In-home care refers to a wide range of support services provided to individuals who require assistance or care in their own homes. It is a type of healthcare service that allows people to receive personalized care while remaining in the comfort and familiarity of their own residences, as opposed to moving to a residential facility or hospital.
At Upendo homecare we provide In-homecare to individuals of various age groups, including seniors, people with disabilities, and those recovering from illness or surgery. The services offered can be tailored to the specific needs of the individual and can encompass both medical and non-medical care.
Medical care provided in-home can include tasks such as medication management, wound care, administering injections, monitoring vital signs, and coordinating with healthcare professionals. Non-medical care often includes assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, light housekeeping, transportation, and companionship.
The goal of in-home care is to promote independence, improve quality of life, and enable individuals to recover in a familiar environment. It can be a suitable alternative to institutional care for those who prefer to stay at home but still require assistance and support. In-home care services are typically delivered by trained caregivers, home health aides, or licensed healthcare professionals, depending on the level of care required.
