What Changes the Final Rate in Mangalore
The starting prices are a base. Several factors decide where a case falls:
- The patient's condition: a mobile patient who needs companionship and medication reminders needs different care from a bedridden patient with tubes, drains or pressure sores.
- Qualification: the qualification is set by what the condition requires, not by preference. A patient who needs catheter changes and wound dressing needs a GNM nurse. Read the caretaker vs nurse guide.
- Hours required: a 12-hour day or night shift, or 24-hour care with two nurses rotating 12-hour shifts so one is always awake.
- Duration: a few weeks after surgery is arranged differently from months of ongoing care.
- Location: the coordinator confirms whether the address in Mangalore affects the rate when the assessment is booked.
Who Provides the Care
- Caretaker: daily living support such as bathing, feeding, mobility and medication reminders.
- ANM nurse: daily living support, medication management and vital sign monitoring.
- GNM nurse: 3.5 years of clinical training. Gives injections, manages catheters, dresses surgical wounds and sets up IV lines.
- BSc nurse: ICU-level care, including ventilator, tracheostomy and critical care monitoring.
The coordinator recommends the right level after the free home assessment. For a comparison with hospital stay, read home nursing vs hospital care.

How to Plan Home Nursing Care
- Match the qualification to the patient's needs. If the patient needs only daily living support, a caretaker is enough.
- Choose the hours by the patient's night needs. A patient who sleeps through the night may need only a day shift.
- Ask the treating doctor how long professional nursing is likely to be needed and plan the booking around that.
- Ask the coordinator for the rate in writing after the assessment.
