Domiciliary Health Care Service
(Managing your loved one’s Care – More and Beyond)
Home health care is a system of care provided by our skilled practitioners to patients in their homes under the direction of a physician. Domiciliary hospitalisation refers to a situation where a person is considered hospitalised even if they are receiving treatment at home. We help our patients to get quality care though our Domiciliary Health Care Service which lets a patient to have the comfort of getting treated at home.
We help patients who are under certain circumstances wherein the continuous hospitalisation of a person may not be possible or preferable. For instance, if you are the parent of a minor requiring constant medical treatment and hospitalisation, you may not be comfortable with them staying at a hospital for an extended period, unsupervised.
Similarly, if your parents are in need of hospitalisation owing to a medical condition or accidental injury that can be treated at home, you may prefer having them cared for at home rather than in the hospital. We help you at this time with our team of care givers for your domiciliary hospitalisation.

Nursing care
The most common form of domiciliary health care is some type of nursing care depending on the person's needs. In consultation with the doctor, a registered nurse will set up a plan of care.

A speech therapist can help a patient with impaired speech regain the ability to communicate clearly.
