Medigy: Home Care

Home care or home health care encompasses a wide range of healthcare services that are offered to patients at home. Home health care is considered as effective as care provided at hospitals or skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). It is less expensive and more convenient than the care services offered at healthcare facilities. Some of the services offered in home health care are: • Monitoring of patient vitals like blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, etc. • Checking if the patients are taking prescription and other drugs correctly at proper time. • Care coordination – staying in touch with the doctors to check if there are any changes in the treatment. • Monitoring the eating habits of patients and making sure that they are eating healthy food. Home health care is the key to achieving the best care possible. It ensures safety, security, and prevents unnecessary hospital readmissions.
