Questions, answered plainly

Fees, visits, medical care, memory support β€” no brochure language.

What is included in the monthly fee?

Stay, meals (3+2), laundry, personal care, nurse rounds, vitals, activities. Doctor consultation and medicines extra β€” billed actuals, no markup. We share the bill with notes, not just totals.

Can we visit anytime?

09:00–19:00 daily β€” no appointment. Night stays need prior word for the bed. Video calls at fixed evening slots β€” 18:30 to 19:30 β€” so the day isn’t interrupted. You can also take your parent out for a day β€” just inform the nurse by 10 am.

How is medical emergency handled?

Doctor on call, nurse on wing, oxygen and vitals on site, ambulance tie-up 8 minutes away with Manipal Whitefield. Family called before ambulance moves β€” we conference, then move. Emergency contacts printed on the bedside card.

Is there a lock-in period?

No. Notice one month β€” or adjust to short stay (β‚Ή1,800 / day). We also offer 15-day trial living at studio rate to decide slowly. If you leave early, we refund pro-rata, no questions.

Do you handle dementia care?

Yes β€” Sahay Cottage with secure tulsi garden, validation therapy, family education fortnightly. Not a locked ward β€” open and attended. Colour cues, scent cues, same chair and raga daily. Ratio 1:4 in cottage.

Can we bring own doctor or outside food?

Yes β€” own doctor can visit, we share vitals and diet chart and follow their notes. Outside food allowed if diet-compliant β€” we just note it in the register so nurse knows salt/sugar.

What about festivals and food habits?

We ask at admission β€” which festival matters, what food is non-negotiable, what time tea is. Kitchen cooks what the festival needs β€” modak, biryani, payasam β€” not a common sweet. The home adjusts to the person.
