Care Plans & Services
Focuses on what KareIQ offers, how care is structured, and customization options.
What services do you offer for elderly care at home?
We offer comprehensive care packages focused on preventive health and chronic disease management. Each plan is thoughtfully designed to support long-term wellness and can be customized to meet individual needs.
Can I subscribe only to the disease-focused care packages?
No. At KareIQ, we believe in holistic care. Disease-focused packages are offered as add-ons to our core preventive care plans. This ensures that every customer receives proactive support—not just treatment for existing conditions, but also protection against future health risks.
Can I subscribe to the packages for short-term?
Our care packages are built for long-term health management and are structured over a minimum duration of one year. While we don’t encourage early discontinuation, customers may choose to end their subscription at the completion of the annual term.
Can I avail on-demand services if I’m not a KareIQ subscriber?
Yes, select on-demand services such as wellness packages (KareBalance and KareMind) and bystander support are available even without a subscription. These services are designed to complement our care packages and are offered independently when needed.
Can services be adjusted as needs change?
Yes. If your needs evolve, our customer service team can help you customize or upgrade your care plan accordingly.
What is the process for creating a care plan?
We offer a range of pre-designed care packages tailored to common elderly care needs. If none of the standard plans suit your requirements, our team will help you customize one based on your preferences and health goals.
Do you offer a free consultation or assessment?
No. However, we do offer a complementary trial pack for ₹ 109 which gives you access to 1-week of our HomePlus plan (includes 3 home visits) for new customers before onboarding.
Can I get a customized care plan based on my budget?
Yes. While our packages are designed to meet common elderly care needs, we understand that every individual is unique. You can work with our team to customize a plan that fits your specific requirements and budget.
Can I request more visits than what is included in the plan?
No. Visit frequency is tied to the selected package. However, our range of plans ensures you’ll find one that aligns with your needs.
Caregiver Team & Safety
Covers caregiver qualifications, selection, training, and client safety.
Who are your caregivers and what qualifications do they have?
Our caregiving team includes qualified nurses (Diploma/B.Sc), psychologists, and social work graduates—many of whom hold master’s degrees. Each professional is trained to deliver compassionate, high-quality care.
How do you select your caregivers?
Caregivers are handpicked through a rigorous three-tier screening process led by our founders. We verify backgrounds through references and police clearance checks before onboarding.
Are your caregivers trained in first aid and emergency response?
Yes. All caregivers undergo first aid and CPR training as part of their induction.
Will the same caregiver be assigned every time?
Not necessarily. Caregivers are assigned based on availability and location routing to ensure timely service.
How do you ensure the safety of your clients?
Client safety is paramount. All caregivers undergo background checks and receive training in safety protocols, service quality, and professional conduct. If you have concerns, our operations team is available for immediate support.
Are background checks conducted on caregivers?
Yes. We conduct thorough background checks, including reference verification, police clearance, and emotional assessments using industry-standard tools.
Pricing, Payments & Policies
Details about costs, billing, payment methods, and visit policies.
How much do your services cost?
Our preventive care packages start at ₹4,499/month (All inclusive). Pricing varies based on the services selected, and we maintain a transparent pricing policy—everything is listed clearly on our website.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. We believe in transparent pricing. You pay only what’s displayed on our website—no hidden charges.
How can I pay for your services?
All services are prepaid and payable online via debit/credit card, UPI, or internet banking. In line with India’s digital initiative, we do not accept cash payments.
How is billing handled?
Though our plans are annual, we offer flexible payment options—monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly. Invoices are generated and shared within one week of payment via your registered email and your customer dashboard.
How do I schedule or change an appointment?
Currently, we do not offer rescheduling. Our caregivers follow optimized routes to serve multiple clients daily, and changes disrupt this flow. We appreciate your understanding.
Can I request care only during certain hours or days?
You may request visits on specific days of the week. However, time slots are subject to caregiver availability and routing efficiency.
What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a visit?
We do not offer cancellation or rescheduling of visits. However, subscribers of our HomePlus and HomeElite plans may pause services for a limited duration each year.
