Home Healthcare Services

Safe and Comprehensive Medical Care Delivered in the Comfort of Your Home

Home healthcare refers to the planned and safe delivery of medical and supportive care services to individuals and their families within their own living environment. For patients who have difficulty accessing hospital services due to limited mobility, advanced age, transportation challenges, or the severity of their condition, home healthcare facilitates access to medical services while enhancing patient comfort.

Within the scope of our Home Healthcare Services, medical examinations, diagnostic testing, treatment, and nursing care are organized in the home setting. When necessary, the process is managed through a multidisciplinary approach with consultations from relevant medical specialists.

Home-Based Pressure Injury Management

What Is a Pressure Injury?

A pressure injury is localized damage to the skin and/or underlying tissue, usually occurring over bony prominences such as the sacrum, hips, or heels. It results from prolonged pressure alone or in combination with friction and shear forces. If pressure is not relieved, tissue necrosis may develop over time.

Who Is at Increased Risk?

• Bedridden patients
• Advanced age
• Chronic diseases (diabetes, heart failure, neurological disorders)
• Malnutrition
• Urinary or fecal incontinence
• Excess moisture and improper positioning

Home-Based Pressure Injury Risk Assessment

During the initial evaluation, the following are assessed:

• Activity level
• Nutritional status
• Moisture exposure
• Friction and shear risk
• Medical device-related pressure risk

An individualized care plan is implemented for high-risk patients.

Home-Based Treatment and Follow-Up of Pressure Injuries

Skin Care and Moisture Management

• Daily moisturizing of dry skin
• Avoiding unnecessary massage
• Reducing moisture exposure
• Using barrier creams when indicated

Pressure Reduction

• Repositioning bedridden patients at least every 2 hours
• Hourly repositioning for wheelchair-dependent patients
• Preferring 30° lateral positioning
• Using pressure-redistributing mattresses and support surfaces

Nutritional Assessment

• Evaluation of protein and hemoglobin levels when indicated
• Individualized nutritional planning
• Use of supplements when necessary

Wound Care and Continuous Monitoring

• Monitoring for infection and exudate
• Preparation of an appropriate wound care plan
• Telemedicine follow-up for suitable patients
