Caregiver Guide

Your parent needs a caregiver. You're managing from abroad. We handle the rest.

Finding a trustworthy caregiver in India is hard from abroad. Managing their quality and consistency is harder. Presence finds, vets, trains, and supervises caregivers so your parent gets excellent care—and you get peace of mind.

Why finding a caregiver from abroad is nearly impossible

Your parent is aging. They need help—getting around, managing medication, preparing meals, keeping the house clean. You can't be there. Finding a good caregiver from thousands of miles away feels impossible.

The Real Caregiver Challenges

  • • Finding trustworthy help: Who do you know to call?
  • • Verification: Are they actually qualified? Honest?
  • • Consistency: Will they show up every day?
  • • Quality: Are they caring for your parent or just going through motions?
  • • Supervision: How do you know they're doing a good job?
  • • Continuity: What if they quit? How do you find a replacement?

The Cost of Bad Caregiving

Your parent falls and you don't know. They skip meals. Medications are forgotten. They become isolated. The person you hired turns out to be unreliable. Without good caregiver coordination, your parent's quality of life deteriorates—and you're helpless from abroad.
