What Can and Cannot Be Done at Home

Can Be Done at Home

General health check-ups and vitals monitoring
Skin and bedsore examination, with prevention and treatment advice
Feeding and hydration review
Medicine review across multiple prescriptions
Caregiver guidance on positioning and daily care

Cannot Be Done at Home

Treating advanced, infected bedsores without hospital-level wound care
Managing acute complications like aspiration or severe infection
Round-the-clock, continuous bedside attendance (visits are periodic check-ups, not a standing shift)
Replacing a specialist's ongoing treatment plan
Emergency stabilisation for a sudden collapse

When NOT to Book a Home Visit — Call 112

Routine bedridden patient care is for a stable, ongoing situation. Sudden changes need emergency evaluation, not a scheduled visit.

• Severe chest pain, pressure or tightness
• Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, or slurred speech
• Fainting or loss of consciousness
• Severe or rapidly worsening breathlessness
• Heavy bleeding that will not stop
• Major trauma — a serious fall, road accident or head injury
• A bedsore with spreading redness, pus or a foul smell
• Sudden breathing difficulty, high fever or unresponsiveness

If any of the above applies, call 112 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department immediately. Home visits are not a substitute for emergency services.

Preparing for the Visit

• Have all current medicines and a feeding/hydration log ready, if kept
• Note any recent changes in skin condition, alertness or appetite
• Keep the mattress or positioning setup as the patient normally has it
• Have a caregiver present who knows the daily routine
• Keep contact details of any specialist the patient already sees

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

My parent is bedridden after a stroke — what kind of visits do you offer?

The doctor checks general health, skin condition for bedsores, feeding and hydration, and current medicines, then sets a visit schedule based on the patient's needs.

Can you help prevent bedsores, not just treat them?

Yes — the doctor reviews the patient's positioning routine and skin condition and advises the family on prevention, alongside treating any sores that have already developed.

Who comes for a bedridden patient care visit?

An MBBS or MD doctor visits in person for every check-up — we do not send a nurse. The doctor examines the patient, reviews skin and feeding, and guides the caregiver directly.

How often should a bedridden patient be reviewed by a doctor?

This depends on the underlying condition. The doctor will recommend a schedule — commonly weekly or fortnightly — and adjust it based on how the patient is doing.

Can the doctor review feeding-tube or catheter care during the visit?

Yes, mention this when booking so the doctor comes prepared to review tube feeding, catheter care or other ongoing needs. See our catheter care page for dedicated catheter services.

What guidance do caregivers get?

The doctor talks through positioning, skin care, feeding and warning signs directly with the caregiver present, so day-to-day care continues correctly between visits.

What does bedridden patient care cost?

The charge for each visit is confirmed on the phone before dispatch, whether it's a single check-up or part of a recurring schedule.

Can a bedridden patient be moved for the doctor's examination?

No, the doctor examines the patient in bed. Mention any specific positioning the patient needs so the visit is comfortable for them.

What if the family can't lift or reposition the patient alone?

Mention this when booking. The doctor will show the caregiver safer positioning and repositioning techniques to use correctly between visits.

Can the doctor coordinate care with a physiotherapist for a bedridden patient?

Yes — ask about our physiotherapy at home service, which covers passive range-of-motion exercises and other therapy suited to a bedridden patient, alongside the doctor's visits.
