When we are in
the hospital, we wish to be “at home” and when we are at home we do not want to
get out of our warm bed if we feel ill. Everyone feels that he can have more
comfort, freedom and security in his own home rather than somewhere else. You
can smell the scents you are used to; you can host friends, play with your dog
and hug your children as much as you want.
The concept of Home Care is a service that was created to fulfill the dream of
thousands of people who say “there is no place like home” when they are waiting
to heal in their hospital bed.
Home Care includes a broad range of services from newborn care and the care of
bedridden seniors to the care of patients who need to be treated at home as
well as patients who need to be taken care of after dismissal from hospital.
The aim of Home Care consists of improving the life quality of patients without
disturbing their daily routine and through providing the most appropriate and
personalized health service.
