Senior care in Delhi NCR ranges from ₹30,000–80,000/month for assisted living to ₹80,000–1,60,000/month for memory care, based on 21 verified facilities listed on ElderNest. These are actual prices from facilities that have been independently verified — not estimates.
What affects the monthly cost of senior care in Delhi NCR?
Monthly fees for senior care in Delhi NCR vary based on four main factors: the level of nursing and medical support required, the size and type of accommodation (private room vs. shared), the facility's accreditation status (NABH-certified facilities typically cost 20–30% more), and whether the facility has specialist dementia or Parkinson's care programmes.
Most facilities in Delhi NCR charge separately for: the basic accommodation and meals package, care staff and nursing supervision, medical consultations and medication management, physiotherapy and rehabilitation sessions, and incontinence supplies for residents who need them. Always ask for an itemised quote — the headline monthly rate often excludes several of these.
Assisted living vs. nursing home costs in Delhi NCR
Assisted living in Delhi NCR (₹30,000–80,000/month/month) is appropriate for seniors who need help with daily activities but do not require 24-hour medical supervision. Nursing homes (₹65,000–1,30,000/month/month) provide round-the-clock nursing care and are suited to seniors with complex medical needs, post-discharge recovery, or moderate-to-severe dementia.
Memory care units within assisted living facilities typically add ₹15,000–30,000/month to the base rate, reflecting the specialist training and higher staff-to-resident ratios required.
What is included in the monthly fee?
Most Delhi NCR facilities include accommodation, three meals per day, housekeeping, laundry, and basic recreational activities in the headline monthly rate. Medical care — including doctor visits, physiotherapy, and nursing supervision — is typically charged separately. Ask each facility for a full fee schedule before committing.
