Domiciliary Hospitalization: Home Healthcare & Medical Services

Domiciliary Hospitalization: A type of medical care provided at a residence instead of a hospital. A medical team, often nurses and/or social workers, visit the patient's home to offer nursing care, wound care, administer treatments like IV infusion or injections, as well as monitor vitals and overall health condition. It focuses on delivering hospital-level services at the comfort of the individual's residence. Criteria typically apply, such as medical issues being manageable at home and meeting certain discharge criteria set by doctors and healthcare providers. Domiciliary Hospitalization aims to reduce stress caused by being in a hospital and offers individualized home-based treatment when suitable and preferred by the patient.
