Maya CARE Services Private Limited is a self-sustainable venture that works on a non-profit basis. Maya CARE does not depend on donations for existence. Financial inputs from individual and corporate subscriptions go towards payment of service associates, co-coordinators, maintenance of help lines, website and other operational expenses.

Maya CARE offers services to senior citizens like accompanying them on doctor visits, reading to them, seeing them off at the railway station/airport, buying medicines, collecting medical reports, shopping, conducting financial transactions, attending a social engagement among others. 

As an extension of these core services, Maya CARE offers similar services to the family members of professionals who may be away on assignments, busy with professional commitments or frequent travel. Therefore these services can be availed by children, senior citizens or any other family members.

Maya CARE services are currently available in Pune, Mumbai, New Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai and Ahmedabad.

Being the first of its kind in India, Maya CARE is sometimes mistaken for being a concierge service/household help/nurses bureau/charity NGO. None of us can ever replace a family member. But as professionals struggle to meet the demands of an active work life and the wish to be available to care for their family, each of us at Maya CARE have pledged to make up for their absence with integrity, responsibility and patience.
