Caring for a bedridden parent at home is relentless. Someone has to turn them every two or three hours, keep the skin dry, manage feeds and medicines, and watch for the first red patch that becomes a bedsore. When that work outgrows the family, assisted living on Paud Road offers nursing care in a bungalow setting, a few minutes from the Kothrud colonies where many of these families already live.
Paud Road runs west from Paud Phata through Kothrud, past Vanaz and Chandani Chowk, towards Bhugaon and Mulshi. The city stretch is old, settled and full of familiar landmarks, which makes it easier for an elderly spouse to visit every day.
Kalpavruksha (Paud Road): what bedside care includes
Kalpavruksha (Paud Road) is the Kothrud-side home of Kalpavruksha Care, whose parent company is Healthcare Concepts. It runs from a bungalow in a residential society opposite the More Vidyalaya bus stop. Its listing names the services that matter most for a dependent resident:
- Management of bedsores and wounds, from prevention through regular turning and skin care to dressing an existing sore.
- Geriatric-trained nurses and in-house doctors, so a fever, a chest infection or a change in alertness is spotted and treated early.
- Medication management, including medicines given through feeding tubes where needed.
- Help with personal hygiene from trained caregivers: sponge baths, oral care, changing and toileting.
- Physiotherapy, which for a bedridden resident means keeping joints moving and preventing stiffness, not only walking practice.
- Post-surgery care, and palliative and hospice care for residents with serious illness.
- An in-house ambulance, furnished rooms, a garden, Wi-Fi and power backup.
Kalpavruksha also accepts critically ill younger adults who need long-term medical care, and it offers day care and short stays.
What to check before admitting a bedridden parent
- Turning and skin checks. Ask how often residents are repositioned at night and who records it.
- Mattresses. Air or ripple mattresses reduce pressure sores; ask whether they are provided or charged separately.
- Feeding. If your parent has a Ryle's tube or a PEG tube, ask which staff handle feeds and how the tube is cleaned.
- Catheter care. Ask how often catheters are changed and who does it.
- Night staff. Find out how many nurses and caregivers are on duty after 10 PM for the number of bedridden residents.
- Doctor reviews. Ask how often the doctor sees each resident and how the family is kept informed.

Hospitals and getting to Paud Road
Sahyadri Hospital in Kothrud and Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital in Erandwane are a short drive away, and Chellaram Hospital is just beyond Chandani Chowk in Bavdhan. For a bedridden resident, ask whether minor problems such as a blocked catheter or a dehydrated patient can be handled in the home, so that hospital trips are kept for real emergencies.
Vanaz station, the western end of the Aqua line of Pune Metro, is on Paud Road, so relatives coming from Deccan, the station or Ramwadi can visit without driving. PMPML buses also run along the road from Kothrud depot.
Cost of bedside and assisted living care on Paud Road
Paud Road follows the west Pune band. As a rough guide, assisted living near Paud Road costs about ₹35,000 to ₹60,000 a month. Full bedside care for a bedridden resident, palliative care or post-stroke nursing usually costs about ₹40,000 to ₹80,000 a month, and a one-to-one attendant adds to that.
