Portea — Fake nursing service

Address:Bangalore, Karnataka, 560018
Website:www.portea.com

We availed 24 hrs Nursing Service for my 3 months old baby as he had undergone surgery so we wanted trained and qualified nurse to look after my baby for few days. In the website they claim "Our nurses are highly qualified. Most of them are ICU-trained." by the fact is they are just attenders and not done any Nursing. They are Fake. Use the service at your own risk. Below is the list of complaint.

1) Makes more bottle feed(75 ml) even though we told to make 60 ml so Nurse can sleep more and avoid take care of baby. We have been told by doctor to give 60 ml.

2) Very un-hygiene.They use some face oil and just washes and uses feeding bottle without cleaning it thoroughly.

3) Always uses mobile near baby even though we told many times not to use mobile phone near baby.

4) Forcefully make baby sleep when he is in playful mood. So she can use mobile all the time.

5) Once she Hold baby leg tight and made him cry. We clearly saw the red mark in his leg.

6) Do not know to make formula milk and always tell lies. Makes 75 ml and tells us it is 60 ml. Also she first put powder and pores water and checks in hand instead of placing the empty bottle in the table, then put required amt of water and then add powder to get correct mixing. She does not care for baby health. So be careful if you have already hired.

7) Do not know how to bath a baby and handle roughly and make him cry.

8) Never listens to us. They dominate.

9) Even baby is crying, she feeds. Won't it get into his lungs?

10) One time she was sleeping holding my baby in hand. Just think what will happen! So beware! If you have already hired, do not leave your baby unattended at any cost.

Portea is a very unprofessional organisation, horrible services with no permanent staff attenders...3 of them went absconding after a day of service...in a month 7 attenders were placed...of the 2 monthly leaves, staff took 10 days leave ...extremely unhygenic, careless staff from slums, washed baby bottles in same dirty water whole day did not bother to change the water, baby started vomitting and not accepting feeds, gave stale formula bottle after 4 5 hours. Always wanted to put baby to sleep and herself slept for 2 3 hours daily even when the baby was awake...fed only 30 ml and the list of deteriorated services is endless
I have availed Kanga and Roo baby care services from Portea looking at all the jazzy feedback however they proved me that they are really unprofessional. They claim their attenders are trained and certified however when i availed their services for my 6 month old baby the lady who came in dont know how to handle a baby, neither know how to feed him, she continuously keeps feeding him not allowing a breather time for him to swallow although we warned her several times not to and today morning she wore a safety pin on her saree and she mishandled baby and my baby got deep cuts on body and had to rush taking him to hospital as it was bleeding!!! And the response from Portea just says we are sorry! all our staff are trained they arent even concerned of my baby's health not even a follow up call since morning very unprofessional DO NOT OPT THIS Company i[censored] want ur kids alive !!!
Portea should change their name to "UNPROFESSIONAL", rude staff who think we are at their mercy. I had availed their services for my Father, the first few months was rosy, later, staff started changing, they used to come late, take leaves without informing, behave rudely with my elderly parents. Portea is not fit to be in this business, they charge an exorbitant amount of money, they never fail to increase their rates once in 6 months which we are forced to pay through the nose. Their staff are unhygienic and lack decency. They are more interested in looking at their mobile phones all the time, we were told to provide them lunch which we did, they are demanding for money to eat food outside and are not ready to eat home cooked food. Portea is more interested in getting timely payments, they charge even for days when their staff hasn't attended the patient. Even after making monthly payments on time without fail, they keep calling and sending messages asking us to pay Rs. 600/- or Rs. 550/- this is nowhere in calculation and it doesn't tally with the excel sheet that they maintain. If you think that by engaging one of Portea's staff, you can be at peace, then you are wrong. These guys give you more tension and take away your peace of mind. They are a "HEADACHE" for working people and their parents. I had all the patience in the world and was expecting a positive change which didn't and wouldn't happen. I am finally at peace that I stopped their services.
