1. THE PEOPLE WHO CARE

2. Joint families are a rare occurrence
these days but they can be a lot of
fun to be a part of one. This is the
story of one such family.

3. Gaurav Kumar, a young professional in his mid-twenties,
is the heart and soul of his family. He is the one who is
always pulling everyone’s legs and cracking jokes at the
dinner table; he is the one who ensures everyone has a
surprise birthday celebration at midnight; he brings
home treats every other day – needless to say, he is
always putting a smile on everyone’s face. His parents,
grand-parents, uncle and aunt all dote on him, and all the
younger kids in the house really look up to Gaurav
bhaiyya.

4. Unfortunately, Gaurav, in spite of his endearing habits,
also had two vices – smoking and drinking. He was a
chain smoker and most of the parties he attended
involved heavy drinking. This lifestyle led to a cardiac
arrest during one night of crazy dancing, and at this
young age, Gaurav found himself in the confines of a
hospital bed. He had to undergo a minor surgery and
doctors recommended a lengthy period of bed rest
and monitoring, while remaining in an Intensive Care
Unit.

5. Gaurav’s family badly missed his presence at
home. Each one of his family members was
significantly saddened. The dinner table had
a sombre atmosphere. The life of the family
was missing, and although they did get to
see Gaurav twice during the day, the daily
hospital visiting hours seemed too short and
painful.

6. Mr. Vinay Kumar, Gaurav’s father, was
wondering if there was any way they could
have Gaurav recuperating at home. He
wondered if a complex set-up, like that of an
ICU, could be done at home. Mr. Kumar
decided to do a quick web search on ‘ICU
services at home’, and this resulted in him
coming across HealthCare atHOME.

7. He found out that he could actually get
the exact requirements, specific to
Gaurav’s condition, set up at home. A
quick call on the helpline and in a
couple of days’ time Gaurav was being
transferred home to complete his
recuperation.

8. This incident changed Gaurav. He improved
his lifestyle furthermore, and was thankful
that at least, due to the availability of home
healthcare services, he was able to get
better happily, surrounded by the people
who cared about him. As for the Kumar’s,
the re-united family couldn’t be happier.

9. There are many like Gaurav and his
family who have benefited from
home healthcare services. To know
