Home care in Delhi
CareAH (Care At Home) lists home care agencies in Delhi that have been reviewed and approved before being shown on the platform. CareAH does not provide care itself. It connects families to agencies that do. Delhi is a large, busy city, and finding reliable home care for an elderly parent or relative here takes time and careful thought. Many families arranging care are not in Delhi themselves. They may be in another Indian city, or living in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, Singapore or the Gulf, trying to make good decisions from a distance, across time zones, without being able to visit easily. CareAH exists to make that process less overwhelming. Every agency listed has gone through CareAH's own review. Families can browse, compare and contact agencies directly. The goal is straightforward: to give you enough reliable information that you can make a confident choice for your parent or relative in Delhi, even if you are thousands of kilometres away.
Home care in Delhi is arranged and paid for privately by families. There is no government service that organises or funds home care on a family's behalf. Families contact agencies directly, agree on a care plan, and pay for the care themselves. The kinds of help families most commonly arrange include daily personal care such as bathing, dressing and meals, support for an older person living with dementia, live-in care where a carer stays in the home around the clock, and post-hospital recovery support. Families whose relative has recently been discharged from a hospital such as All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi or Safdarjung Hospital in New Delhi often need care to begin quickly, sometimes within a day or two of discharge. An older person in Delhi is most likely comfortable in Hindi, and for many elderly people being cared for in their own language matters greatly. In a city the size of Delhi, agencies can often also find carers who speak Punjabi, Urdu or English. Always confirm with the agency which language your relative is most comfortable in, and check that they can meet that need. Also confirm that the agency covers the specific part of Delhi where your relative lives, as coverage can vary.

A reliable home care agency in Delhi will assign a consistent carer to your relative rather than sending a different person each visit. Continuity matters for an older person's comfort and safety. Ask how the agency handles cover when a regular carer is unwell or unavailable. Good agencies have a clear process for this and tell the family in advance. Carers should be selected carefully and trained before being placed. The agency should prepare a written care plan based on your relative's specific needs, review it regularly, and update it if those needs change. A supervisor or coordinator should check in on care quality, not just leave a carer unsupported. For families living abroad, one of the most important questions is how you will know that each visit actually took place. You should not have to rely on trust alone. Ask the agency whether carers check in and check out digitally, whether visit notes are written after each visit, and whether photos or a daily update are sent to the family. This kind of verification matters enormously when you are in another country. Ask also how the agency protects your relative's personal and health information. India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 governs how such data must be handled. The CareAH-Reviewed marker means CareAH has carried out its own review of the agency before listing it. It is not a government registration or licence.
What to ask an agency
- Will my relative have the same carer for most visits, and what happens when that carer is unavailable?
- How can I see, from abroad, that each visit actually happened, for example through carer check-in and check-out, visit notes, photos or a daily update?
- How do you assess my relative's needs and put together a written care plan?
- How are your carers selected, trained and supervised?
- Do you have carers who can speak the language my relative is most comfortable in?
- Does your agency cover the specific part of Delhi where my relative lives?
- How do you protect my relative's personal and health information in line with the DPDP Act 2023?
Paying for home care in Delhi
Home care in Delhi is paid for privately by the family. Agencies set their own rates and there is no fixed or government-regulated pricing. Most agencies price care in one of three ways: by the hour, by the visit, or as a monthly package for live-in or full-day care. The cost you are quoted will depend on how many hours of care are needed, what level of support is required, and whether care is needed at night or on weekends. Specialist support, such as care for someone living with dementia or recovering from surgery, may be priced differently from basic daily assistance. Always ask each agency for its current rates in Indian rupees and ask exactly what is included in the quoted price. Confirm whether there are any additional charges, for example for travel, consumables or public holidays. Get the pricing details in writing before agreeing to anything.
