📖About Home Visit

A home visit is an in-person medical consultation conducted at the patient's residence, typically for elderly, bedridden or post-surgical patients who find it difficult to travel to a clinic. The doctor or nurse carries essential diagnostic equipment to perform a physical examination, review medications and manage ongoing conditions in the patient's home environment. It allows for a more holistic assessment of the patient's living conditions and caregiving support. Home visits are especially valuable for palliative care, chronic disease management and post-discharge follow-up.
