Important notes

Service scope

Home-care support does not replace medical diagnosis, emergency treatment, or hospital care.

  • For sudden confusion, pain after a fall, chest pain, or breathing difficulty, seek urgent medical care.
  • Everyday arrangements should fit the doctor’s diagnosis and the person’s actual ability.

Older-person Care FAQs

How is this different from an accompaniment service?

Accompaniment mainly supports a hospital visit. Home care focuses on everyday observation, home routines, and caregiver teaching.

Can there be a one-off teaching session?

A one-off caregiver teaching session may be considered, or support can be reviewed over time according to the person’s needs.
