Parent care for employees whose parents live far away

A caregiving benefit for employees with parents in India or another country: a daily check-in in the parent's language, a call when they go quiet, alerts to the employee and family, and help with reports and refills.

The problem

A large share of your people look after a parent who lives in another city or another country. The worry does not stay at home: it arrives as a missed call at 3 AM, a sudden trip, a morning spent on the phone to a hospital. Research on transnational caregivers describes the same pattern everywhere: time-zone juggling, guilt, emergency travel and lost focus at work.

What your employees get

The full Athnova Care family plan: up to 2 parents and 4 family members.
A daily check-in for each parent in their own language (ten Indian languages and English), on WhatsApp or by phone call for parents without a smartphone.
A reminder and phone calls when a parent goes quiet, then alerts to the whole family and to local contacts.
Reports and readings read and trended, refills planned with the parent’s own chemist (India), a monthly summary for the doctor, and an emergency card.
SOS: a parent can send one word at any time and the family is alerted at once.

What HR gets

A simple roll-out: each employee receives a personal link and sets up their family in about five minutes.
One monthly invoice for the employees who have switched it on, in US dollars.
Numbers only: how many employees and parents are using it. Never anyone’s health information: that stays with the family.

Each parent agrees personally before anything starts, on WhatsApp or by pressing 1 on our call, and can stop at any time. Health information is stored in India, encrypted where it is sensitive, and shared only within the family. The employer is never told which employee has an alert, a reading or a diagnosis.

Questions families ask

Where can employees and their parents be?

Employees can be anywhere. Parents can live in India or in any country where they use WhatsApp; the daily phone call reaches 25 countries today.

Does it replace our EAP or insurance?

No. It is the daily layer those do not provide: someone asks every day, and the family hears when a parent goes quiet. It works alongside counselling, insurance and leave.

Is this medical care?

No. We track, remind and coordinate; doctors diagnose and prescribe. In an emergency the parent should call the local emergency number.

Athnova Care tracks and coordinates care. It does not diagnose, prescribe or replace a doctor. In a medical emergency in India call 112.
