Why trust CareForAmma?
Because we built the resource we wished we had.
Created by a practising NRI doctor navigating elderly parent care from abroad himself — a free project made to help, not to profit. It's general information, not a substitute for professional advice.
Where it matters, we link to official Indian government sources — NHA, RBI, India Post and others — so you can check the latest details directly at the source.
We keep ads minimal and never on emergency pages. We have no commercial relationships with any service we recommend.
This was built by an NRI doctor with ageing parents in India. This is personal, not commercial.

Yes, we have guides for the worst moments — hospitalisation, strokes, falls, loss. But most of what we do is for the everyday reality of being an NRI with ageing parents.
Helping your mother get Ayushman Bharat cover. Setting up your father's phone so he can video call you. Preparing your parents for their flight to visit you — visas, insurance, immigration, airport assistance. Making sure someone has Power of Attorney before it's needed.
CareForAmma is for the whole journey — not just the emergencies.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. CareForAmma is an independent platform built by an NRI doctor. We are not affiliated with any government body. We explain government information in simple terms and always link back to the official sources.
Where it matters, we link to official government portals (such as the NHA and RBI) so you can check the latest details yourself, and we show a last-updated date on key pages. This is general information and may contain errors — always confirm important details at the official source.
We regularly review and update our content. We aim to keep our information current with major changes to important schemes like Jeevan Pramaan or SCSS.
CareForAmma does not collect personal data. Tools like the Emergency Card and Parent Profile work entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to our servers. We use no login system and require no registration.
Yes. The Senior Portal is a simple, large-text page written for elderly parents themselves — with the key emergency numbers, plain-language scam-safety advice, the free 70+ health cover, and links to the official government hospital and Jan Aushadhi store finders. It's currently in English; regional-language versions are something we'd like to add over time.
