The Sakhi4Life Way
Building relationships on understanding and trust
At Sakhi4Life, we take the time and effort to first understand your needs. We then match you with the most suited care but making sure that you – the elder who needs care, the caregiver and our founders are always part of the process.
Discovering your needs
During the first contact – by phone, mail or in person, we understand your specific situation. We then map your needs according to your specific situation, ie. Elders living alone, with children, health conditions, mental health of the person needing support, and other specific expectations.
Finding your match
We carefully shortlist a Sakhi Counsellor who is a right match with the senior person with regards to age, language and cultural background. Sakhi Executives are assigned if the elder needs help with errands and at-home services unrelated to health care. Sakhi Companions are provided if the elder requires a friendly listening ear and friendship. We also cater to special requests based on specific situations.
Keeping you updated
The Sakhi Counsellor also sets up a WhatsApp group comprising of themselves, you, and one of Sakhi4Life’s founders to ensure seamless communication. If needed, we can also facilitate video calls between you and the elder concerned. We update you on the phone or mail about the results of each visit.
Testimonials
What our clients say
My mum has had multiple mini strokes and is in palliative care – but Sakhi manages to make life as normal as possible for her. She loves to go out and meet new people; it was lovely how Sakhi arranged for her to meet other members despite her physical condition. Sangita Tatia I have used the services of Sakhi4Life for a few months before lockdown started for my mother who lives on the other side of Chennai in her own apartment with nurses and staff. My sister and myself share Mum’s care but with distances and a busy lifestyle and responsibilities towards our own families, we were unable to spend as much time with her as we would have liked. Enter Sakhi4Life.

Sangita TatiaChennai, India
I felt from the first meeting with the company that mum would be in very good hands. I liked the friendliness of the staff and a genuine desire to give company to my mum, to joke and make her laugh and contribute to conversation.
My mum loves to go out and meet new people; it was lovely how Sakhi4Life arranged for her to meet other members despite her physical condition – mum has had multiple mini strokes and is in palliative care – but Sakhi4Life managed all this to make her life as normal as possible for her. I would like to tell anyone who is looking out for care for their loved ones to definitely meet with Sakhi4Life care counsellors – they are wonderful!
