What does an elder-care attendant cost in Islamabad?

A twelve-hour shift attendant is Rs 45,000 to Rs 75,000 a month and a live-in attendant Rs 65,000 to Rs 110,000 with board. Attendants with nursing training who can manage catheters, dressings or post-operative care cost Rs 90,000 to Rs 160,000. Two-shift arrangements for overnight cover need two attendants priced separately.

What can an attendant do and not do?

Attendants handle personal care, mobility, feeding, medication reminders and companionship. They should not give injections, manage IV lines or dress wounds unless they hold a nursing qualification. For those tasks, book a trained home nurse working to a doctor's written plan. Be explicit about the tasks required when you send the request.

How long does placement take?

Five to ten days for a properly matched attendant, because the fit with the patient matters more than in any other household role. A rushed placement often fails within a month, which is worse for the patient than waiting a week. Emergency same-week cover is possible but should be treated as a stopgap.

Can I request a female attendant?

Yes, and for a female patient it is usually the right arrangement. Set the preference on the request and the agency confirms the attendant's name and training before the placement is held. For male patients needing lifting and mobility support, a male attendant is often the practical choice.

Elder-Care Attendantsin Islamabad & Rawalpindi

This desk started in Islamabad, so this is where our data runs deepest. Everything below is written for Islamabad and Rawalpindi specifically — other cities are covered, in less detail.

Elder-care attendants cover personal care, mobility support, medication reminders, feeding and companionship. A twelve-hour shift attendant costs Rs 45,000 to Rs 75,000 a month in Islamabad. Live-in attendants are Rs 65,000 to Rs 110,000 with board included. Attendants with nursing training, who can manage catheters, wound dressing or post-operative care, command Rs 90,000 to Rs 160,000.

Households across F-8, F-10, G-9 and Bahria Town commonly run a two-shift arrangement so there is cover overnight. Agencies need five to ten days to place a properly matched attendant, because the fit between the attendant and the patient matters more here than in any other household placement and a rushed match rarely holds past a month.

Be clear about what the attendant is and is not qualified to do. An attendant is not a nurse; injections, IV lines and wound care need a qualified home nurse and a doctor's plan. Ask for police-verified CNIC, training certificates, and references from two previous families, and arrange a paid trial week before committing to a longer contract.
