Just discharged from hospital
The first week home is when families feel least sure. The nurse organises medication, manages the wound, watches for complications and teaches the family to continue safely.
In short
KIN HomeCare sends registered nurses to your home or to the hospital bedside in two formats: continuous 12-hour shifts from THB 3,500 per day (THB 22,500 weekly, THB 90,000 monthly), or single procedure visits from THB 1,200 — wound care from THB 1,200, NG tube change THB 1,600, urinary catheter change THB 2,200. Book on 061-881-9399.
When you need a registered nurse, not a caregiver
Feeding tube or urinary catheter
Nasogastric tubes and urinary catheters need scheduled changes, typically every two to four weeks, and tube position must be verified before every feed.
Tracheostomy and suctioning
This group needs trained hands only — incorrect suctioning injures the airway lining and invites infection. The nurse manages the tube and trains the family to do it safely, and day-to-day suctioning and tracheostomy care can be covered by a caregiver trained for it.
Pressure sores or chronic wounds
Pressure sores must be staged before choosing a dressing method; the wrong technique makes them deteriorate faster than no dressing at all.
Overnight bedside cover
At home or in a hospital room, for families with jobs and no one to rotate with. Night is when deterioration most often goes unnoticed.
Multiple conditions and medications
Older adults on many medicines risk interactions and mistimed doses. The nurse organises the regimen, tracks side effects and reports back to the treating doctor.
Registered nurse vs caregiver vs helper
The real difference is scope of work, not price. A common mistake is hiring a monthly caregiver and expecting them to change a feeding tube, which needs a registered nurse. Suctioning, tracheostomy care, insulin injections and wound care need a caregiver trained for those tasks, so tell the team when booking.
| Criterion | Registered nurse (RN) | Caregiver (NA) |
|---|---|---|
| Sterile procedures | Yes — catheter, NG tube, wound care, suctioning | No tube changes · suctioning and wound care if trained |
| Medication and injections | Yes, under doctor's orders | Can organise doses on time · insulin injections if trained, no other injections |
| Clinical assessment | Assesses vitals and complications, decides when to escalate | Observes and reports abnormalities |
| Indicative cost | THB 3,500 per 12-hr shift, or per-visit from THB 1,200 | 12-hr THB 1,800/day · monthly THB 30,000–41,000 |
How most families control cost: keep a live-in caregiver for continuous presence and book a nurse only on the days a procedure is due.

Who is responsible for nursing and caregiving at home
The nurses and caregivers who come to your home work to one set of standards, set by a rehabilitation physician, with a nursing manager directly responsible for the quality of their work.

Medical Director, Rehabilitation Medicine

How it works
- 01
Tell us the condition and procedures needed
Call 061-881-9399 with details of indwelling tubes, wound stage and required procedures, plus hospital paperwork if you have it.
- 02
Choose shift cover or a single visit
For an occasional procedure such as a monthly tube change, single visits cost far less. For daily monitoring plus multiple procedures, take shift cover.
- 03
Nurse assigned and care begins
We assign a nurse with matching experience. Vitals are taken and charted each shift so trends are visible — not a single reading.
- 04
Report and coordinate with doctors
Each shift is reported to the family with what to watch next, and escalated to the treating doctor when needed.

Frequently asked questions
What does a home nurse cost?
Continuous 12-hour shifts: THB 3,500 daily, THB 22,500 weekly (about THB 3,214 per day) and THB 90,000 monthly (about THB 3,000 per day). Single procedure visits start at THB 1,200.
Do you provide bedside care in hospital?
Yes. The nurse stays in the hospital room, monitors the patient, assists with daily needs, coordinates with ward staff and explains what is happening to the family — useful after surgery or when nobody can rotate the night watch.
Can tubes and catheters be changed at home?
Yes. Urinary catheter change is THB 2,200; NG tube change is THB 1,600 standard or THB 1,900 silicone. Both are typically changed every two to four weeks depending on tube type and the doctor's orders, and tube position is verified before every use.
Can pressure sores be dressed at home?
Yes. Wound care for a size S, grade 1–2 sore is THB 1,200 per visit (consumables not included). The nurse stages the wound before choosing a dressing method and teaches the family what to do between visits and which signs need urgent reporting.
Can you cover 24 hours?
Yes, by rotating more than one nurse; this is quoted per case on 061-881-9399. A cheaper pattern is a live-in caregiver plus a nurse for procedure rounds only.
