Care and Cure

What Care and Cure does

Care and Cure Home Health Care Service is a privately held, founder-owned home healthcare provider founded in 2013 and headquartered in Kaimanam, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. It was the first dedicated home health care provider in Thiruvananthapuram district and operates from two offices (Trivandrum headquarters and Thiruvalla), employing 30+ full-time professionals plus 10 part-time workers as of 2017, with no subsequent funding rounds or external institutional investors disclosed.

The company delivers a comprehensive, vertically integrated portfolio of in-home medical services: primary care doctor visits, professional registered nursing (including 24-hour care), dental checkups, home-collected medical tests analyzed in its own computerized clinical laboratories (two stand-alone labs plus one hospital-based lab), physiotherapy and rehabilitation, wound dressings, post-hospitalization care, pain management and palliative care, elderly care, and chronic illness management (diabetes, stroke, cardiac, respiratory, cancer). It also sells and rents medical equipment such as wheelchairs, oxygen concentrators, air beds, multipara monitors, nebulizers, and suction machines. Its core technology is a mobile, field-deployed clinical workforce backed by portable diagnostics and in-house lab infrastructure rather than a software platform.

Care and Cure makes money through unit-priced professional services with a documented Rs. 1,200 minimum per doctor visit (covering consultation, basic nursing, and basic tests within a 6 km radius), variable pricing by case complexity and distance, 24-hour nursing retainers, equipment rental and sales, and specialist referral fees. Go-to-market is sales-led and primarily direct-to-consumer: phone booking, website service forms, blog/content marketing, and radio advertising (Big FM 92.7). Customer segments center on homebound patients, post-hospitalization patients, senior citizens, and chronic illness patients in Trivandrum city, with 24-hour nursing available more broadly across South India. Two notable partnerships — Star Health Insurance (recognized pre-medical support organization) and PRS Hospital (BLS training initiative) — provide modest referral and credibility lift but are not material revenue anchors.
