What Changes the Final Rate in Udupi
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 Udupi 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.

All services in the city are listed on the home nursing in Udupi page.
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.

Manipal Hospital Discharge Coordination
Udupi's proximity to Manipal – one of India's foremost medical hubs – means many patients in the district are discharged from Kasturba Hospital or KMC Manipal. Our discharge coordination process:
Before discharge: Call us at +91 73495 13467 as soon as the treating doctor confirms discharge. Our coordinator will visit the hospital, review the discharge summary, and meet the nursing team to understand the specific care requirements.
Same-day or next-day nurse deployment: Based on the patient's clinical needs (wound care, catheter management, IV medication, ventilator), we assign a nurse with the appropriate qualification. The nurse arrives at the patient's home in Udupi or surrounding areas within 24 hours of discharge.
Care continuity: The nurse follows the discharge plan from Manipal Hospital, including medication schedules, wound dressing protocols, physiotherapy exercises, and vital sign monitoring. If the treating doctor requires follow-up reports, we provide daily or weekly summaries.
Emergency protocol: If the patient's condition deteriorates, the nurse contacts the treating doctor and our coordinator. We facilitate readmission to the same hospital if needed, ensuring the patient's records and history are immediately available.
