Is the cost of patient care at 600-800k VND/day really cheap? Comparing SAN and traditional services | SAN – Patient Care Application

When the family has seriously ill patientsOne of the first questions is always: hire a caregiver How much does it cost?

Just search online or ask in online groups, and you'll find the common price range:

• 500,000 – 800,000 VND/day
• Or 350,000 – 520,000 VND/day for basic services.

At first glance, this price seems "reasonable," even "cheap," compared to having to take time off work to care for a loved one.

But the question is: what are you paying for?

1. TRADITIONAL RENTAL MODEL: CHEAP BUT WITH A TRADE-OFF

Most services on the market today operate in this way:

• Rent through a group
• Through a broker
• Or small companies

General model:

• One person works 12–24 hours/day.
• No shift changes.
• No support system

This leads to a very obvious problem:

Humans cannot work continuously. The quality remains consistent.

After 2–3 days:

• The caregiver started to suffer from sleep deprivation.
• Accumulated fatigue
• Losing patience
• Reduced visibility

For critically ill patients, this is no longer a matter of "poor service," but a real health risk.

2. TRAINING & PROFESSIONALISM ISSUES

According to many professional care providers, untrained caregivers will:

• Failure to recognize danger signs
• Failure to monitor the disease properly.
• Unable to coordinate with the hospital.

Meanwhile, the majority of caregivers come from group organizations:

• Follow the example
• There is no process.
• No quality control

This makes each caregiver a "different risk."

3. NO TRANSPORTATION SERVICE AVAILABLE

One very important point that few people notice:

Most traditional services do NOT provide transportation to doctor's appointments.

The family still has to:

• Arrange for someone to drive you.
• Requesting time off from work
• Or hire more people.

The actual cost is not just the cost of medical care.

4. SAN – A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MODEL

SAN does not function as “hire people on a daily basis"

Instead:

• Hourly rate:
  • 42,000 – 70,000 VND/hour
• Flexible:
  • Only rent when necessary.
  • No need to pay all day
• Scientific shift change:
  • Don't force someone to work 24 hours a day.
  • The caregiver remains alert.
• It has a system:
  • There are replacements.
  • Support is available.
  • Under control

6. CHEAP PRICE OR REAL COST?

Many families think:

"I can save a few hundred thousand dong per day"

But the reality is:

• Poor care → readmission
• Missing the signs → complications
• If we have to hire more people, the cost will increase.

A low initial price can turn into a higher cost.

IN CONCLUSION

• Price is not the amount you pay.
• Price reflects the quality you get.

• Safety is always more important than saving money.
