How It Works

Simple to set up from anywhere

You don't need to be in Kolkata to arrange care. Everything starts on WhatsApp — we discuss your parent's situation, recommend a care plan, and handle the rest on the ground.

1

WhatsApp us

Message Dr. Bordoloi directly from wherever you are. Describe your parent's situation, health conditions, and what concerns you most. No referral needed.

2

We recommend a plan

Based on your parent's needs, we suggest an appropriate GeraVita plan — single visit, monthly monitoring, or the full NRI Family Plan with regular liaison calls.

3

First home visit

Dr. Bordoloi visits your parent at home. A 45-minute Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment is conducted. You receive a written summary the same day.

4

You stay in the loop

Monthly liaison calls keep you informed. Written reports after every visit. WhatsApp access between visits for questions that can't wait.

NRI Family Plan — What's Included

Care designed around your absence

Every feature of the NRI Family Plan is built around the reality that you are far away but need to stay fully informed and in control.

Monthly Liaison Calls

A scheduled call every month where Dr. Bordoloi speaks directly with you — summarising your parent's health, recent changes, and what to watch for next.

Written Reports, Same Day

After every home visit, you receive a written clinical summary — what was assessed, what was found, what changed, and what actions were taken or recommended.

45-Minute Doctor Visits

Every visit is a full Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment — not a 10-minute check-in. Dr. Bordoloi is an MD Geriatrician, not a care manager or health worker.

WhatsApp Between Visits

Direct WhatsApp access to Dr. Bordoloi for questions between scheduled visits — not a call centre, not a junior staff member.

Medication Review Included

If your parent is on 5 or more medicines, a polypharmacy review is included at every visit. Dangerous combinations and unnecessary medications are flagged.

Empanelled Lab at Home

Blood tests and investigations can be arranged at home through our empanelled laboratory, at patient rates. No need for your parent to travel.

I am a geriatrician — a doctor who specialises specifically in the health of older adults. I consult at Manipal Hospital Broadway, Kolkata, and through GeraVita, I visit patients in their homes in Newtown, Rajarhat, and Salt Lake.

I designed the NRI Family Care Plan because I meet families in this situation every week: children who care deeply about their parents but cannot be there. The written reports and monthly calls are not an afterthought — they are the centrepiece of the plan, because your ability to stay informed and make decisions from abroad depends on clear, reliable communication from the ground.

Common Questions

What families from abroad ask most

WhatsApp works asynchronously — you can message at any time and we will respond within 24 hours. For the initial consultation and monthly calls, we accommodate different time zones. Families in the UK, US, Canada, UAE, Australia, and Singapore have all arranged care this way.

No — in fact, it is often the main reason NRI families reach out. We are experienced at conducting assessments with elderly patients who live independently, and at communicating our findings clearly to the family. We can also advise on whether the living situation is safe and sustainable, and what changes — if any — would reduce risk.

That is exactly the patient profile geriatric medicine is designed for. A patient with three conditions seeing three specialists may have no one looking at the whole picture — which is where medication interactions, conflicting advice, and gaps in care occur. A geriatrician's role is to integrate all of this and provide a coherent plan.

We currently cover Newtown (Action Area I, II, III), Rajarhat, and Salt Lake (Bidhannagar). If you are unsure whether your parent's address falls within our coverage area, send us the locality on WhatsApp and we will confirm.

Fees depend on the plan chosen. The simplest option is a single home visit with no ongoing commitment. For families who want regular oversight and monthly calls, we offer ongoing plans. Please enquire via WhatsApp with your parent's location and a brief description of their situation — we will recommend the most appropriate plan and share the fees transparently before you commit to anything.
