With a dedicated team of 3000+ medical professionals serving across Mumbai, including Thane and Navi Mumbai, as well as Delhi-NCR, Care24 aims to transform how medical expertise is delivered to home-bound and chronic patients in India.

Growing up in a country like India, where living in joint families is a common phenomenon, we never really had to worry about ‘leaving’. However, with a gradual shift towards nuclear families, and children going away to pursue higher education and lucrative jobs, parents (especially those growing old) are often at a loss when faced with any health issue. Helplessly, more often than not, they turn to the domestic help, who may not be a very reliable source of care.

This is what caught the attention of the founders of Care24. The company observed the lacuna that exists when it comes to providing quality healthcare at home, and came into being to create hospital at home wherein the standards are that of a world class hospital but it is in the comfort of one’s home. Established in December 2014 by IIT alumni Vipin, Abhishek and
Garima,Care24 is one of India’s first few venture backed start-ups in the home healthcare space. A Mumbai-based venture, Care24 aims to provide the best of hospital-based healthcare services to patients without having to move them from the comfort of their homes with the power of technology and good quality of healthcare professionals.

training programmes and focus on driving in-depth services in the markets the company operates in.“Our training programmes add value to the semi-skilled workforce, enhance the quality of their work and help them earn higher pay.

Care24’s offerings include 12- and 24-hour home care support for Post Surgery Cases, Elderly Care, Post Stroke Rehab, Medical Nursing at Home and Palliative care for cancer patients.

Each and every caregiver undergoes intensive professional training before serving the patients. Highly qualified Physiotherapists (BPTh, MPTh), Nutritionists and Counselors with 3+ years of experience are available for advice and treatment.
