How affordable home nursing works in Colombo
Affordable care without cutting a single corner.
Many Colombo families assume affordable home nursing must mean lower standards. It does not. The cost of home nursing care comes down to one thing — matching the right clinical level to the real need, and pricing it transparently.
BetterHands keeps nursing affordable through a streamlined per-visit model, not by cutting clinical corners. Every nurse is still PHSRC-registered, still background-checked, and still backed by the same 72-hour guarantee. You simply pay a fair, published rate — and only for what your loved one needs.
- PHSRC-registered nurses on every clinical visit
- 48-hour background checks on every nurse placed
- A dedicated Colombo-based care coordinator
- Written clinical documentation for your physician
- A written 72-hour placement guarantee
- No travel supplements for any Colombo district
Pay Per Visit, Not Per Month
Affordable home nursing in Colombo means paying only for the visits your loved one actually needs. There is no fixed monthly retainer, so a patient needing two weekly visits never pays for daily care.
Right Clinical Level, Right Price
A free assessment matches the exact clinical level required — basic monitoring, wound care, or advanced nursing. You never pay advanced-nursing rates when simple monitoring is enough.
Insurance-Eligible Documentation
Many home nursing costs in Colombo are covered under domiciliary insurance clauses. Our nurses document every visit so you can claim reimbursement and reduce your out-of-pocket cost further.
No Hidden Fees, Ever
One transparent annual membership fee, no travel supplements per Colombo district, and no charge for the assessment. The published rate is the rate you pay — affordability you can plan around.
Transparent, affordable home nursing pricing
Published rates for every level of nursing care.
You see the price before you commit. Pay per visit, at the clinical level your loved one actually needs — nothing more.
Prices are indicative and published transparently. A free nursing assessment is provided before any commitment. Many costs are insurance-eligible.
