Elderly Care Services in
Kadawatha.
Elderly care services in Kadawatha, from the people down the road. Our only office is on Ragama Road, so a coordinator can be at your parent's house the same day. BetterHands places daytime caregivers across Kadawatha, Kiribathgoda and Mahara — from LKR 4,500/day.
Elderly care in Kadawatha, from the office down the road.
Every BetterHands placement in the country is run from one office, and it is in Kadawatha. For most families that is a detail. For a family here, it changes how care starts.
The coordinator who assesses your parent is a short drive away, not a day's travel. Therefore the first visit can often happen the day you call, and a problem later on can be looked at in person rather than over the phone.
Many households here commute into Colombo on the Kandy Road and are gone for most of the day. As a result, a parent who is fine in the evening may be alone, unfed and unchecked for ten hours. That is the gap daytime care is built for.
Because our caregivers for this area mostly live nearby, they arrive on time and know the roads, the shops and the clinics. For example, a caregiver from Mahara knows the quickest way to Ragama on a weekday morning.
What a caregiver covers
The hours a Kadawatha family is on the road.
Elderly care here is the practical day — meals, medicines, moving about safely and getting to appointments — with company alongside it.
Mornings
Breakfast, medicines on time, and a wash and dress at their pace — the hours a family leaving early for work cannot cover.
Medicines
Tablets prompted and logged, with a note of anything missed. Changes after a clinic visit are written down so nothing is lost.
Moving safely
A steady arm on the steps and in the bathroom, and a short walk when the day allows. Falls are most likely when nobody is watching.
Appointments
Travelling to clinics in Ragama or Gampaha, waiting, and bringing home what the doctor said in writing.
- Meals cooked to the prescribed diet, and eaten
- Tablets prompted and logged every day
- A steady arm on steps and in the bathroom
- Company through the long middle of the day
- Travel to clinics in Ragama and Gampaha
- A written note home every evening
Considering an elders' home in Kadawatha?
Before you choose a home, price the care at home.
We do not run an elders' home, and for some families a residential home is the right answer. However, many families start looking for one before they know that a trained caregiver can come to the house instead.
“Nursing home Kadawatha” is one of the searches that brings families to this page. If that is why you are here: a caregiver at home costs far less than you may expect for a parent who needs help through the day, and your parent stays in the house they know.
An elders' home charges one fee whatever your parent needs. Care at home is paid for by the level of help, so a parent who needs a few hours costs far less than one who needs someone day and night.
Care at home in Kadawatha, by level of need
| A few hours of help each dayCaregiver, six-hour shift | LKR 4,000/shift |
| Someone there through the dayCaregiver | LKR 4,500/day |

| Nursing after a hospital stayProfessional Nurse | LKR 9,000/day |
| Someone living in, day and nightLive-in caregiver | LKR 4,500/day |
Plus a one-time annual registration fee of LKR 20,000. No travel supplement, and the same rate by day or night.
Straight answers
Elderly care in Kadawatha, in brief.
How fast can care start in Kadawatha?
Often within a day. The assessment is usually the quickest anywhere we work, because the coordinator is a short drive away. The written 72-hour placement guarantee applies from your first call.
Can we meet you before deciding?
Yes. Families in Kadawatha can arrange to meet at the office on Ragama Road, or ask the coordinator to come to the house. Many prefer to meet before letting a caregiver into their parent’s home, and that is entirely reasonable.
Is this for a parent who is unwell?
Not only. Most of our Kadawatha families have a parent who is managing but should not be alone all day — someone who forgets tablets, eats poorly when nobody is home, or has had a small fall they did not mention.
What we provide

Elderly caregivers across Kadawatha and around it.

How it works
From first call to a caregiver at the door.
Call or message
By phone or WhatsApp, or arrange to meet at the office on Ragama Road. Nothing is decided on the first conversation.
A visit to the house
A coordinator sees the house, meets your parent and agrees what the day should look like — usually within a day.
A caregiver who lives nearby
Matched for temperament as much as skill, and verified before you are introduced. You can say no without a reason.
A note home every day
What was eaten, what was taken, how your parent seemed. Small changes are noticed early.

FAQs
Elderly care services in Kadawatha — questions families ask.
Yes. BetterHands is based at No 90/8, Ragama Rd, Kadawatha, Sri Lanka. It is our only office, so every placement across the country is run from here. For a family in Kadawatha, it means a coordinator can usually visit the house the same day, and you can arrange to talk it over face to face.
A daytime caregiver is LKR 4,500 per day, and a nursing assistant — where blood pressure, sugar or medicines need daily checking — is LKR 6,000 per day. A one-time annual registration fee of LKR 20,000 applies. Live-in care is the same daily rate, and nowhere around Kadawatha carries a travel supplement.
No. We do not run a residential home. Many families who search for a nursing home in Kadawatha are really looking for someone to look after a parent safely, and that can usually be done at home, in the house they know. If a residential home is genuinely the better choice, our coordinator will say so.
Yes. Getting ready, travelling with her, waiting, and writing down what the doctor said are ordinary parts of the job. That includes follow-ups at Colombo North Teaching Hospital in Ragama, which most Kadawatha families use for serious admissions.
All of Kadawatha and the towns around it — Kiribathgoda, Mahara, Ganemulla, Ragama, Batuwatta, Imbulgoda and Biyagama among them. Because our caregivers for this area mostly live nearby, punctuality is rarely the problem it can be further out.
Yes. A physiotherapist can visit the house for strength and balance work, which is often the most useful thing for a parent who has started to fall or has slowed down after an illness. It can be arranged alongside daily care, under one coordinator.
