Home care prices in Mauritius
Ask what home care costs here and you will usually be told it depends. That is a hard way to plan for someone you love. So we publish our rates in full, along with everything that can change them.
Who will care for your loved one
Not everyone needs the same help, and not every carer is trained to give it. The grade of carer your family needs is what sets the price.

Care plan sign-off
Our Care Operations Director, decides which grade your family needs at the first assessment and writes it into the care plan. It is a clinical decision, not a sales one.
Our rates
Visiting care by the hour
For a few hours of help rather than a full day. Our minimum visit is two hours, so a carer has time to do things properly rather than rush out of the door.

Our minimum visit is two hours, so a carer has time to do things properly rather than rush out of the door.
Day and night care
A waking night means your carer stays awake and watchful until morning. A sleeping night means they rest nearby and wake when needed. Bedridden care is given by a health care assistant rather than a carer, which is why it costs more.
| Service | Hours | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Half-Day ShiftA morning or an afternoon, whichever is hardest to manageTrained Carer | 6 hours | Rs 1,700per shift |
| Day-Shift AssistanceAn attentive carer at home through the whole dayTrained Carer | 8am – 8pm | Rs 3,000 – 3,500per shift |
| Sleeping NightYour carer rests nearby and wakes if they are neededTrained Carer | 8pm – 6am | Rs 1,700per night |
| Waking NightAwake and watchful until morning, so the family can sleepTrained Carer | 8pm – 6am | Rs 3,000 – 3,600per night |
| Bedridden Care, DaySkilled day cover for those who need constant attentionHealth Care Assistant | 12 hours | Rs 3,700 – 4,500per shift |

| Bedridden Care, 24 HourTwo carers a day, with a full handover between themHealth Care Assistant | 24 hours | Rs 8,200 – 10,500per day |
Sundays and public holidays carry a premium.
Live-in care
A carer who lives in the home, so someone is always there. Relief cover is included for your carer's days off, and you will meet both carers before care begins. For care of a month or longer, our Live-In package works out lower than the daily rate.
| Service | Unit | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Live-In CareOngoing care of a month or longer, with relief cover includedTrained Carer | Per day | Rs 2,600per day |
| Live-In Care, Short TermLess than a month, for recovery or while family are awayTrained Carer | Per day | Rs 3,200per day |

| Respite CareFull cover for a week or two while the family restsTrained Carer | Per week | Rs 19,000per week |
The family provides a private room and meals for the live-in carer.

Liability and indemnity insurance
A replacement carer when yours is unwell
A written care plan, kept up to date
Someone to call when something goes wrong
What your fee covers
Our rates are ranges. Five things decide where your family sits in one.
How much care is needed
Where you live
How much notice you can give
Sundays and public holidays
Whether two carers are needed to move someone safely
You will always get a written quote before care starts, with the figure and how we reached it. We will never ask you to agree to a range.
Good to know
-
Two hours. It gives a carer time to do things properly, and it means your loved one gets a visit rather than a rush.
-
More than 24 hours' notice, no charge. Under 24 hours we charge half, and under 4 hours we charge in full, because the carer has usually already travelled and is paid either way.
-
Northern Mauritius as standard, with no travel charge. We do travel further for a small charge. If you are outside the north, ask us and we will give you a straight answer.
-
Wherever we can, yes. Familiarity matters more than almost anything else in home care. When your carer is unwell or on leave, we send someone who already knows the care plan.
-
Yes, and most families do. We update the care plan, the schedule and the invoice together, so the three never drift apart.
-
Yes. We work with registered nurses and doctors who visit at home, and we brief them on the care plan beforehand. Message us and we will arrange it.
-
Monthly in advance for packages, and on invoice for visits and shifts. Bank transfer or juice.
Not sure what your family needs?
Most people are not, and that is completely normal. Tell us what is happening at home and we will talk it through. No charge, no obligation, and no pressure to decide anything.
