Personal care
Bathing and dressing, toileting and continence support, oral care and grooming, at your parent's own pace.
Elder Care & Home Care
A nurse designs the care. The same caregiver delivers it.
NVQ certified, and named to you before the first visit.
Everyday help at home for a parent in Veyangoda and across the Gampaha district: personal care, medication reminders, meals, mobility support and company. Sujeewa Senadheera, Registered Nurse, is responsible for every care plan, and you are told who is coming by name before they arrive.
What you can hold us to.
Tomorrow
We visit and agree a care plan, then care can start the next day,
within 24 hours of your call.
No lock-in
Month to month. Leave on one week's notice. We review together
after the first week.
7am to 10pm
Sujeewa or Ranjana answers the phone, not a call centre. No
joining fee and no minimum booking.
A nurse is accountable
SLMC 16678 and SLNC 13473, checkable with both councils. Anything
clinical goes to her.
Who this is for
For a parent who wants to stay in their own home.
Most families arranging this are an adult son or daughter, often working long hours or living overseas, looking after a parent who manages most of the day alone but needs help with parts of it. Bathing. Remembering tablets. A proper meal. Someone in the house.
The aim is not to take over your parent's life. It is to put enough support around their day that staying at home stays possible, and that you are not guessing from another time zone about whether they ate, or whether they are steady on their feet this week.
What we help with
Support built around the day, not a task list.
Daily wellness
Medication reminders and daily routine, meals and hydration, and recording blood pressure or blood sugar where the care plan asks for it.
Comfort & mobility
Help with arthritis and joint discomfort, walking and getting in and out of a chair or bed, and keeping the house safer to move around.
Memory, routine & company
Keeping familiar routines steady, conversation and company, and a message to the family after every visit so you know how the day went without having to ask.
Recovery & family relief
Short-term support after a hospital stay or an illness, and respite for a family who normally does the caring themselves.
Every visit follows a care plan agreed with your family, not a fixed checklist. Not everything above is needed at every visit, and the plan changes as your parent's needs change.
A day, hour by hour
What a day on the Complete plan actually looks like.
An example, so you can picture it. Your parent's own plan is agreed with you before the first visit and will not look exactly like this.
-
7:00
The caregiver arrives. Curtains, a quick check on how the night went, and the kettle on.
Caregiver -
7:30
Bathing and dressing, unhurried. Breakfast, and the morning tablets put in front of your parent at the right time.
Caregiver -
9:30
A short walk if your parent is up to it, or exercises from the care plan. Blood pressure or blood sugar written down if the plan asks for it.
Caregiver -
11:00
The dressing on your father's leg is due, or a catheter needs changing. That is a nursing job, so it is Sujeewa who comes and does it, not the caregiver.
Registered nurse -
12:30
Lunch, cooked in your parent's own kitchen the way they like it. Tablets again. A rest.
Caregiver -
14:00
The part no price list shows: sitting and talking. The radio, a newspaper, a phone call to a grandchild dialled for them.
Caregiver -
16:00
The caregiver leaves, and you get a message: what your parent ate, whether they took their tablets, how they moved, how they seemed. Anything that looked different from yesterday.
Caregiver
How we work
Assist. Observe. Record. Report. Escalate.
Five steps, and the last one is the one that matters most. A caregiver who notices something is not left deciding what it means.
-
Assist
The caregiver does what your parent's care plan says: personal care, meals, mobility, medication reminders, company.
-
Observe
Noticing what a phone call cannot show. A meal left unfinished, a tablet missed, a parent quieter or less steady than last week.
-
Record
Written down at the visit, while it is accurate. A short visit record, not a wall of paperwork.
-
Report
A message to the family after the visit, sent by the person who was actually there.
-
Escalate
Anything worrying goes to the family. Anything clinical goes to Sujeewa, who is a Registered Nurse in this same practice, not an agency on the end of a phone. A caregiver never diagnoses and never changes a medicine.
A clear line
What a caregiver does, and what only a nurse does.
Certified caregiver
- Personal care: bathing, dressing, toileting, grooming
- Meals, hydration and mobility support
- Medication reminders
- Company, errands and appointments
- Observing and reporting changes to the family
Registered nurse
- Wound care, injections, catheter and NG tube procedures
- Clinical assessment
- Any change to medication or treatment
- Writing and reviewing the care plan itself
A caregiver does not diagnose, prescribe or change a dose. Anything clinical goes to Sujeewa or to your doctor. See our wound care and nursing services →
Who comes to the house
Everyone who works here, and exactly what they are qualified as.
Most home care companies tell you the company is certified. We would rather tell you what the person walking into your mother's house is qualified to do.

Care plans
Three monthly plans. Hours 7am to 4pm.
Every plan starts with a free conversation and a visit to meet your parent. The price below is a starting point, confirmed once we understand what is actually needed.
Essential
Rs. 69,000/month
Up to 4 hours a day, Mon to Sat
Complete
Rs. 99,000/month
7am to 4pm, Mon to Sat
Family Plus
Rs. 129,000/month
7am to 4pm, 7 days including poya days
Complete works out at about Rs. 420 an hour, which is the best value of the three. Essential is not the cheapest per hour, it is the smallest amount of help you can buy, for a parent who only needs part of the day covered. Nursing visits, wound care, physiotherapy, doctor consultations and lab tests are arranged separately and priced on their own.
Tell us about your parent's situation.
There is no charge for the conversation and no obligation to book anything. Sujeewa or Ranjana answers the phone between 7am and 10pm. If a plan suits you, care can start the next day.
