Aegis nurse providing geriatric home care in Colombo

Medically reviewed Clinically reviewed by Dr. Sithira Senevirathne, Consultant Geriatrician and Clinical Director, Aegis Health. Last reviewed August 2026.

A Caregiver Is Not a Nurse

In Sri Lanka, live in eldercare is routinely marketed as “home nursing” while the person who arrives is a caregiver. Families pay for clinical assurance they are not receiving, and caregivers are quietly expected to perform procedures they were never trained or licensed to perform. Both are unsafe.

Aegis names each service by who actually delivers it. Our caregivers provide daily living support and are excellent at it. Anything clinical is carried out by a registered nurse or a doctor. Nothing falls between the two, because both sit inside the same care plan and the same record.

The Clinic Comes With Us

  • Every plan designed and reviewed by our Consultant Geriatrician
  • A named care supervisor who visits and is reachable by the family
  • Daily logs, vitals trends and medication adherence in Aegis EMR
  • A defined escalation path from caregiver to supervisor to clinician
  • Priority access to the Aegis clinics and to respite at the residence
  • Caregivers and nurses employed with EPF, ETF and statutory entitlements

One assessment, one plan

Every observation from the home lands in the same record, reviewed by the same geriatrician who runs our clinics.

Start with an assessment,
not a contract.

One visit, one honest opinion about what your family actually needs, and a written plan you are free to walk away from.
