I am happy with the service. I wanted to be sure about details of nurse and availability on time . This was ensured. Communication about nurse was very smooth and I did not have to do many followups. I definitely recommend this . Price is slightly higher as compared to market. Overall I am happy with the service.

What Is Short Term Nursing Care?
When you or a loved one requires short-term medical support to recuperate, regain independence, or manage a medical condition for a limited time, consider short-term nursing care as a committed, expert helping hand. It's a targeted bridge to help someone get back on their feet or provide crucial support during a specified timeframe; it's not about long-term, indefinite care.
There are two ways to provide this kind of care:
Short-term nursing care at home: This allows for recovery and care in the comfortable, familiar environment of one's own home by sending qualified nursing professionals straight to your door. It's perfect for people who need professional medical care but don't need to be admitted to the hospital.
Short term nursing home care: Sometimes, a temporary stay in a specialized facility is more appropriate. These settings offer a structured environment with 24/7 access to care staff and resources, often beneficial for more intensive rehabilitation or complex medical needs immediately post-hospital. Find out more about our nursing care at home from Helpee by giving us a call or a WhatsApp message.
Who Needs Short Term Nursing Care?
Short-term nursing care may be required in a variety of circumstances. This flexible service is intended for people who require short-term medical support but are anticipated to stabilise or recover.
Here are a few typical situations:
-
Post-Surgery Recovery: Following surgery (such as heart or hip replacement), patients frequently require assistance with wound care, pain control, medication administration, and mobility. In these situations, short-term home care for the elderly is especially prevalent, enabling them to recover in the comfort of their own homes.
-
Acute Illness Recovery: Skilled nursing assistance may be necessary for a while while recovering from a serious infection, a stroke, or pneumonia. Until strength returns, this may entail helping with everyday living activities, nurse for injection at home, giving IV medication, or keeping an eye on vital signs.
-
Managing a Worsening Chronic Condition: Sometimes, a chronic condition like diabetes or COPD might flare up, requiring a temporary increase in medical supervision and care to stabilize the situation.
-
Caregiver Respite: Family caregivers are heroes, but they also need breaks to avoid burnout. Short-term nursing care, whether at home or in a residential setting, can provide temporary, professional cover, giving the primary caregiver much-needed rest.
-
Transition Care: Moving from a hospital back home can be a daunting transition. Short-term care can ease this process, ensuring a safe and supported return.
-
Rehabilitation Support: Following an injury or illness, individuals may need help with prescribed therapy exercises or require monitoring as they regain functional abilities.

FAQs
How long does short term home nursing care last?
Short-term home nursing care has a very flexible duration that is solely dependent on the needs and healing process of the individual. To guarantee a seamless transition, it might be for a few days, such as right after hospital discharge. Recovery from surgery or a serious illness may take several weeks. In certain instances, if the rehabilitation process is slower, it might continue for a few months. The important thing is that it is short-term and has the specific objective of assisting the person in regaining their independence or stabilising their condition. Usually, a care plan will specify an anticipated time frame that can be reviewed and modified as necessary.
What is the cost of short term nursing care at home?
Our goal at Helpee is to offer high-quality, reasonably priced nursing care. A certified nursing carer can be hired for ₹1000 per day for a 10-hour shift or ₹1500 per day for round-the-clock live-in care. Please remember that these are estimates and that the costs may vary depending on the type of care. For a quote and a list of available carer profiles, contact Helpee by phone.
How quickly can a nurse be arranged at home?
We are aware that an unexpected need for short-term nursing care may occur. Our goal at Helpee is always to get a nurse in as soon as possible. After the initial assessment and agreement on the care plan, we can frequently have a carer in place 24 to 48 hours later, especially for urgent needs. The precise amount of time, however, may vary depending on the particular care needs, the accessibility of locally qualified nurses, and the accuracy of the information submitted during the intake procedure. In order for us to start the process as soon as possible, we advise getting in touch with us as soon as you anticipate the need.
Is short term residential care safe for elderly with medical needs?
Indeed, trustworthy short-term residential care for the elderly is intended to provide a secure setting for people with medical needs. These facilities are frequently found in skilled nursing facilities or special respite care centres. These facilities have trained nurses and other care providers on duty around-the-clock. They have procedures in place for infection control, emergency response, medication management, and specialised care for a range of ailments.
