Continuous Care

There are many patients who are suitable for home care and for whom home care is an effective alternative to inpatient care who will not be discharged from home care. In fact, many of them require care for major portions of every day, if not 24 hours a day. These include:

  • Technology-dependent patients:

Respiratory conditions treated by ventilators, infusion.
