How the Train-Your-Ayah Program by AgeWell Supports Everyday Caregiving
The Train-Your-Ayah Program by AgeWell Care is built around how Indian homes truly function. We understand that many ayahs come with limited formal training but years of hands-on experience. This program doesn’t replace that; it refines it. We equip your Ayah with the skills needed to care for elders respectfully, safely, and confidently, without overwhelming her with medical jargon or unrealistic routines.
From personal care and hygiene assistance training to safe lifting, mobility support, and basic emergency response, every module is simplified for practical use. Training is delivered in a clear, supportive format with local-language guidance so your Ayah can understand and apply what she learns right away.
Whether you live with your elders or support them from abroad, this program strengthens the caregiving support system already in your home, making everyday care more dignified, more informed, and more reassuring for everyone involved.
