Home Nursing Care

It can often happen that the treatment care is not sufficient to adequately care for the person in need of care in outpatient care. After all, not everyone in need of care has relatives or friends who can care for them at home in the event of illness or the like. In addition, the limitations of treatment care can be so severe that even a person who enjoys care at home from family caregivers cannot be fully cared for. 

Medical care at home

In addition to basic care and household chores, outpatient care also includes medical care at home. This plays a crucial role in both the care of the elderly and the sick. Typically, home nursing in Dubai is prescribed by a doctor for post-surgery follow-up care. However, there are other reasons for prescribing treatment care. The following information provides information about the assumption of costs and the care benefits in kind included in the treatment care.

Treatment care: what is it?

On the one hand, home care includes basic care, in which a home nursing service in Dubai supports those in need of care in coping with everyday life. This basic home care includes personal hygiene, dressing and undressing the patient, serving food and also household activities to support the person in need of care. This care can be provided by an outpatient home nursing services in Dubai, who comes several times a day or a week, or by relatives.

On the other hand, outpatient care includes the medical care of the patient, the so-called treatment care. This is limited to activities that are performed on medical orders by a registered geriatric nurse, healthcare worker, pediatric nurse or nurse. There are various reasons why the doctor prescribes treatment care for a patient within the framework of health care or geriatric care.

1. Treatment care

In general, treatment care, in the field of home nursing in Dubai, includes all medical care services that are prescribed by the doctor and then carried out by a specialist, i.e. a qualified nurse or geriatric nurse.

This includes the following services in detail:

  • Patient observation
  • Wound care 
  • Applying and changing wound dressings or supporting and stabilizing dressings
  • Applying or removing a compression bandage
  • Prevent pressure ulcer treatment and pressure sores
  • Putting on or taking off medically prescribed compression stockings or tights
  • Blood pressure measurement and blood sugar measurement
  • Checking and supply of drains
  • enemas
  • infusions
  • catheter change
  • ostomy treatment
  • Administration of medicines or administration of medicines
  • port supply
  • inhalation
  • Operating and monitoring a ventilator

2. Basic care

Basic things such as washing, eating, drinking, going to the toilet may no longer be possible independently for people in need of care. For this reason, assistance with these activities can be prescribed as part of home nursing in Dubai.

Basic care in old age

Medical care at home is also an important issue for basic care in old age. Those in need of care are not only supported by the home nursing Dubai staff in coping with everyday life, but also receive medical care. The extent to which long-term care or health insurance then applies depends on the patient’s degree of care.

Home nursing is aftercare after a hospital stay or illness.

In particular, basic care includes the following services:

  • Assistance with eating
  • Dressing and undressing
  • Assistance with washing and other personal hygiene
  • storage
  • Activating care
  • Cleaning the catheter
  • Supply of artificial exits
  • Administration of tube feeding
  • Help going to the toilet

3. Domestic activities

Taking on household chores ties in with basic care, but no longer focuses on the person in need of care themselves, but on how they get along with their environment. In concrete terms, this means that the specialist takes care of the patient’s household as part of the household chores.

This may include the following services:

  • drug procurement
  • Purchasing groceries and other necessities
  • Preparation and preparation of meals
  • Wash the dishes
  • cleaning the apartment
  • Change of linen
  • heating and ventilation

First aid and backup care

This type of medical treatment care by home nursing in Dubai is used to continue treating the patient after an operation or illness. In this way, certain treatment goals can be achieved. This can be, for example, injections and the laying of infusions or wound care. 

Depending on how severe the physical impairment of the patient is, outpatient care can also include other services such as basic care or other household chores. The aim should always be the optimal and quick recovery of the patient. Therefore, follow-up care can also be issued, the duration of which depends on the patient’s state of health.

Hospital preventive care

The doctor prescribes stay-at-home care if outpatient care can shorten or even avoid a stay in a hospital or other inpatient facility. The treatment can last up to weeks. If the necessary care lasts longer than this period, the medical service of the health insurance company can be called in. This may then determine a home nursing Dubai care for the patient.

This means that the person in need of care can stay at home and receive medical care there from a nurse. In this way, medical care can be better adapted to the wishes and needs of the person in need of care. In addition, the caring relatives can also receive valuable specialist information from the nursing staff.

Conclusion:

With medical home nursing services in Dubai, sick people in need of care can be cared for and cared for in their familiar surroundings at home – instead of being accommodated in a hospital.
