Ahmed Shaikh, a retired schoolteacher living in Mumbra, had always been active — offering evening prayers at the masjid, sipping chai with neighbours, and reading newspapers each morning.
But after a sudden knee injury last winter, his daily routine changed completely.

Climbing stairs became painful.
Standing for long periods was impossible.
Even simple tasks like preparing breakfast or taking a bath became challenging.

His daughter, Sana, who lives in Navi Mumbai, visited as often as she could. But with a full-time job and two young kids, she constantly worried.

“I felt helpless knowing Abbu was struggling alone,” Sana recalls.

She needed someone trustworthy — someone caring — someone her father would feel comfortable with.

That’s when she heard about MaidOnCall Elder Care Support through a neighbour.

A Gentle Beginning

The next morning, MaidOnCall assigned a trained caregiver named Farzana.
She arrived with a warm smile and the patience of someone who genuinely cared.

Within just a few days, Ahmed began to feel the change:

• She helped him walk safely inside the house

• Prepared light meals and ensured he took his medicines

• Assisted with bathing and grooming

• Kept him company and listened to his stories

• Helped maintain a clean, comfortable environment

Ahmed says,
“Farzana beti treats me like her own father. Allah has sent her as a blessing.”

A New Routine, A New Peace

What touched Sana the most was the emotional comfort her father received.
He was no longer lonely… no longer scared of slipping… no longer struggling to get through the day.

Farzana even reminded him of prayer timings and helped him sit comfortably for namaz.

Ahmed often told his daughter,
“Don’t worry about me now. I am in safe hands.”

For Sana, this was priceless.

What MaidOnCall Really Provided

It wasn’t just elder care.
It was dignity.
It was companionship.
It was emotional peace for the entire family.

Ahmed recovered slowly, but confidently — supported every day by someone who treated him with respect and kindness.

Today, Sana continues MaidOnCall’s weekly Elder Care Support service and recommends it to every family needing trusted help for their elders.
