โ“ General

What does Vital Touch Home Healthcare Services offer? +

Vital Touch provides professional home nursing, elder care, patient attendants, physiotherapy, mother & baby care, medical equipment rental and critical/ICU-level care at home, delivered across Bengaluru by background-verified healthcare professionals.

Which areas in Bengaluru do you serve? +

We cover most of Bengaluru including Whitefield, HSR Layout, Koramangala, Indiranagar, Electronic City, Marathahalli, Jayanagar, JP Nagar, BTM Layout, Rajajinagar, Banashankari and many more neighborhoods. See our full coverage area for the complete list.

Is Vital Touch a registered home healthcare agency? +

Yes. Vital Touch operates as a professional home healthcare service in Bengaluru, and every nurse, caregiver and attendant we place is verified, trained and assessed before being assigned to a family.

What is the appropriate use of touch in health and social care? +

In professional caregiving, touch should always be respectful, consent-based, purposeful and used only where it supports clinical care or comfort — such as during nursing procedures, mobility assistance or personal hygiene support. Our caregivers are trained to maintain dignity, privacy and the patient's comfort at every step.

Who is the most important member of the home care team? +

The patient is always at the centre of the home care team. Around them, the family, the assigned nurse or caregiver, and our care coordinator work together — with the coordinator ensuring communication, scheduling and quality stay consistent throughout the care journey.

How is home healthcare different from a hospital stay? +

Home healthcare lets patients recover in a familiar environment with one-on-one attention, while typically costing less than an extended hospital stay. Vital Touch brings hospital-grade nursing, equipment and monitoring to your home, with our coordinators managing escalation to a hospital if it's ever needed.

Do you operate 24×7? +

Yes, our care coordination team is available 24×7, and we offer flexible shift options including 12-hour, 24-hour and live-in care depending on what the patient needs.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Cost & Pricing

What is the cost of 24-hour nursing care at home in Bangalore? +

What is the cost of a full-time nurse at home in Bangalore? +

Full-time (24-hour) nurse charges vary based on qualification, case complexity and duration — typically priced lower for longer-term bookings. Share your patient's requirement with our team and we'll provide an accurate, affordable estimate.

How much does it cost to hire a home nurse in Bangalore? +

What is the cost of home care for the elderly in Bangalore? +

Elder care costs depend on the level of support needed — from companionship and daily living assistance to full nursing supervision for conditions like dementia or Parkinson's. We tailor a plan and quote to your parent's specific needs.

No. We discuss pricing upfront based on your requirement, shift duration and service type, so there are no surprise charges once care begins.
