Get reliable, secure, local care services for parents in Delhi

For people who want to care for their elders living in Delhi, but cannot be there, every day.

As featured in The Economic Times

Local to Delhi

Delhi has extreme weather. The winter cold and smog turn breathing into a health risk. The summer heat and dehydration risk that keeps people indoors for weeks at a stretch. For a parent living alone in the capital, that means long stretches where stepping outside isn't really an option, and the quiet erosion of daily movement, sunlight, and social contact that comes with it can go unnoticed by family watching from a screen. Samarth ensures someone is watchful and paying attention while providing dignity centred care.

When a heart attack struck in the early hours

“Prerna is true to her name which means inspiration. For the past 8 months, she has always come to my support, in clinic, hospital, dispensary or even in Gurdwara… I recall that fateful day, 18th December 2025, when in the wee hours I suffered a heart attack. The moment she was informed she immediately rushed to the hospital and took charge.”

The moment she got the call, Prerna rushed to the hospital and took charge – exactly when Kulwant needed her most.

When hospital visits needed someone alongside

“The team is responsive and available.

The team also keeps in regular touch with my parents and my mother feels comfortable with both Namrata and Renu.”

When a reluctant father asked for his own appointment

“They made my father independent again. I was surprised how the last doctor check up went smoothly. He is usually reluctant for appointments and this time he called the care manager himself, for the visit and went for the doctor visit. It was huge progress. Thank you so much, I am grateful to have you assigned.”

What families say about Samarth

Told through the doubts they answer

On whether someone else can truly be there

“Samarth fills a huge gap in India, especially for people like me who cannot be there in person to care for our parents.”

Distance Relief

This is what most families tell us: when you cannot be there yourself, what matters most is knowing someone genuinely is.

Rajesh J.

“You were our trusted confidantes for nearly 2 years. The personal touch you provided was appreciated by all of us.”

Care Like Family

“I enjoy empowering elders to live independently and comfortably at home. I love to see their faces brighten with genuine smiles. I treat their various needs and requests as a challenge and I get so much satisfaction when their problems are solved. I can't think of anything else I want to do and at no other place would I get so much good will and so many blessings.”

Recognised by India's leading publications for redefining eldercare

Founded in 2016 by alumni of IIT, IIM, Cambridge, Yale and McKinsey, Samarth was born from a personal crisis. When a Founder’s father suffered a stroke in Dehradun, he was in a different city with no system in place to help. Samarth is what they built in response. 

Samarth Care's app is undeniably a game changer in elder care. It's incredible to see how technology is paving the way for quick and efficient emergency response, keeping families connected even from miles away.

FAQ

Senior care in Delhi

Yes, the cold and smog are reasons for worry about elders in Delhi. October to February is genuinely the riskiest stretch for anyone with heart or lung conditions in Delhi. A working plan looks like an air purifier already running in their bedroom, someone checking the AQI daily so going out is timed around it, and a care manager who knows what to watch for.

It does, more than people expect. NCT of Delhi includes, Gurgaon that falls under Haryana, Noida under UP, and Delhi is its own state, which means different police jurisdictions and different hospital networks depending on exactly where your parents live. Coordinating care means knowing your parents’ specific hospital and local emergency contacts. Samarth has dedicated teams for each part of the NCT of Delhi.

Yes, and it’s worth taking seriously rather than brushing off. These scams specifically target elderly people living alone, and cases in Delhi have cost many families lakhs of rupees. Basic habits like, never sharing OTPs or bank details over the phone, and being wary of anyone claiming to be police or a government official demanding urgent payment, should be constantly reiterated.
It’s an understandable feeling that many people who live away from their ageing parents are going through and also an unnecessary one. Even if you did move back there is no guarantee that you will be able to spare the time required for doing everything. A trained care manager who is around, tracks health ups and downs, catches problems early, while becoming a trusted companion who assists your parents with paperwork etc. may prove to be better care than what’s realistically possible with occasional visits, however much love is behind them.
A non-medical attendant runs Rs 700 to Rs 1,500 per visit, or Rs 25,000 to Rs 45,000 a month for full-time live-in support through a proper agency. Daily nursing care for ongoing medical needs typically adds up to Rs 18,000 to Rs 35,000 a month on top of that.
They cover different things. An attendant helps with meals, mobility, and daily routine. A nurse handles medical tasks, wound care, medication, monitoring vitals, that an attendant isn’t trained or licensed to do. A care management plan adds an educated and trained care manager as a supervision layer on top either the attendant or nurse or both.
Genuinely dangerous, not just uncomfortable. Elderly adults often don’t feel thirsty until they’re already dehydrated, so heat stroke can develop before anyone notices something’s wrong. Caretakers actively manage fluid intake and limit outdoor exposure during peak heat rather than waiting for symptoms.
Yes, it does. A twenty-minute drive can genuinely take an hour depending on the route and time of day, and that gap matters in a real emergency. Having a robust team that is working on-the-ground and in real-time to co-ordinate ambulance arrival, and a care manager who already knows the full medical history, and your parent’s doctor helps get care started quickly.
The Samarth care manager dedicated to your family doesn’t work alone. There are three layers of systems and people who support the care manager in everything they do for your parents. In ever your care manager is unavailable then there will always be someone equally good taking over.
Our Delhi-based care managers are all wonderful people whose background is verified and they attend structured training. They are all educated, compassionate and patient people who do this work because caring is in their nature and they have experience caring for elders in their own family or circle. 47% of our care managers hold Master’s or PhD qualifications, while 17% hold BTech or MBA degrees.
Don’t lead with “you need help.” Lead with something specific and low stakes like, help with errands, or accompanying to the bank, and let trust build from there. Most resistance is really about not wanting to feel like a burden or lose independence, not about rejecting help itself.
That depends on the degree of seriousness. As long as your parents wish to remain at home Samarth care scales with them. Samarth allows you to get them the attendant or at-home-nurses, with the layer of care management on top for supervision. You get peace of mind that someone is monitoring the staff who are in the house with your parents.
