Aayan Global provides home nursing services across Mangalore and the wider Dakshina Kannada district. We have operated in this region since 2015, and our Mangalore branch currently deploys nursing staff to families in every part of the city — from Kadri and Kankanady to Surathkal and Ullal — as well as surrounding towns in DK district.
Our nursing team includes staff qualified at ANM, GNM, and BSc Nursing levels. ANM-certified nurses handle the majority of routine home care assignments. When a patient's condition calls for advanced clinical intervention — ventilator monitoring, tracheostomy care, IV therapy, or post-ICU step-down supervision — we assign a GNM or BSc Nursing professional. The qualification tier is determined during the initial home assessment, not guessed over the phone.
Every nurse deployed through Aayan holds a current registration with the Karnataka State Nursing Council. We verify this registration independently before any assignment. Staff also undergo Aayan's own in-house training programme, run through contracted hospitals and senior care facilities in the region, which covers practical skills, infection control protocols, and family communication.
Home nursing is not a single service — it covers a range of care levels depending on the patient's condition. Here is what our nurses are trained and deployed for in Mangalore:
For older adults who need daily assistance but prefer to remain at home rather than move to a residential facility. The nurse helps with bathing, dressing, mobility, medication reminders, and vital sign monitoring. For patients with conditions like diabetes or hypertension, the nurse tracks readings and flags anything unusual to the family and treating doctor.
Hospitals in Mangalore — including KMC, AJ, Father Muller, and Yenepoya — often discharge patients within days of surgery. The recovery happens at home, and that is where complications are likeliest to be missed. Our nurses handle wound care, drain management, medication scheduling, physiotherapy exercises prescribed by the surgeon, and daily progress tracking. They know what to escalate and when.
Patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation often need nursing support between hospital sessions. Our nurses administer prescribed pain medication, monitor for side effects (nausea, dehydration, infection risk from lowered immunity), manage feeding and nutrition, and maintain a daily log that the treating oncologist can review at the next appointment.
For patients with terminal conditions, the focus shifts from cure to comfort. Our palliative care nurses manage pain relief, prevent bedsores, maintain hygiene, and provide the kind of steady, patient presence that reduces distress for both the patient and the family. We coordinate with the palliative care teams at local hospitals to ensure the care plan stays aligned with medical advice.
Stroke patients need consistent, structured rehabilitation — not just in the first few weeks, but often for months. Our nurses assist with prescribed physiotherapy routines, monitor speech and motor recovery milestones, manage feeding (including nasogastric feeding where required), and help prevent secondary complications like deep vein thrombosis and aspiration pneumonia.
In the weeks after delivery, both the mother and the newborn need attentive care. Our nurses support with breastfeeding guidance, umbilical cord care, bathing the newborn, monitoring the mother's postpartum recovery, and flagging early signs of complications such as mastitis or postpartum haemorrhage.
Some patients need daily injections — insulin, blood thinners, antibiotics — that a family member cannot safely administer. Our nurses visit at scheduled times, administer the injection using proper technique and hygiene, document the dose, and leave. This avoids a daily hospital trip for what is a five-minute clinical task.
There are three tiers of nursing qualification in India, and understanding the difference matters when you are choosing care for someone at home:
ANM (Auxiliary Nurse Midwife): A two-year diploma. ANM nurses are trained in basic nursing care, first aid, maternal and child health, and community health. This is the qualification held by most of our nursing staff, and it is appropriate for the majority of home care situations — elder care, medication management, vital sign monitoring, and daily living support.
GNM (General Nursing and Midwifery): A three-and-a-half-year diploma with clinical rotations in surgery, medicine, paediatrics, and obstetrics. GNM nurses can handle more complex clinical tasks — IV cannulation, catheter management, wound dressing for surgical sites, and monitoring patients on oxygen therapy.
BSc Nursing: A four-year university degree. BSc nurses have the deepest clinical training and are assigned to cases involving ventilator care, tracheostomy management, post-ICU patients, or situations where the treating doctor specifically requests a degree-qualified nurse.
We do not choose the qualification tier for you — it is determined by the patient's actual condition during the initial home assessment. If the condition changes (for example, a patient recovering from surgery develops a complication), the assigned nurse can be upgraded to a higher-qualified staff member without restarting the process.
Every nurse's Karnataka State Nursing Council registration is verified by our team before deployment. We also run a background verification, collect original certificates on file, and require completion of Aayan's own training programme before a nurse is cleared for assignment.
Our Mangalore branch serves the entire city and surrounding areas in Dakshina Kannada district. There is no part of Mangalore we do not cover.
Within Mangalore city: Kadri, Bejai, Kankanady, Falnir, Hampankatta, Bendoorwell, Surathkal, Derebail, Kottara, Jeppu, Bunder, Kudroli, Pumpwell, Attavar, Bikarnakatte, Urva, Padil, Bajpe, Ullal, Mulki, Mangaladevi, Kodialbail, Lalbagh, and all connecting areas.
Wider DK district: Bantwal, Puttur, Sullia, Belthangady, Vitla, and Moodbidri. For locations beyond 30 km from the city centre, we confirm nurse availability before booking.
We also operate branches in other parts of coastal Karnataka:
We offer four shift formats, chosen based on the patient's condition and the family's routine:
12-hour day shift — typically 7 AM to 7 PM. Suited for patients who need active care and supervision during waking hours but have a family member present at night.
12-hour night shift — typically 7 PM to 7 AM. Common for post-surgical patients or those at risk of falls or confusion during the night.
24-hour care with rotation — two nurses alternate in 12-hour shifts. Required for patients who cannot be left unattended at any time — ventilator-dependent patients, advanced dementia, or critical post-ICU recovery.
Short-term recovery support — a few days to a few weeks. For patients discharged after surgery or a hospital stay who need professional monitoring during the acute recovery window.
Step 1 — You call or submit an enquiry. Tell us the patient's condition, location in Mangalore, and the type of care needed. Call +91 73495 13467 or use the form on this page.
Step 2 — Free home assessment. A coordinator visits the patient at home to assess the medical condition, mobility, medication schedule, and the physical setup of the care space. This determines the nurse qualification level and shift format. There is no charge for this visit.
Step 3 — Nurse matching and deployment. Based on the assessment, we match a nurse whose qualifications and experience fit the case. Deployment within Mangalore city typically happens within 24 to 48 hours. Urgent post-discharge cases are prioritised for same-day placement where available.
Step 4 — Ongoing monitoring. Our coordinator checks in regularly with the family and the nurse. If the patient's condition changes, we adjust the care plan — including upgrading the nurse's qualification tier if needed.
Mangalore has some of the strongest hospitals in coastal Karnataka — KMC, AJ Hospital, Father Muller, Yenepoya, Unity, Highland. But hospital stays beyond the acute phase are expensive, expose the patient to hospital-acquired infections, and separate them from family. Home nursing exists to bridge that gap: the clinical skills of a trained nurse, delivered in the familiar and controlled environment of the patient's own home.
For elderly patients in particular, remaining at home makes a measurable difference. Familiar surroundings reduce confusion and agitation (especially in patients with cognitive decline), maintain the patient's sense of independence, and allow the family to stay involved in day-to-day care rather than visiting during hospital hours.
The practical reality for most families in Mangalore is that a working adult cannot be the full-time caregiver. A qualified home nurse fills that role reliably — not as a substitute for the family, but as the trained pair of hands that ensures the patient is safe, clean, fed, medicated, and monitored around the clock.
Our nursing staff hold ANM (Auxiliary Nurse Midwife), GNM (General Nursing and Midwifery), or BSc Nursing qualifications. ANM-certified nurses handle the majority of routine home care. GNM and BSc nurses are assigned when the patient's condition requires advanced clinical skills such as tracheostomy management, IV therapy, or ventilator monitoring.
We serve all of Mangalore city and the wider Dakshina Kannada district — Kadri, Bejai, Kankanady, Falnir, Hampankatta, Surathkal, Ullal, and every other area. We also cover Bantwal, Puttur, Sullia, Belthangady, Moodbidri, and Vitla.
Four formats: 12-hour day shift, 12-hour night shift, 24-hour care with nurse rotation, and short-term recovery support lasting a few days to a few weeks.
Within Mangalore city, 24 to 48 hours after the initial assessment. Urgent post-discharge cases are prioritised for same-day or next-day placement.
A coordinator visits the patient at home to evaluate their condition, mobility, medication schedule, and the care area setup. This determines the nurse's qualification level, shift duration, and any equipment needed. The assessment is free.
Yes. If the patient or family is not comfortable with the assigned nurse, contact us and we will arrange a replacement at no additional charge.
Yes. Our nurses support cancer patients at home with pain medication administration, wound and drain management, nutritional monitoring, and palliative comfort care. They maintain a daily log for the treating oncologist.
Yes. Our elder-care-trained nurses manage patients with dementia or Alzheimer's — assisting with orientation, preventing wandering, managing sundowning, and maintaining a structured daily routine.
A nurse holds a formal qualification (ANM, GNM, or BSc) and performs clinical tasks: injections, vitals, catheters, wound dressing. A caretaker helps with daily living — bathing, feeding, mobility, companionship — but does not perform clinical procedures.
Call +91 73495 13467 or submit the enquiry form on this page. A coordinator will arrange the free home assessment and confirm the care plan and start date within 24 to 48 hours.
