Elder companion service  ·  India + global diaspora

Who's with them
when you can't be?

Your parent deserves a real person at their door — someone who stays, listens, pays the bills, and calls you when something feels off. Not a nurse. A companion.

Indians over 60. Most of their adult children no longer live in the same city.

What loneliness costs

Lonely elders are twice as likely to be hospitalised within 12 months, per AIIMS research.

What we do about it
1

One consistent person at their door. Same face. Every visit. That's the whole model.

What your parent gets

Not a service.
Someone in
their corner.

Home nurses treat the body. Full-time help handles chores. HealBuddy does something neither does — they stay, they listen, and they genuinely care what happens next.

Our companions are trained, vetted, and matched to your parent's personality, language, and routine. They remember that your father takes his medicine before dinner, not after. That your mother prefers Gujarati to Hindi. That Tuesday is the good TV show.

01 — Presence

Someone who actually shows up

Same companion, every visit. Consistency is the point. Trust doesn't build from rotating strangers.

02 — Daily life

Bills, appointments, reminders — handled

Set up once. They never have to figure out UPI or a new app. We do it for them, on their behalf.

03 — Your loop

You know how they're doing

Daily updates to you. Not alarmist — just a note. So you stop worrying between calls.

04 — Independence

They stay in charge of their life

We're not a caretaker. We're a companion. Your parent still makes every decision — they just don't have to make them alone.

How it works

Running in 48 hours.
No paperwork.

Step 01

What families say
★★★★★

"My father refused all help for two years. Within two weeks of his first buddy visit, he was calling Rekha on his own. Something shifted."

"The daily updates mean I don't have to call three times a day out of guilt anymore. I know he's fine. That's worth everything."

Questions

What you're probably wondering.

Tell us about your parent today — we match a companion within 24 hours and the first visit happens within 48. No intake interviews, no long onboarding calls. You fill out a short profile, approve the match, and we handle the rest.

Plans start at ₹4,999/month for regular check-ins. Full companionship with task management — bills, appointments, reminders — from ₹9,999/month. No registration fees, no lock-in, no cancellation penalties. Pause or cancel anytime, no questions asked.

Especially right for them. Most of our elders live fully independently — they're not patients. They just don't want to feel alone. HealBuddy isn't about dependency, it's about having someone in their corner. The companion helps when asked, and steps back when not needed.

Every companion is background-verified, reference-checked, and trained in 60+ care protocols before their first placement. You see their full profile — photo, experience, language, reviews — before they ever meet your parent. Your parent can also request a different companion at any time, no reasons required.
