More and more Algerian families are choosing hospital at home. Here are the answers to the questions we hear most often.
Eligibility
- A stable state of health, compatible with care outside hospital.
- An accessible home with some room for equipment.
- A relative or care aide present, depending on how dependent the patient is.
- Agreement from the patient and family.
The process
A doctor visits for the assessment: clinical exam, review of the hospital file and a look at the home. They then propose a written care plan stating the number of visits, the equipment and the staff required.
After the assessment
The doctor gives you the written care plan and answers your questions: length of care, how often doctors and nurses visit, the equipment needed and whether a care aide is required. You then decide, with no commitment.
Ask for your assessment on WhatsApp or through the form — we'll call you back quickly.
Frequently asked questions
Does the assessment commit me to anything?
No. It checks that care at home is possible and prepares the care plan — you decide afterwards.
