What your caregiver does
What your caregiver does not do
Each of these is a nursing task, not caregiver work. Tell your supervisor and we will arrange a referral to a registered nurse.

How It Works
No caregiver is placed until our geriatric team has seen the patient and approved the level of care.
Our geriatric team assesses your parent at home. This decides whether Eldercare is appropriate, and at what level.
We match a trained caregiver on skill, language and temperament, and introduce them before the placement begins.
A named supervisor visits, the geriatrician reviews, and daily logs reach you in Aegis EMR.
Why Aegis
The market sells caregiving as home nursing. We name it correctly and staff it correctly.
No placement without a screener. The clinical team decides, not a placement agent.
A named supervisor visits, reviews the work in person and is reachable by the family.

Questions
No. Your caregiver is a trained attendant. Injections, wound care, catheters and tube feeding are nursing tasks. We will refer you to a registered nurse rather than send a caregiver to do them.
Yes. A day shift is 12 hours at LKR 7,000, booked by the day. Live in cover is 24 hours and is booked weekly or monthly. We do not offer hourly bookings.
A visit from our geriatric team before we approve a placement. It confirms whether Eldercare is appropriate, and sets the level of care your parent needs.
Tell your supervisor. We replace, no argument and no extra cost.
Yes. For live in care the family provides sleeping facilities, two meals, one tea and one snack pack a day, a secure place for belongings and access to a washroom.
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 from our geriatric team, an honest answer on what your parent needs, and a fee in writing.
