Procare Home-based Care & Advanced Wound Care Services

Home Based Care

Home based care provides an alternative to institutionalised care for the elderly and frail as well as for adult and paediatric clients with special needs. This includes clients with cerebral palsy, Cancer, stroke victims, clients with Multiple Sclerosis or clients recovering from surgery or illness, to name but a few. ​

We acknowledge that there are times in life when everyone needs help. Our care workers are companions to their clients, in order to ensure that they are not alone. Home based care entails taking care of clients in the comfort of their own home. Research has shown that people who can remain at home, in familiar surroundings and with their families, have far less medical or emotional problems than those who live in an institution. ​ The Home based care worker integrates into the client's environment and in this way, the client is allowed to remain active and involved in activities in their own homes. Home based care workers also provide respite for a spouse or primary care worker who may have been looking after a sick or frail partner. In many situations, help is only required for specific activities e.g. a shower or bath and therefore tailor-made packages are available according to the client's individual needs. This ranges from ad on services to 24-hour live in care options. ​ A Home based care worker becomes the extension of the client, becoming the hands, feet, eyes and ears for the client. Relationships develop between the care worker, client and family, which can provide security and comfort for all parties. ​

Care workers are supplied by Procare Outsourcing, and as such are not ‘employed’ by the client or the facility. The service is an outsourced service, with Procare Outsourcing being responsible for the employment relationship of the carer, and therefore all legal and insurance requirements. Care workers are supported by a professional nurse, who is responsible for developing a care plan tailored to the client’s specific needs and for monitoring the care provided.
