Book Home Nursing in Karachi

Home nursing is most often arranged for post-operative recovery, elderly patients needing daily assistance, palliative care, and patients discharged with a catheter, feeding tube or wound requiring dressing. Providers distinguish between qualified nurses, who can carry out clinical tasks under medical instruction, and trained attendants, who assist with mobility, hygiene and feeding.

A trained attendant on a twelve-hour shift is generally Rs 4,000 to Rs 7,000, and a qualified nurse Rs 8,000 to Rs 15,000 per shift. Round-the-clock cover on a monthly basis runs Rs 1.2 to Rs 2.8 lakh depending on the skill level required. Rates are higher in DHA, Bahria Town and outer Rawalpindi where travel is longer.

Verify the qualification and registration of anyone described as a nurse, ask the agency for CNIC and reference checks, and confirm exactly which tasks the person is trained and permitted to perform. Keep the treating doctor instructions in writing at home, agree the handover process between shifts, and establish an escalation contact at the agency for nights and weekends.
