EG Healthcare strives to provide health care and support to you and your family at all times, especially when it involves a senior sick and potentially immunocompromised patient. We understand the risk involved in exposing our patients to potentially dangerous viruses and pathogens, which is why we developed our Elder Care House Calls. We thought about our parents and how they dedicated their lives to us and created our home health care approach to return the favor.
We feel that medical care begins with a real relationship between healthcare providers, doctors or specialists, and their patients.
Every individual should have access to high quality and trustworthy care with control over their daily schedule and specialized care services in the comfort of their own home.
In short, we bring the approach of “treatment with the kindness you deserve” to the comfort of the senior patient’s home.
What is a sick house call?
A sick house call is similar to a doctor’s office visit; however, it is provided by a visiting Nurse Practitioner that specializes in adult and geriatric medicine in a patient’s home. We are doing our part to bring back the house calls that are only seen in the movies.
What are the benefits of in-house sick visits?
The advantages of in-house sick visits include:
- Comprehensive care that takes into account your surroundings, age, and healthcare needs.
- Providing easy access to routine care
