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

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

Local to Pune

Pune has quietly become one of India's biggest retirement cities, but the city's calm pace can be deceptive. Without someone actively checking in, a health issue can sit unnoticed for weeks, especially the kind that doesn't have obvious symptoms early on. Samarth's local care managers visit in person, catching what a weekly phone call would miss, while letting a parent keep running their own household on their own terms.

Dementia affects roughly 1 in 24 residents over 65 in Pune and a screening study found that many cases go unrecognized by families.

"If something unfortunate happens, like going to the hospital, talking to the doctor, and giving all the information to the children who are far away, it's important that Care Managers are educated, knowledgeable about the process, able to escalate if something has not been done, and able to provide the right information to the children."

Not just one person, a team on the ground

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 Pune

Not at all, this worry is more common than you think. Many families approach this crossroads when the children must move away for personal or professional reasons and their parents don’t want to leave the house and the town they have lived in for decades. Hiring professional help to oversee your parents well-being doesn’t mean that you’re any less of a responsible child, in fact the opposite can be argued. Professional care services like Samarth simply step in in a logistical, physical capacity – your family is still the one making all the decisions and being informed every step of the way.

The way care is delivered is highly personalised, and all factors including the area and the housing situation is part of the consideration. Older neighbourhoods like Sadashiv Peth or Shukrawar Peth often have narrower lanes and less building security than newer complexes in Hinjewadi or Baner, so access and safety planning look significantly different. The plan gets built around the actual home, not a generic city-wide assumption.
Trying to introduce the idea of professional help is usually what triggers the automatic defence. Samarth recommends ‘the invisible start’, which includes starting with one small, specific task, like accompanying your parent to the bank, or joining their regular grocery run. This easing-in usually tends to land better than a big scary change and most resistance eases once they see the person fitting into their life, rather than taking over.
An attendant usually takes over and helps in the hands-on and monotonous tasks, like meals, bathing and helping your parent get around. What you don’t get from an attendant alone if anyone tracking whether last week’s doctor follow-up was done, or if their appetite has been lesser than usual lately. That’s a layer of supervision a dedicated elder care service provides – coordination and accountability, not just another pair of hands.
An attendant for elder care in Pune costs somewhere around Rs 20,000 to 30,000 a month and includes tasks like bathing, meals and mobility. However, since there is a lot of variation, a care advisor can help figure out the exact costs depending on your parents situation.
Do mention it specifically, and we will be happy to accommodate your request. Many of our Care Managers speak Marathi and other regional languages and we aim to match Care Managers to provide comfort and cultural familiarity to your parents. We pair care managers on language and personality fit as a standard, not an afterthought.
Often yes, since these townships provide a secure environment, but not dedicated medical oversight or a single accountable person tracking your parents well-being. A Care Manager adds this personal layer, health monitoring and overall coordination, from someone who knows your parents individually rather than the community as a whole.
Rather than taking the marketing at face value, look at who’s actually running things. Samarth already works across 350 Indian cities with a team of 600+ trained Care Managers, and the model itself, not just claims about it, has been covered by The Economic Times and Times of India as one of the more credible names in elder care. The founders come from IIT, IIM, Cambridge, Yale, and McKinsey, but it’s the decade of on-ground execution since 2016 that actually matters for your parents in Pune.
Some particularly around low-lying pockets and hilly stretches near the ghats face water-logging and slower traffic during monsoons. This can delay help and obstruct connectivity. It’s a smaller risk than Mumbai’s, but a Care Manager already on the ground still means faster response than relying on a call for help if ever needed.
Your parents’ care manager works in a small team which is aware of your parents history, files and preferences. So, just because one person isn’t available, doesn’t mean your family has to start over with someone new or a feel a break in the rhythm.
Proximity helps with visits, but there are still a lot of small moments in daily life, that require presence to form the full picture about your parents’ elder care. A local Care Manager means your parents have consistent support even between your visits, not just when something goes wrong.
Only if his home genuinely stops being workable, moving out would be considered. But usually that’s the exception, not the rule. More often what changes is the intensity of support around him, additional nursing hours, a live-in attendant if it comes to it. Everything is still coordinated by the same Care Manager who already knows his history. Relocating him is the last option we’d raise, never the default one.
The duration of the support needed is of course always personal to the family and almost anything can be accommodated according to your family’s needs. A care advisor can give personalised advice and help to set up something after getting to know the nuances of your situation.
Yes, our Care Managers are trained and adept to handling such admin tasks and are there to simplify all aspects of your parents life. If your parents need help with things like recharging DTH or broadband connections, setting up online payments or renewing a passport or updating their Aadhar Card or really anything else, their Care Manager can handle it.
The elder care and parent care in Pune network spans areas including Kothrud, Aundh, Baner, Viman Nagar, Camp, and Hinjewadi, among others, with coverage expanding continuously. If your parents reside outside the mentioned areas, it’s worth checking with our Care Advisors as we are often able to accommodate requests.
