Home-Based Attendant Care: A Guide for Families

Attendant care

Care for the loved one with activities of daily living needs is  actually physically exhausting. For those families who seek an alternative to care, their loved once home-based attendant care provides comfort and support in familiar surroundings. Homedoc services combine medical supervision with personal assistance, bringing all care into the individual home setting. 

Understanding Attendant Care at Home

Attendant care at home means services provided by caregivers or medical staff to assist sick, aged, or injured persons in carrying out certain activities related to daily living. Specific services rendered include personal hygiene, dressing, eating, and mobility, besides reminding them of their medication intake and offering emotional support. While hospital or nursing care is confined to the medical aspects, attendant care encompasses caring for companionship, doing household chores, and other general aspects that would make life holistic and comfortable.

Homedoc’s personalized care plans address the unique needs of every patient by making sure they receive just the right level of care—a reassuring feeling inside one’s home. And for the families, it would mean peace of mind, knowing their loved ones are looked after, even when they cannot do it themselves.

Why is Attendant Care at Home a better option?

Some of the reasons why home-based attendant care is preferred over institutional care include:

This will require a collaborative approach, one that offers both a supportive environment and keeps the families closely involved in the care provided.
