Why Housecalls?
Medical treatment at home offers more privacy, comfort and convenience. Family support is more readily available and the patient is in a familiar, non-threatening environment, achieving greater patient satisfaction. For patients who are unable to travel easily, such as the elderly or those with disabilities and mobility problems, home-visits can be a much more convenient option. However, not all medical problems can be treated at home and in some cases hospital-based care is necessary.
From a doctor's perspective, home-visits allow us to understand you as a whole person. We are able to appreciate your surroundings and interact with your family in a home-visit and this can help us manage your medical problems better. For example, we may be able to identify useful medical facilities near your home or things at home that may aggravate your medical condition. This is more rewarding for us because we can provide a personalized medical treatment plan which takes you as a whole person into account.
