Frequently asked questions

What does elderly assistance cost?

Typically 3 000 – 5 500 Ft / hr in Budapest, 2 500 – 4 500 Ft elsewhere. A two-hour visit is 6 000 – 12 000 Ft; an overnight presence 20 000 – 45 000 Ft.

Does this include nursing?

No. Taskd covers companionship, accompanying, shopping and light household help. Clinical tasks — injections, wound care, administering medication — require a qualified health professional.

How should we start?

Be there as a family member for the first visit and go through the routine, medication and contact numbers. For most older people a predictable schedule matters more than the number of hours.

Is there state support?

Local councils provide home help and meal services with income-based fees. That runs in parallel to Taskd — it's worth asking your local family support service too.
