How affordable personal care works in Colombo
Affordable care without cutting a single corner.
Many Colombo families assume affordable personal care at home must mean lower standards. It does not. The cost simply comes down to matching the right number of hours to the real need — and pricing it transparently.
BetterHands keeps personal care affordable through a flexible per-visit model, not by cutting corners. Every caregiver is still background-checked, still matched to your parent, and still backed by the 72-hour guarantee. You pay a fair, published rate — and only for the hours your loved one needs.
- Bathing, grooming, and dressing with dignity
- Toileting and continence care
- Meal preparation and feeding support
- Mobility, transfers, and fall prevention
- Medication reminders and routine prompts
- Light housekeeping and a tidy living space
Pay by Visit, Shift, or Day
Affordable personal care in Colombo means paying only for the hours your parent needs. A short morning visit, a half-day shift, or full-day care — no fixed monthly retainer forcing you to overpay.
Start Small, Scale as Needed
Many Colombo families begin with a daily two-hour visit and add hours only as needs grow. A free assessment finds the minimum support that keeps your parent safe — keeping costs genuinely affordable.
Same Vetted Caregivers
Affordable never means uncertified. Every caregiver is background-checked and matched to your parent — the same standard as premium care, at a fair, transparent price.
No Hidden Fees, Ever
One transparent annual membership fee, no travel supplements for any Colombo district, and no charge for the assessment. The published rate is the rate you pay — affordability you can plan around.
Transparent, affordable personal care pricing
Pay only for the hours your parent actually needs.
Choose a short visit, a half-day shift, or full-day care — published rates, no hidden fees, and the freedom to scale up only as needs grow.
Prices are indicative and published transparently. A free care assessment is provided before any commitment.
