GDA at Home — General Duty Attendant in Delhi NCR
A GDA — General Duty Attendant — handles the daily, non-clinical side of caring for someone at home: bathing and hygiene, feeding, helping with mobility and transfers, changing linen, and simply being present. It is demanding, unglamorous work that determines a patient's day-to-day comfort far more than any single medical procedure does. Families usually need a GDA rather than a medical attendant when the patient is stable but cannot manage alone — an elderly parent after a fall, someone bedridden long-term, or a recovering patient who needs help moving but no injections or dressings. Our GDAs are trained in safe patient handling and verified before deployment, and they cost meaningfully less than clinical care you may not need.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a GDA and what does a GDA do at home?
A GDA is a General Duty Attendant — a trained, background-verified caregiver who provides non-medical support at home. They assist with personal hygiene, feeding, mobility, repositioning, toileting and companionship. They do not administer injections or perform clinical procedures; for that you need a medical attendant (MQA).
What does a GDA cost at home?
A 12-hour GDA shift is Rs 1,199 and a 24-hour shift is Rs 1,499 — noticeably lower than clinical attendant rates, because you are paying for exactly the care you need.
Should I book a GDA or a medical attendant?
If the patient needs injections, IV fluids, wound dressing or clinical monitoring, book a medical attendant (MQA). If they are clinically stable and need help with bathing, feeding, mobility and daily routines, a GDA is the right fit and costs less. If you are unsure, call us and describe the situation.
Are GDAs trained in handling bedridden patients?
Yes. Safe transfer technique, repositioning to prevent pressure sores, and dignified toileting and hygiene support are core parts of the training every GDA completes before deployment.
Can a GDA stay overnight?
Yes — the 24-hour shift covers round-the-clock presence, including overnight. For continuous multi-day cover we rotate attendants so that no one is working unsafely long hours.
