendant in Nepal) supports the activities of daily living: bathing and hygiene, safe movement around the house, meals, companionship, and medication reminders. For many families — especially those caring for aging parents — a trained caregiver is what makes it possible for a loved one to stay at home safely instead of moving to an institution.
Caregiver vs. home nurse: which one do you need?
The distinction matters for both safety and cost. A caregiver handles daily-living support; a licensed home nurse performs clinical tasks — wound dressing, injections, catheter and tube care, post-operative monitoring — under doctor supervision. Many families combine the two: a 24/7 caregiver for daily support with scheduled nursing visits, plus doctor home visits when something needs medical attention.
Who our caregiver clients usually are
- Elderly parents living alone — daily assistance and companionship, often arranged by children living abroad through our Care for Parents in Nepal service. See also our dedicated elderly care page.
- Post-surgery patients — support during the critical recovery weeks after hospital discharge, alongside post-surgery care.
- Chronic and long-term conditions — stroke recovery, heart patients, dialysis support, and cardiac care at home.
- New mothers and newborns — traditional sutkeri-period support through newborn & post-labor care.
