Home Nursing & Elder Care in Pune
Pune has one of India’s largest populations of parents living on their own. The children moved for work — often to Bengaluru, Hyderabad or abroad — and the parents stayed in the house they retired to. A large share of the care we arrange in this city is booked by somebody who does not live in it.

Booked from another city, delivered in this one
The defining feature of elder care in Pune is that the person paying is often a thousand kilometres away. That changes what a family needs from a provider: not just a competent caregiver, but proof that the visit happened.
Every visit here starts only when the family member at home reads out a four-digit PIN from their Eldrly account. The visit is timestamped, and a caregiver cannot mark themselves present without somebody at the address confirming it. For a son in Dubai, that single mechanism is worth more than any amount of reassurance over the phone.
Our guide to caring for parents from another city sets out the rest of the system — the medicine list, the local emergency contact, and what to arrange first.
A city that is much larger than it feels
Pune spreads a long way. Nigdi to Kondhwa is thirty kilometres, and a society in Wagholi is a different world from one in Deccan. Two things follow.
- Partners are matched within their own belt — west, east, south or the PCMC side — rather than across the whole city, which is what keeps the same person coming back.
- Large gated societies in Baner, Wakad and Magarpatta have their own entry procedures. A one-off word with the society office at the start prevents a daily argument at the gate.
- Older bungalows and wadas in the central areas often have steps at the entrance and no lift, which decides what equipment can be delivered and where the bed should go.
- Winter mornings in Pune are genuinely cold for an older adult with poor circulation, and early-morning bathing routines often need shifting later in December and January.
Long-term care rather than short-term recovery
Compared with Mumbai, a larger share of Pune bookings are ongoing rather than post-discharge — parents in their seventies and eighties managing diabetes, blood pressure, arthritis and early memory difficulty, with nobody in the house.
That shifts what matters. Continuity of caregiver matters more, because the relationship is the service. A monthly nurse quota for vitals and medicine review matters more than intensive nursing. And the caregiver often becomes the person who notices the change first — the missed meal, the new confusion, the bruise nobody mentioned.
Hospitals and discharges
Discharges reach us from Ruby Hall, Jehangir, Sahyadri, Deenanath Mangeshkar, Aditya Birla and the Noble and Columbia Asia hospitals on the eastern side. As everywhere, the useful move is to arrange the home before discharge day rather than during it.
Frequently asked questions
Which areas of Pune does Eldrly cover?
Central Pune, the western belt around Kothrud, Baner and Aundh, the eastern corridor through Viman Nagar, Kharadi and Hadapsar, the southern areas around Sinhagad Road and Kondhwa, and the Pimpri-Chinchwad belt. Availability is confirmed by pincode at booking.
I live abroad. How do I know the caregiver actually visited my parents in Pune?
A visit only begins once someone at the address reads out a four-digit PIN from the family’s Eldrly account, and it is timestamped. A caregiver cannot record a visit without that confirmation.
Can I book and pay for my parents’ care from another country?
Yes. The booking, the payments and the visit records are all in one account, which is how most of our Pune arrangements are managed.
Do you cover Pimpri-Chinchwad?
Yes — Pimple Saudagar, Wakad, Chinchwad and Nigdi among others. Partners are matched within their own belt so the same caregiver can return each day.
