A long stay in intensive care is expensive, exhausting and carries its own infection risk. For stable patients who still require close monitoring and technical nursing, care can often be continued at home — with the right staff, the right equipment and a clear protocol. Life Line provides that service in Lahore.
Our ICU-at-home nurses are experienced in critical care work: tracheostomy care and suctioning, oxygen therapy and saturation monitoring, ventilator-adjacent support, nebulisation and chest physiotherapy, NG or PEG tube feeding, IV medication, catheter care and detailed hourly charting of the patient’s condition.
We work strictly within the treating consultant’s plan. Before care begins we review the case in detail and tell you honestly whether it can be managed safely at home — and if it cannot, we say so. Where the setup requires equipment such as an oxygen concentrator, suction machine, air mattress or monitor, we advise on what is needed and help you arrange it.
Families discharged from intensive care usually ask for ghar par ICU care — oxygen, suction, tube feeding and monitoring, set up at home. We will tell you honestly whether a particular case can be run safely outside hospital.

ICU Patient Care at Home charges in Lahore — how pricing works
ICU-level home care is the most expensive service we provide, because it requires our most experienced nurses on continuous duty and often equipment in the room. It is still typically a fraction of the cost of a private ICU bed. We quote only after an assessment, because quoting this blind would be dishonest.
What you are billed for
24-hour nurse cover
A qualified, experienced nurse present at all times in a rotation. The standard arrangement.
12-hour nurse cover
Where the family can safely manage part of the day themselves.
Setup and assessment
A first visit to assess the patient, the room and the equipment needed before care starts.
Equipment guidance
We advise on oxygen concentrators, suction units and air mattresses — you source or rent them separately.
What moves the price up or down
- The level of support the patient needs — oxygen, tracheostomy, tube feeding, monitoring
- How many nurses the rotation requires
- Whether equipment is already in place
- The expected duration of care

We do not publish a single flat rate because it would be misleading — the honest figure depends on your patient. Call or WhatsApp us with the diagnosis, what the patient can still do unaided and your area of Lahore, and we will quote a specific number. Whatever is agreed is what you pay; nothing is added to the bill afterwards.
ICU Patient Care at Home in Lahore — FAQs
Can a ventilator patient be managed at home?
Some ventilator-dependent and tracheostomy patients can be managed at home with the right equipment and trained nursing cover, on the treating consultant’s advice. We review each case individually and will tell you plainly if home care is not safe for that patient.
Do you provide the ICU equipment as well?
We advise exactly what is needed — oxygen concentrator, suction machine, air mattress, monitor, hospital bed — and guide you to reliable suppliers or rental options in Lahore, so the home is properly set up before care starts.
How is this cheaper than staying in hospital?
You pay for nursing cover and equipment rather than a private ICU bed, its overheads and daily hospital charges. For long-stay stable patients the difference over a month is usually substantial. We give you a clear monthly estimate in advance.
Do you provide female nurses?
Yes. We have both male and female staff, and for icu patient care at home we assign a female nurse or female attendant to female patients as a matter of routine — not as a special request. Bathing, catheter care, changing and any procedure needing privacy are always handled by same-gender staff where the family wants that. Tell us when you call on 0302 5286596 so we assign correctly the first time.
