MEDICAL HOUSE CALLS

Medical House Calls are a necessity for the Home Bound population!

Routine preventative care & management of chronic illness is essential for the home bound elder & disabled population. 

There is a significant struggle to get to a medical office. It can be exhausting just to get washed & dressed in the morning. Adding the tasks of preparing to go out, getting transportation & someone to accompany them to the visit is a task in and of itself. Waiting to be seen, getting in the exam room and finally the work to get back home. 

The more frail or ill the person is, the less likely an office visit can be accomplished, even with a strong support system.

Imagine living on your own at 90 years old. You have outlived most of your family and friends. You rely on neighbors and delivery services for your needs. 

What happens when you suddenly become ill? 

Most would call the Primary provider and will likely be told to come into the office. When getting to the office is not possible, the likely response will be to go to the Emergency Room. 

A trip to the Emergency Room is not only expensive, it poses a danger to the individual by exposing them to other illnesses that can lead to significant debilitation, and the potential loss of their autonomy at home.

The physical, emotional & psychological stress is devastating and the financial burden is crushing.
