Home Visit
Home care can vastly improve the quality of life for patients who are confined to their homes. Designed to promote physical, psychological, and social well-being of the client, home care visits take care of the needs of the client as well as their family members. Regular home visits can be scheduled for 2-3 hours per day or will be customised based on the needs of the clients.
Our professional services include assessing the patient’s needs, developing a plan of care based on specific requirements and implementation of nursing care. Routine planned tasks will focus on assisting with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, toileting, grooming and feeding, and medication administration including intravenous infusions, wound care/ dressing changes, and other such tasks.
Live-in Home Care
Patients who are chronically ill require specialised 24*7 assistance in their own homes. We offer live-in home care during the daytime and at night, which includes care activities such as physical assessment, change of wound dressing, insertion and removal of catheters like intravenous, urinary and nasogastric tube and so on. The care is also extended to management of physical activities, nutritional management, medication management, investigations like blood, urine and stool, sputum etc. Supervisory visits and health education to the patient and family members are also a part of this service.
Visit by Doctor
Patients who are unable to visit a hospital will benefit from home visits by qualified and experienced doctors. Expert doctors will visit your home for personal consultations and discussions on care plans. Life-threatening emergencies will also be taken care of, on an SOS basis. The next time you require a doctor’s consultation, just call our services and get a doctor to visit you right at home!

Pain Management
Pain management can lead to a better quality of life. This is the greatest challenge for the patient, relatives as well as the caregivers. Our individualized pain management system will focus on various techniques like distraction, hot/cold application, exercise, mental imaging, positive thinking and other best practices. It also includes appropriate management of drugs with rigorous monitoring.
Physiotherapy / Health Promotion
Better health and disease prevention in older adults can be promoted through lifestyle modifications, increased participation in healthcare activities and increased awareness about health issues that could arise. Our nurses will help you with physiotherapy and exercises to strengthen self-care and improve independent functioning that will enhance the quality of life. Patients will be educated on how to carry out regular muscle strengthening exercises and prevent pain related with muscle stiffness.
End of Life Care / Palliative Care / Hospice Nursing Care
Patients who are facing life-threatening illnesses and their families require specialised support that is compassionate and gentle, and includes psychological counselling as well as pain relief and disease management. It is focused on providing support and care for persons in the last phase of an incurable disease, so that they might live as fully and as comfortably as possible. The main goal of this care is to provide comfort and compassionate support during the last stage of life, and improve the quality of life while ensuring that dignity and privacy is maintained.
Nutritional Management / Diet Consultation
A healthy, well balanced and nutritious diet can go a long way toward maintaining good health. Aged people may have constraints in staying well-nourished and getting the right nutrients, due to physical and social reasons. Our experts will perform a nutritional assessment, in order to understand the dietary habits of the client and the family members. A customised menu will be planned after a detailed discussion with the treating physician and the dietician.
