- A quick start when there is no time to wait
- Care at home, and someone with the patient on the ward

Qualifications
Why this work needs a nursing qualification
The carer holds a nursing qualification and knows the basics of rehabilitation. The work is also hard on the person doing it, and we ask candidates about that.
Rehabilitation
Therapeutic exercise, passive movement, and helping the patient relearn what they can do for themselves.
Support for the family
Shows you how to move the patient safely and what to watch for, so problems are caught early.
On the ward
A second pair of eyes in hospital, and someone beside the patient.
Duties
What the work covers
The family and the patient’s doctor agree how far the care goes. That happens before the carer starts.

- A bath, or a bed bath if the patient cannot be moved
- Changing incontinence pads and protecting the skin
- Fresh bed linen and nightclothes
- Medicines given exactly as prescribed
- Blood pressure, pulse, temperature and blood sugar
- Pressure sores prevented, and dressed if they appear
- Cooking to the prescribed diet, and feeding the patient where that is needed
- Therapeutic exercise, passive movement, light massage
- Calming and reassuring the patient when they become anxious

| Nights | For families who manage in the day but need help at night | 8–12 h |

The schedule and the list of duties go into the agreement, in plain English.
Yerevan and the rest of Armenia
Why this matters in Yerevan
Armenian families take on the nursing of a seriously ill relative themselves, and no one would question that. But the work wears a person down, in the body and in the mind. Without training, that work can harm the patient as well as the people doing it. A carer does not replace the family. They take some of the weight off it.

Questions
What people ask most often
Does the carer need a nursing qualification?
For a patient confined to bed, yes. The carer has to prevent pressure sores, move the patient correctly, take readings and carry out the doctor’s procedures. Without that training the care itself can do damage.
How quickly can you find someone?
The usual time is 3–5 days after the agreement is signed. A discharge from hospital, or a sudden deterioration, does not allow for that. Say the case is urgent: some of our candidates can start this week.
What does a nursing carer cost?
This is the most expensive kind of care: it needs a nursing qualification and, more often than not, someone in the house round the clock. Our fee is worked out from the carer’s monthly salary – 50 % of one month, of which the client pays 25 %. We will give you a range once we know the diagnosis and the hours.
Can the carer work in hospital?
Yes. The carer stays with the patient on the ward, keeping watch, alongside the hospital staff. We agree that arrangement separately.
Does the carer help the family as well?
Yes. They show you how to move the patient, what to watch for, and how to stop things getting worse. That is part of the job, not an extra.
