More than a Palliative Care facility that tries to provide the best nursing care for the elderly, this is a lovely place filled with approachable and caring people. My father passed away five months ago. He was in his late seventies and had been suffering from cardiac issues and kidney disease for a few years. After him being in and out of the hospital a few times, and us struggling to provide the qualified nursing care that he needed constantly, we were at our wits end as a family, with his situation, as he was completely bed-ridden and needing help in every aspect of his life, like a baby. An acquaintance referred me to Kancare and after consulting with my dad’s doctor, we decided to move him there. By then, he’d been in and out of the ICU for almost three weeks, with barely a chance to interact with us (his family) due to the Covid19 related regulations. I’m happy to say that his final days were spent in the company of people who truly took care of him; in a setting that was like a home, rather than a hospital. Kancare has fully qualified and experienced nurses who also have the natural inclination to provide loving care to the elderly; I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is going through a similar situation. Thank You,

I have visited this place only once in my life.It was a great experience there.I found all nursing staffsworking sincerely. It makes me tearful. Also,Divin the male staff there is a smart boy working with selfless effort. I praise God for bringing up such graceful children even during the 21 st century. I appreciate Dr Sarah for her godly vision. Wishing all staffs working there all happiness and blessings in life.

My internship experience with kancare family was really pleasing. This internship benefited me in a number of ways. I would recommend kancare to the outgoing nursing students to get the best experience with a fun filled and goal oriented approach. Being there for few months, nothing came even close to this place in terms of cleanliness, good food, selfless service, a hands on competent team and the fact that they really care for the patients. I am eternally grateful to Dr. Sarah and her team for taking care of parents there. Also, I can attest to a very high standard of cleanliness and hygiene. It is also the only care facility of its kind that, I found to be transparent in their day to day operations and extend support like a real family. Dr Sarah, Sr. Lissy and all staffs are doing a great service there. May God bless you all..

Kancare foundation has a calm and peaceful environment ,which In itself is a boon for the unwell elderly. The premises were clean and i found that the patients are also well taken care of with love and utmost hyigene. Dr.Sarah and her staff are very caring of the patients and their needs and necesseties are taken care of very well. I am a Prosthetist and i happened to visit this center for assessment of an amputee patient. I was thoroughly impressed by the compassion of the staff and the manner in which they cared for the elderly.

We will never forget the support and care that the doctors, nurses and the staff of Kancare Fondation extended to us in the last days of my uncle Joboy Thomas Varghese in December 2018. My uncle and family are based in Ahmadabad and he was almost brain dead with multiple organ failures after a massive cardiac arrest that happened during a normal visit to Kerala. Kancare arranged all what was required for the family to take care of him after the discharge from the hospital. We were touched by the way Kancare team stood with his family and relatives in his last moments. They didn’t give unrealistic hope or didn’t try to extract money from the helpless family. We remain thankful to the Kancare team. Best wishes to the foundation in this essential service. God bless!

I had to admit my mother two years back in Kancare due to her deteriorating health, she was also bedridden and was not taking food properly. She was suffering from bed sores also. In the beginning I was doubtful and worried in admitting my mother in a palliative care centre. But the staff and doctors in Kancare were of great help. They provided good care and support, which completely cleared my apprehension. I would also like to express my gratitude towards Dr. Sara and Dr. Manoj and other staffs, especially Sister Lisy.

My mother has been suffering from acute pulmonary edima since the past three years. Recently the condition worsened and I understood that I wouldnt be able take good care of my mother on my own, without the help of proper medical care. This is when I came to know about KANCARE. I approached Dr. Sarah Boby and after much thinking, decided to admit my mother there.Initially I was very worried although now I realise that it was the right decision. Their exemplary sense of dedication, care, support and patience are qualities to be applauded on.Im deeply grateful to Dr. Sarah, Sister Lissy, Sister Sibi and each and everyone of the entire team, including the members of the kitchen department.I thank you all, may God bless you.

My MOTHER Late Kunjamma Antony was under the care of Kancare Foundation center from Mid April till she passed away on October 1st 2020.She was admitted after she had a fall end of March and was diagnosed of severe Atrophy related ailments. Dr Sarah was kind enough to get her admitted at this hospital. Proximity to our home added the choice of hospital.But the most important factor off coerce was the care and treatment provided by the hospital.Nursing care provided was of the highest quality and sincerity.They could provide the best of palliative care to our mom. Food provided was of great quality and was served from their heart.They looked after her like their own mother and was very prompt in attending to her medical needs including providing expert advise as and when required.They gave us lot of strength to face the reality throughout our time of test.Even when she passed away, they let her have her most honorable and peaceful end. I take this opportunity to thank Dr Sarah and her team of nurses and the staff for taking care of my mom.Our family will always have the entire team in our prayers and we wish them all the very best and hope they will take care of everyone who come their way.God bless the team for their selfless service to the needy.Regards and best wishes,Jortin,Sheeba ,Sradha and Shreya

We are indeed very grateful to Kancare, Dr Sarah and the dedicated team. It has been a great blessing for my father to be looked after with great patience and care. Papa has vascular dementia and needs to be under 24/7 care. My sister and I have been able to live far away from our father with peace of mind.We celebrated Papas 88th birthday with the staff and felt like family.Dr Sarah has started this organisation with a lot of passion and dedication for Elder care. In times as these where there is a need for palliative and elder care in our society, Kancare stands out. Kancare has a dedicated team of staff who are constantly working hard to make each individual feel at home. The families have a peace of mind to leave their loved ones in their care.Dr Sarah is a visionary and has started Kancare with a motive of service to mankind and in turn service to the Lord.May the Lord bless Kancare and all the staff. May they continue to be a blessing to many. Our sincere prayers with them always.

My father spent close to 4 months at Kancare after being bedridden for months due to a Traumatic brain injury. We are so grateful for the care my dad received at Kancare. Dr.Sarah and her team is truly dedicated towards providing quality holistic care to patients who need round the clock care. The staff at Kancare treated my dad with utmost care and compassion. The facility is well maintained and there are on- call doctors in case of emergencies. It’s very hard to see a loved one going through tough times. However, it’s always comforting to know that they are getting professional care with a personal touch! Many thanks to Dr.Sarah and her team for all their good work!

My mom spent 4 months at Kancare Foundation and I stayed there for 10 days too. She passed away peacefully there few weeks ago. I am so thankful to Dr.Sarah and the amazing staff that she has trained, for their compassion and care towards my mom and for allowing me to stay in the same room with her. Knowing that she was well taken care of gave us peace during this painful time in our lives. Whenever we asked our mom if she wanted us to move her back home or stay here, she indicated to us that she wanted to stay. And the level of care, cleanliness was of such high quality. Because of Dr.Sarah and her staff, I will always have a peaceful memory of a painful time in our lives. There aren’t enough words and feelings to convey my gratitude. Thank you.

My father spent 7 days at Kancare foundation. Before that, he spent three weeks at a multi-specialty hospital. During those three weeks, my mother and I were in a constant state of stress and uncertainty. We didnt know what the next day would unfold and what new problem would come our way. But, those last 7 days(my father passed away at Kancare), we both felt a sense of peace, which came through the incredible care provided by the nurses and support staff at Kancare foundation. Not to say that he wasnt given excellent care at the hospital, but the staff at Kancare provided holistic care. They cared for his health, yes, but above all his happiness. That type of care is what you expect from family, and my mother and I felt like we were with family. It is a marvelous thing to experience such peace and care in the middle of such sorrow. It put things in perspective and we could see light at the end of the dark tunnel. Once my father passed, Dr. Sarah and the rest of the staff showed such incredible compassion towards us. We are incredibly grateful for all that they have done for us and wholeheartedly recommend anyone reading that if they have a loved one in need of special and intensive care, that they consider Kancare Foundation and the staff therein as a wonderful source of care and comfort.

Cancare is a blessing in healthcare for our loved ones in the comfort of our home. They have an excellent team in whose hands the patients are secure and comfortable. They provide a very timely service and keep following up until they know the patient is fine.I loved the way my mother was taken care by team Cancare led by Dr. Sarah Bobby when she was Ill and was not in a condition to go to a hospital.I wish all success to the noble initiative and may the team reach many more elderly patients. Healthcare at your door steps - Cancare!!

Kancare has been a home away from home for my grandpa who is need of extensive professional care. Knowing Dr. Boby personally, she is a highly motivated individual pursuing excellence with nobility. It translates to the services, care and love that the team offers to the residents. I have always seen her and the team talking tenderly to my grandpa addressing him as “acha(dad)” and this has been very assuring and comforting to us. He is not treated like a patient but as their own. Thank you Kancare!

My dad is an octogenarian and due to diabetes and other complications was bed ridden for the past few months. My mom was finding it difficult to manage him at home even though we had the services of a caregiver (who kept changing), I was concerned for her health as well which led me to search for an alternative. After searching and visiting quite a few instituitions, my cousin suggested Kancare. I visited the place and decided to put him up there based on the following:1. Location - its a quite place very near to EMC hospital and near enough for my mother to visit him.2. Premises - excellent facilities, well maintained and clean3. Management and staff - Dr. Sarah is a kind person who patiently heard all our issues and took us into her confidence by explaining how they can assist and the various options available to us. Her staff is also well trained to take care of the patients and are very helpful.4. Patient to staff ratio - it was just nice as it is not over crowded unlike some of the other places I visited ensuring that patients get appropriate care. Also they have a shift in place so that the staff have time to relax and recover from the stress of care giving.5. Billing - transparency in billing matters where all the receipts are provided electronically6. Communication - Both Dr. Sarah and staff are prompt in answering to our messages either through WhatsApp or email. They also created a WhatsApp group for us and regularly post pictures of my dad and other updates which keeps my family apprised of his condition.My father is happy there and is now able to sit in a wheelchair and is starting to gain weight.I would wholeheartedly recommend Kancare and would like to thank Dr. Sarah and her staff for the valuable help and services offered with care and love.

I have the highest recommendations for Kancare, from my own personal experience, as a US trained practicing teaching physician in geriatric, palliative and hospice care . I love the way Dr. Sarah has set up her organization, her philosophy, how she has gathered and trained her team of staff.She has carefully chosen the facility and location. I even love the colors and decor , all well done with such professionalism!! Kancares whole person approach with leave way for shared decision making, of working together with family for behavioral and spiritual well being of the patient, in addition to medical and nursing care is in tune with my own philosophy of medical care as an integrative medicine physician . This is a place I would choose for myself at any point of time. I wish and pray that Dr. Sarah, her staff and Kancare be a blessing to many people and families in Kerala and beyond. May God bless you. Dr. Neena Thomas

Had recently visited their facility at kalamassery and was taken aback by the atmosphere and surroundings. The facility is located at a calm and quite place with ample open space and a spacious verandah, where inmates can have a relaxed evening .The Care takers are very well mannered and softspoken and take very good care of the patients. Was really impressed with the overall facility .

Cancare Home Healthcare came to our attention at a time when we were concerned about how to reach medical care to our bedridden father who was suffering from cancer. Dr Sarah and her team were a revelation. Though my father is no more now, we are happy that we were able to provide good nursing care during his last days with the help of Cancare. Can care come highly recommended by us for those looking for professional nursing care especially for the elderly. Thank you Dr. Sarah and team.

My father-in-law was elderly and chronically ill. He developed acute issues which led to hospitalization and subsequent deterioration in his condition. At this juncture, we wanted to manage him at home with palliative care since further medical procedures or therapy were unlikely to help him. Dr. Boby and her team were excellent - professional, empathetic and accessible. Speaking both as a family member and as a medical professor who practices in the US, I recommend Cancare highly for humane and effective end-of-life care.

One year back when my father in law was sick we were worried about the hospital visits and transportation, as he was very weak and unable to walk . But as a blessing Dr. Boby and her team, in Cancare ,took over the care and he got the best care at home . More than that, my mother in law too was taken care of by the team , which gave us a great peace of mind , being away from home . They went above and beyond with the care and love towards my in laws. May the Almighty God bless them abundantly and give them the grace to continue the great work they are doing in Kochi and let their work be expanded .Mary Minu Joji

My aged parents find it annoying and inconvinient to visit hospitals . The long waiting time to get appointments and see a doctor and then the wait for various tests and bill payment is what deters them from visitng a hospital for their periodic necesary checkups. With Can care, all of the above is well taken care off and medicines delivered to them at home with reports reaching us children keep us updated on their health and well being. Apart from the normal routine check ups, they are accessible and welcoming to any intermediatery health issues that require attention. They have well trained and well behaved staff. Highly recomended!!👍👍
