Home-based care
 
provides professional medical or supportive care to individuals in their own homes. It is a flexible, patient-centered option for those who are elderly, disabled, chronically ill, or recovering from surgery or injury. In Kenya, home-based care is a growing sector that helps reduce the burden on hospitals while allowing patients to remain in a familiar, comfortable environment. 
Types of home-based care
The type of care needed depends on the patient's condition and goals. 
  • Skilled medical care: Provided by licensed professionals, such as nurses or therapists, for needs like wound care, medication management, injections, and IV therapy. This includes post-surgical, palliative, and hospice care.
  • Personal care and companionship: Provided by trained caregivers to help with daily living activities, such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and personal grooming. This can also include emotional support and social interaction.
  • Therapy services: This includes physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, all of which can be administered in the patient's home.
  • Specialized care: Specific programs exist for conditions like HIV/AIDS, cancer, and chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. 
Benefits of home-based care
