The Sakhi4Life Way
Building relationships on understanding and trust
At Sakhi4Life, we take the time and effort to first understand your needs. We then match you with the most suited care but making sure that you – the elder who needs care, the caregiver and our founders are always part of the process.
Discovering your needs
During the first contact – by phone, mail or in person, we understand your specific situation. We then map your needs according to your specific situation, ie. Elders living alone, with children, health conditions, mental health of the person needing support, and other specific expectations.
Finding your match
We carefully shortlist a Sakhi Counsellor who is a right match with the senior person with regards to age, language and cultural background. Sakhi Executives are assigned if the elder needs help with errands and at-home services unrelated to health care. Sakhi Companions are provided if the elder requires a friendly listening ear and friendship. We also cater to special requests based on specific situations.
Keeping you updated
The Sakhi Counsellor also sets up a WhatsApp group comprising of themselves, you, and one of Sakhi4Life’s founders to ensure seamless communication. If needed, we can also facilitate video calls between you and the elder concerned. We update you on the phone or mail about the results of each visit.

Due to advancing age, we felt that at this point in life we need support to handle emergencies Our son who lives in the US seems to have heard our thoughts by telepathy! He immediately organised Sakhi4 life to take care of us in Chennai. That was in first week of March 20.We least imagined that were heading for a countrywide lockdown by end March. The lockdown happened. “Stay home messages”, searing heat, and no vehicles on roads. What then do elders do? We turned to our new friends Sakhi4life.
