Care Givers exists because finding good home care in Bangalore should not be the hardest part of an already hard week. So we made it easier — for our own families, and then for yours.
This started in 2021. Priyanka's mother-in-law had been paralysed by a sudden stroke — bedridden, unable to move her left side, dependent on others for every basic act of the day. The family was scrambling. They needed a trained caregiver who actually knew how to look after a bedridden patient: someone who could reposition Amma every two hours through the night to prevent bedsores, manage a catheter, help with feeding, watch for the small changes that would matter.
Priyanka spent six weeks calling agencies. The ones who picked up either had no trained bedridden-care specialists available, or pressured her to sign year-long contracts before she'd even met the caregiver. The first attendant they did hire arrived two days late, had never been trained on pressure-area care, and quit after three weeks. Amma developed her first bedsore in that window. Priyanka quit her job to look after Amma herself.
Six months in — and exhausted — she realised something obvious. The problem wasn't a shortage of caregivers in Bangalore; there were thousands. The problem was the missing layer between caregivers and families: rigorous training, careful matching, ongoing supervision. Nobody was investing in the trained-care side of the equation. Bedridden patients deserved specialists. Dementia patients deserved specialists. Post-surgery families deserved someone who'd been through 80 hours of supervised hospital exposure before stepping into their home.
So she built it. Care Givers started as a network of 12 verified, trained caregivers operating out of a one-room office in Indiranagar. Every one of them completed a structured 60-hour training programme before their first placement — and a 120-hour specialist track for dementia and bedridden care. Today we serve more than 1,200 Bangalore families with the same operating philosophy: train deeply, match carefully, supervise continuously, charge fairly, never pressure. Priyanka still runs the company.
I know because I was tired too, when I started looking for help with my mother-in-law. Amma had been paralysed by a stroke — bedridden, completely dependent — and the search for a trained caregiver who actually knew how to look after her took six weeks of phone calls, hospital referrals and dead ends. Six weeks our family couldn't really afford. The kind of tired where you stop saying it aloud because nobody in your house has the energy to absorb it back.
If you've spent any time looking at home care in Bangalore, you've probably been let down at least once. By an agency that promised and then disappeared. By a caregiver who arrived late, untrained for the specific situation, or worse. By the quiet despair of realising that the people available are not the people you imagined would look after the person you love.
We built Care Givers as the opposite of that experience. We invest in training before placement — 60 to 120 hours, depending on what the case demands. Bedridden care is not the same as dementia care, which is not the same as post-surgery recovery, and we won't pretend otherwise. We screen for temperament as carefully as we screen for skills. We match by language, gender, household culture, and the patient's specific situation. We are slow where slow matters and fast where fast matters.
I think a lot about the people we send into homes. They are doing the work that most of us, if we're honest, would not want to do every day. We pay them properly, we train them properly, we visit them during their placements, we pick up the phone when they call us. The quality of care a family receives is downstream of how well we treat the people doing the caring. It always is.
Whatever brought you to this page — a parent who's slipped, a partner in recovery, a long quiet decline you've been holding alone, a mother-in-law you're trying to look after with whatever energy you have left — I'm glad you're here. You don't have to do this alone any longer.
We will keep these or we will tell you, in writing, why we couldn't — and what we're doing to make it right.
Every caregiver completes Aadhaar verification, address verification, two reference checks, an in-person interview and a police background check before their first placement. No exceptions, even for urgent cases.
No caregiver enters your home without completing our training programme. For specialised cases — dementia, bedridden, post-surgery — it's 80 to 120 hours. We pay them through the training.
A trained supervisor visits the placement every two weeks. They sit with the patient, read the care log, observe the room, talk to the family. This is the quality system that text messages cannot replace.
If the fit isn't right — for any reason, including reasons that are hard to articulate — we replace the caregiver within 24 hours. The replacement is free. We'd rather find the right match than leave you anxious.
What you see on our pricing page is what you pay. Any change to the plan is confirmed in writing before it takes effect. No callbacks, no escalating quotes, no surprise add-ons.
Our care manager line is staffed 24×7 by trained operations staff, not a chatbot, not a recorded menu. The phone rings; someone picks up.
Promises are easy. Anti-promises are what tell you who someone really is. These are ours.
Quotes are useful. Stories are truer. With each family's permission, three short ones.
“When we first hired Lakshmi, we were nervous about a stranger spending the day with my mother. Amma had always been independent — the idea of someone bathing her, helping her dress, felt like a violation she might not survive. Three weeks in, on Lakshmi's off day, my mother turned to me at breakfast and said, 'When is she coming?' That's when I knew.”
“Appa woke at 2 AM with severe chest pain. By the time my brother got the call from Singapore, the night caregiver had already done three things: vitals, the family doctor, the ambulance to Manipal. By the time I landed the next afternoon, Appa was stable and the discharge nurse said the night caregiver had probably saved his life. I had been twelve hours away. The work was already done.”
“We had a different agency before. Three weeks bedridden, my mother-in-law had two bedsores that wouldn't heal. When we switched to Care Givers, the new caregiver started repositioning every two hours from the first night, brought an air mattress within twenty-four hours, and the senior wounds were healing in eight days. The new caregiver also taught my husband how to do the repositioning correctly. We hadn't realised we'd been doing it wrong.”
The caregivers you'll meet are not strangers to us. We've sat with them through training, through their first hard placement, through the decision to stay in this work. A small part of their story.
Lakshmi came to us in 2022 from a hospital attendant job at a smaller Bangalore hospital. She had no formal training but had cared for her own grandmother through advanced dementia for four years. We trained her through our 60-hour programme — and she pushed back, gently, when our training contradicted what she'd actually learned in those four years. We updated our curriculum. She now mentors new elder-care joiners on dementia communication. Her families ask for her by name.
Raju started his career as a hospital ward boy at one of Bangalore's biggest tertiary care hospitals. He saw enough discharges go wrong — patients sent home with no plan, families overwhelmed, readmissions — that when he heard about Care Givers, he wanted in. He completed our 80-hour patient care attendant programme in 2024. He now specialises in post-cardiac and post-orthopedic recovery, and he says the first 72 hours at home are when he feels most useful in his career.
The system we built so that good care isn't a lucky accident.
We turn down about six in ten caregiver applicants. The interview asks about temperament more than skills — patience can't be taught in 60 hours; skills can.
60 to 120 hours of paid in-class and supervised practice before the first placement. Quarterly refreshers, always. Speciality bridge programmes (dementia, bedridden) for those who want them.
Every placement is decided by a human, not an algorithm. Language, gender, household culture, patient's pace of life — all read before assignment. We say no to placements that feel like a stretch.
Daily care log review. Bi-weekly home visits by a trained supervisor. Quarterly clinical training updates. A 24×7 care manager who picks up the phone, real human.
Stars and review counts are the noise. These are what we actually optimise for.
