Question 1

What is Basic Nursing Care at home?

Accepted Answer

Basic Nursing Care is non-medical daily living support for adults who need help after surgery, illness, or injury. It covers personal hygiene, safe mobility, light meal prep, feeding help, vital checks (temperature, BP, pulse, SpO₂), companionship, and family updates. It does not include invasive procedures such as IV therapy or tracheostomy care.

Question 2

Who can benefit from Basic Nursing Care — and who should consider Advanced or Specialty Care?

Accepted Answer

Adults under 50 recovering after surgery, with chronic illness, or needing daily living help benefit from Basic Nursing Care. If your loved one requires IV infusions, tracheostomy, feeding tubes, or wound dressing, you should upgrade to Advanced or Specialty Care for clinical support.

Question 3

Is Basic Nursing Care suitable for adults under 50 recovering after surgery or illness?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Basic Nursing Care is ideal for younger adults regaining independence after hospital discharge. Caregivers assist with bathing, mobility, nutrition, and basic vitals, helping you recover safely at home and avoid unnecessary hospital readmissions.

Question 4

How is Basic Nursing Care different from a home nurse or hospital stay?

Accepted Answer

Basic Nursing Care provides non-clinical support — ADLs, nutrition, safety — while a nurse provides clinical tasks (IVs, wound care). Compared to hospitals, home care is more comfortable, cost-effective, and reduces infection risk while still supervised by nurses and doctors for escalation.

Question 5

Can Basic Nursing Care help reduce the risk of hospital readmission?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our caregivers monitor vitals, ensure safe mobility, remind medications, and maintain hygiene — preventing falls, infections, or complications that often lead to readmissions.

Question 6

Are your caregivers background-verified and medically screened?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All Narpavi Homecare caregivers undergo police verification, ID checks, medical screening, and training in infection control, safety, and emergency response.

Question 7

What training do Narpavi Homecare caregivers receive?

Accepted Answer

They’re trained in ADL support, safe transfers, fall prevention, WHO hand hygiene protocols, basic vital monitoring, and emergency escalation — ensuring safe, professional care at home.

Question 8

Who supervises the care plan — is a nurse or doctor involved?

Accepted Answer

Each plan is nurse-supervised with doctor oversight for emergencies. Supervisors review daily logs and adjust care plans as health needs change.

Question 9

What happens if I’m not satisfied with the assigned caregiver?

Accepted Answer

We have a replacement policy. If the caregiver isn’t the right match, we’ll quickly assign another trained professional at no extra cost.

Question 10

How do you assess what level of care my loved one needs?

Accepted Answer

Our nurse or care coordinator performs a telephonic or in-person assessment — reviewing health history, mobility, home setup, and family expectations — to design a safe, personalised plan.

Question 11

How quickly can care start after my request?

Accepted Answer

Usually within 24–48 hours. Urgent same-day support can often be arranged depending on caregiver availability.

Question 12

What is included in a typical Basic Nursing Care plan?

Accepted Answer

Personal hygiene, mobility support, light meals, vitals checks, medication reminders, companionship, daily logs, safety supervision, and an emergency escalation plan.

Question 13

Can the plan be changed if my loved one’s condition improves or worsens?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We review and adjust plans regularly. You can upgrade to Advanced Care for IV support or Specialty Care if complex nursing is needed.

Question 14

What home modifications do you recommend for safe care?

Accepted Answer

Non-slip bathroom mats, clutter-free walkways, bed at accessible height, grab bars, and good lighting. We guide families on making the home safe.

Question 15

Do you offer hourly, 8-hour, 12-hour, 24-hour, and live-in care options?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our flexible shifts range from 2–4 hour visits to live-in care — so you pay only for what you need.
