Who We Serve

Understanding our customer and why this work matters is the foundation of every interaction.

Our Paying Customer

Sons and daughters living away from their parents — whether in another Indian city or abroad. They have chosen ProxiKin™ because they cannot be present, and because that absence weighs on them. We exist to resolve that weight professionally.

What They Need From Us
For the Family at a Distance
  • Financial peace of mind
  • Mental peace of mind
  • Physical safety reassurance
  • Confidence that they can focus on their career without guilt
For the Elder at Home
  • A safe home environment
  • Peace of mind and companionship
  • Ease in daily life
  • Home maintenance oversight
  • Daily health monitoring
  • Prevention of emergencies

Section 2

What a ProxiKin™ Coordinator Does

These are your professional obligations. They define what it means to be a ProxiKin™.

Professionalism
  • Dress professionally at every visit. The minimum standard is a jacket. You represent a premium service and you will be judged the moment you walk in.
  • Maintain professional distance at all times. You are not a family member, a friend, or a confidant — you are a trusted professional. The distinction matters.
  • Police verification is mandatory before your first family assignment. There are no exceptions.
Scope & Agreement
  • You will only do the work specified in the signed service agreement. If a family asks for something outside scope, the correct response is: "I will need to check if that can be added to the agreement."
  • A signed agreement must be in place before services begin. Verbal commitments are not sufficient.
  • Advance payment is required before the first visit.
Accountability — Time, Money, Relationships

Your accountability as a ProxiKin™ operates across three dimensions:

T
Time
Arrive on time, complete visits in the agreed window, submit documentation within 24 hours.
M
Money
All financial transactions run through the ProxiKin™ platform. Never accept, handle, or manage personal funds.
R
Relationships
Keep all relationships strictly professional. No personal relationships with elders or family members.
Emergency Contacts Protocol

Every family file must include 2–3 emergency contacts, in priority order:

  • First priority: Adult children (the paying customer)
  • Second priority: Local person — a trusted relative, friend, or neighbour who can be physically present quickly

Keep the contact list current. Confirm details at every monthly visit.

Insurance & Financial Preparedness
  • Obtain and file the elder's health insurance card at the time of enrolment — RGHS, CGHS, or private mediclaim.
  • Confirm one primary contact who is authorised to make decisions on the elder's behalf.
  • Ensure the family has allocated emergency funds for ambulance and incidental medical costs.

Section 3

What a ProxiKin™ Coordinator Does Not Do

These are hard limits. They protect the elder, protect the family, and protect you.

Scope Limits
  • We do not do any work that is not in the signed agreement. Not even once.
  • We are care coordinators — not caretakers. We do not provide personal care, bathing assistance, or physical nursing.
  • We do not travel outside the city for any reason on behalf of a family.
  • We do not arrange or provide domestic staff — no cooks, cleaners, drivers, or other household help.
  • We do not provide our personal vehicle for any family-related task.
Medical & Legal Limits
  • We do not provide medical advice, suggest medications, or recommend doctors or labs. If asked, the answer is: "Please speak with your doctor."
  • We do not discuss or comment on financial matters, property, or legal affairs — regardless of what the family shares or asks.
  • We do not make any suggestions about money, inheritance, or financial planning.
Personal Boundaries
  • We do not share our personal phone number with elders or family members. All contact runs through the ProxiKin™ platform.
  • We do not accept food, tips, gifts, or hospitality of any kind — not even a cup of chai.
  • We do not stay overnight at an elder's home under any circumstances.
  • We are not available outside designated visit hours, except in a genuine emergency as defined by the ProxiKin™ protocol.

Section 4

The First Visit — Assessment Requirements

The first visit establishes the baseline for everything that follows. It must be thorough.

Home & Physical Environment
  • Complete the 51-point Home Safety Assessment (HSA) across all 6 zones
  • Note the type of home and who else lives in the household
  • Assess accessibility: stairs, bathroom, kitchen, entry/exit routes
Health & Care Level
  • Assess level of care needed: Independent, Needs Support, Dependent, or High Care
  • Complete Activities of Daily Living (ADL) assessment
  • Schedule periodic health assessments going forward
  • Conduct initial assessment of cognitive and mental status
Medical & Administrative
  • Record complete medication list: name, dose, frequency, prescribing doctor
  • Obtain and file health insurance details: RGHS, CGHS, or private mediclaim policy
  • Collect contact details for the treating primary physician and any specialists
  • Obtain copies or photographs of recent doctor appointment reports

Section 5

Frequently Asked Questions — Coordinator Reference

Use these to answer common questions from families at the time of enrolment.

What happens if my family member is hospitalised?
Your ProxiKin™ coordinator will visit your family member in hospital each day at Rs. 1,000 per visit, as long as the hospital is within our local service area. Full Coverage families already have emergency hospitalisation accompaniment included in their package. The Rs. 1,000 daily hospital visit rate applies to Core families or any visit beyond the initial emergency accompaniment event.
Can we get a discount if both my parents live together and I need ProxiKin™ for both of them?
Yes. When a ProxiKin™ coordinator is visiting two members of the same household, a household discount applies: 50% off the higher of the two package rates. Each parent's package is assessed individually based on their frailty level — you pay the lower rate in full, and only half the higher rate. Example: one parent on Core (Rs. 15,000) and one on Full Coverage (Rs. 30,000) — household total is Rs. 15,000 + Rs. 15,000 = Rs. 30,000 per month. The discount is applied automatically when both members are enrolled at the same address.
