Home nursing and caretaker services in Udupi, for when a parent needs more support than family alone can give
Elderly care, recovery after surgery, palliative support, or someone to simply be there day and night. We place trained, background-checked caregivers in homes across Udupi and Manipal, on whatever shift pattern actually fits your situation.

A parent still lives in the old family house, maybe near Ajjarkad or out toward Kalyanpur, and everyone else has moved: to Manipal for work, to Bengaluru, or further — plenty of our callers reach us from the Gulf. Visiting every weekend isn't always possible. Neither is pretending everything's fine over a phone call.
That's usually when someone reaches out to us. Sometimes it's after a fall. Sometimes it's a discharge from Kasturba Hospital or TMA Pai and nobody's quite sure how to manage the recovery at home. Sometimes it's simpler than that: an 80-year-old who just shouldn't be alone all day anymore. We ask a few questions about the situation first, then match a caregiver who actually fits it, rather than sending whoever's free.
What our caregivers actually do
Not a fixed package. We build the support around what the patient needs.
Home Nursing
Vitals checks, injections, IV lines, catheter and Ryles-tube care, dressing changes. Coordinated with whichever doctor is already treating the patient.
More on this →Elder Care
Daily help with bathing, meals, moving around the house safely, and remembering medication. Also just company, which matters more than people expect.
More on this →Post-Surgery Recovery
The first two or three weeks after surgery are where things go wrong if nobody's watching closely. We manage wound care, pain, and the physio schedule so it doesn't slip.
More on this →Palliative Care
For chronic or end-of-life patients. Comfort and dignity come first here: symptom management, hygiene, and simply being present.
More on this →Physiotherapy at Home
For stroke recovery, orthopaedic cases, or general mobility work with elderly patients. Delivered at your address, so there's no need to travel for a session.
More on this →Post-Natal Care
Female attendants who help new mothers through recovery and take on the newborn routine: feeding, sleep, the general chaos of the first weeks.
More on this →Bedridden Patient Care
Repositioning to prevent bedsores, feeding, hygiene. Long-term care that needs patience as much as skill.
More on this →General Caretaker
An extra pair of hands and company through the day, whether that's an hour, a full day, or round the clock.
More on this →Intensive Care at Home
Closer monitoring for seriously ill patients, including staff comfortable working with breathing support equipment.
More on this →What actually matters when you're choosing a caregiver
You can manage this from anywhere
Quite a few of our Udupi families are calling from Manipal, Bengaluru, or overseas. We send updates without being chased for them.
Checked before they're sent, not after
ID and background verification happen upfront. We wouldn't send someone into your home otherwise.
They'll actually talk to your parent
Kannada, Tulu, English, whatever's comfortable. Communication matters more than people give it credit for.
The price doesn't move after you agree to it
Whatever we quote for your shift is what you pay. Nothing extra shows up later.
Not stuck if it's not working out
If the caregiver isn't the right match, say so. We'll send someone else — no long explanation needed.
Male or female, your call
Some families want a female attendant for an elderly mother, others want a male attendant for a father. We ask, then match accordingly.
The checks we actually run, not just the ones we advertise
Since a stranger is entering someone's home, here's exactly what happens before that.
🪪 ID verification, every time
Completed before assignment. There's no version of this where it happens later.
📋 A scope of care, written down
We agree what's covered before the first shift starts, which helps when a family member abroad is the one approving it.
🩺 Clinical tasks go to trained staff only
Injections, catheter care, wound dressing: handled only by caregivers actually qualified for that specific task.
🏥 We follow the hospital's plan
Coming home from Kasturba (KMC), TMA Pai, Adarsha or Baliga Memorial? The discharge instructions are what we follow, not a generic routine.
₹ Price fixed before day one
Confirmed and shared in writing upfront. Nothing renegotiated once care has started.
🔁 A replacement if needed, no argument
Tell your coordinator it's not working. We'd rather fix it than have you put up with it.
Areas around Udupi and Manipal we cover
If your area isn't listed, call anyway. We'll check who's available before you commit to anything.

Before you call, a few things worth knowing
Which parts of Udupi and Manipal do you cover?
We don't live in Udupi anymore. Can we still arrange care for a parent there?
How soon can someone start?
What's this going to cost?
Who exactly is coming into our home?
Can the caregiver follow instructions from KMC or another hospital after discharge?
What if the caregiver isn't a good fit for my father or mother?
Do you have both male and female attendants?
A few things people have told us
"My brother's in Dubai, I'm in Bengaluru, and our mother is alone in Ajjarkad. Finding someone we both trusted from two different cities wasn't easy, but it worked out. She calls us if anything's off."
"After my husband came home from KMC, I was terrified I'd get the wound care wrong. The caretaker they sent knew exactly what to do and didn't need me hovering over her."
"My grandfather barely speaks English, mostly Tulu. That was our biggest worry honestly. Took two days to find someone who could actually talk to him properly, and he likes her."
About Mahara Home Care
Mahara Home Care started in 2025, working out of Mangalore, with a team that's spent 7+ years between them doing home nursing and elder care across coastal Karnataka. This page is specifically about what we do in Udupi and Manipal. We also cover Mangalore and Mysuru, but the caregivers, the process and the pricing here are set up for this area.
The short version of how we operate: we check every caregiver before sending them out, we put the scope of care in writing so nobody's guessing, and if something's outside what we can safely handle, we say so instead of taking it on anyway.
