Hiring an elderly care attendant for your home in India
Elderly care at home covers a wide range — from a companion who helps with daily routine and medication reminders, to a trained attendant handling bedridden or post-surgery care.
Getting the level right matters more than anything else in this hire. On Sevetu you post the actual level of care needed, review ID-verified profiles, and agree terms directly with the attendant.
What can an elder care attendant help with?
How to hire, in four honest steps
Post your elder-care job
Share the role, timings and budget you have in mind. It takes about two minutes.
Review verified applicants
Compare experience, skills and ID verification at a glance — you always know who you are talking to.
Chat & agree on terms
Settle salary, hours, weekly off and duties over secure in-app chat. You decide the terms.
Sign a digital agreement
What you both agreed is recorded in a simple digital work agreement — clear for both sides.
How much does an elderly care attendant cost?
Pay tracks the level of care far more than the hours. A companion and a trained attendant handling a bedridden patient are different jobs at different rates.
Day companion (8–12 hrs)
₹12,000 – ₹22,000 / month
Company, meals, mobility and medication reminders.
24-hour / live-in attendant
₹18,000 – ₹30,000 / month
Round-the-clock support including nights.
Trained / post-surgery care
₹25,000 – ₹40,000 / month
Bedridden care, catheter or wound care experience.
These are typical market ranges, not Sevetu's prices. You agree the wage directly with the worker and it is recorded in your digital work agreement — Sevetu never takes a commission or cut of the salary. Posting a job and reviewing verified applicants is always free. For city-level detail see the Bangalore salary guide.
What to check before you hire an elderly care attendant
Be honest about the level of care
Understating what is needed leads to someone quitting in the first week. Describe mobility, continence and medical needs plainly.
Ask about specific experience
Dementia, stroke recovery and post-operative care are distinct skills. Ask which they have actually done.
Plan the night shift properly
If you need 24-hour care, one person cannot do it alone indefinitely. Most families use two attendants on shifts.
Meet before you commit
A profile and a chat get you most of the way, but meet in person before the start date. Trust your own read of the person as well as the badge.
Understand what Verified means
The Verified badge comes from a government-ID (KYC) check. It confirms identity — it is not a police or criminal background check. Do your own diligence too.
Write the duties down
Most arrangements go wrong over duties nobody agreed. List exactly what is included before the first day and record it in the work agreement.
Sevetu vs an agency, a broker or a WhatsApp group
Most families in India find attendants one of four ways. They are not equivalent, and the differences show up in what you pay and what happens when something goes wrong.
| Route | What it costs you | Who you actually talk to | Is it verified? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sevetu | Nothing. You pay only the salary, direct to the attendant | The attendant themselves, in app chat | ID/KYC check with a Verified badge |
| Placement agency | Typically one month's salary as a placement fee, often repeated on replacement | An agent. You usually meet the attendant on day one | Varies. Often claimed, rarely evidenced |
| Local broker / dalal | A cut of the salary, sometimes every month, sometimes from both sides | The broker, who controls the relationship | No |
| WhatsApp group / classifieds | Free | Whoever answers. Often a broker posing as the worker | No. No identity check at all |
The honest trade-off: an agency does the shortlisting for you and will usually send a replacement. On Sevetu you review profiles and interview yourself, which takes an hour or two — and in exchange nobody takes a cut, from you or from the attendant.

Frequently asked questions
There is no fee to compare. A placement agency typically charges one month's salary as a placement fee, and a local broker often takes a cut every month. Sevetu charges neither the household nor the worker anything — you pay only the agreed salary, directly. What you give up is the agency doing the shortlisting for you.
