Homecare
Eldercare delivered at home, on a day shift or living in, staffed by trained caregivers and supervised by the same clinical team that runs our clinics. We never send a caregiver to do a nurse’s work, and we never charge nursing rates for caregiving.
Medically reviewed by the Aegis Clinical Team
The line we draw
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.
Oversight
Our Homecare Service
Every observation from the home lands in the same record, reviewed by the same geriatrician who runs our clinics.
How to request a caregiver
Every placement is clinically approved before anyone is assigned. We do not send a caregiver to a home our geriatric team has not assessed.
You start with a consultation with Dr. Sithira Senevirathne, or another of our Consultant Geriatricians. This is where the real needs get established, not over the phone.
The geriatrician issues a referral setting out the level of care your parent needs, and whether homecare is the right setting at all.
We write the care plan against that referral: what the caregiver does each day, what to watch for, and what to escalate.
Your parent is registered on Aegis OS, so the care plan, the daily notes and the family updates all sit in one record you can see.
Our Chief Nursing Officer briefs the assigned caregiver on the plan in person, so they arrive knowing the case rather than learning it on the job.
The caregiver is assigned and the placement begins, supervised by the same clinical team that wrote the plan.
One visit, one honest opinion about what your family actually needs, and a written plan you are free to walk away from.
