What We Do During Elderly Home Visits
Each visit is a mini checkup tailored to the patient's needs:
- Vital signs: Blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, temperature, blood sugar.
- Medication review: Checking that the patient is taking the right medications at the right doses. Identifying side effects or interactions.
- Physical assessment: Listening to the heart and lungs, checking for swelling in the legs, assessing mobility and balance.
- Blood tests: Periodic lab work (CBC, metabolic panel, blood sugar, cholesterol) drawn at home and sent to a lab.
- Wound care: For patients with chronic wounds, bedsores, or post-surgical sites.
After each visit, the doctor writes a brief health report. We send it to you (or the patient's family) by email. If anything needs attention, we flag it immediately.
Who This Is For
- Elderly expats living in Da Nang who don't want to navigate Vietnamese hospitals for routine care.
- Vietnamese families with aging parents who need regular monitoring but can't easily travel to a clinic.
- Patients with chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, or COPD who need ongoing management.
- Post-hospital patients who've been discharged but still need follow-up care at home.
Scheduling Options
We offer flexible scheduling:
- Weekly visits for patients with complex or unstable conditions.
- Biweekly visits for patients with well-controlled chronic conditions.
- Monthly visits for general health monitoring and medication review.
- On-demand visits when something comes up between scheduled appointments.
You pick the schedule. We'll adjust it as the patient's needs change.
Why Home Visits Work Better for Seniors
Hospital visits are tiring for elderly patients. The travel alone is often the hardest part. Waiting in crowded lobbies, moving between departments, standing in line. For someone with limited mobility, joint pain, or cognitive decline, it's exhausting and sometimes unsafe.
At home, the patient is comfortable and calm. The doctor has time to do a thorough assessment without rushing. And the family gets a written report every time.
