Most families do not need a nurse. They need a dependable person who arrives on time, knows how to move someone safely out of bed, notices when a parent has stopped eating, and can be trusted alone in the house. That is what an attendant does — locally also called an ayah or a patient attendant.
Attendants in New Town, Kolkata are usually engaged in 12-hour day shifts, 12-hour night shifts, or 24-hour live-in arrangements. A care manager can be added to supervise the attendant, coordinate doctor visits and report back to family living elsewhere.

Elderly Care Attendants in New Town: common questions
How much does an elderly care attendant cost in New Town, Kolkata?
Rates vary by shift length — 12-hour day, 12-hour night, or 24-hour live-in — and by how much lifting and medical support the patient needs. Each provider lists its own rates.
Is a 24-hour attendant one person or two?
A genuine 24-hour arrangement is normally two attendants on 12-hour shifts, because one person cannot stay alert for 24 hours. Some providers offer a single live-in attendant with defined rest hours instead, which costs less. Ask which model a quote refers to before comparing prices.
Can we meet the attendant before engaging them?
Yes. Ask the provider for a replacement if the fit is wrong — for a live-in arrangement, personality matters as much as skill. On Near Health, the verified badge on a profile means the organisation has been checked; the individual attendant is assigned by them.
What happens if the attendant does not turn up?
Continuity of cover is the main thing that separates a good agency from a bad one. Ask each provider what its replacement guarantee is and how fast it can substitute, and weight that as heavily as the daily rate.
