Home Care Services – MediHeart Medical Center

Home care services are an essential healthcare service aimed at supporting the quality of life of individuals who have difficulty accessing healthcare facilities, require regular monitoring due to chronic illnesses, are in the post-operative recovery process, or need health support due to advanced age.

Every individual’s health condition is different. Therefore, the home care process is planned in accordance with the individual’s general health status, existing illnesses, daily living needs, and physician evaluation.

Within the scope of Home Care Services Güzelyurt, MediHeart Medical Center provides support for the organization of health services that can be planned in the home environment for eligible patients.

Our center serves not only the Güzelyurt region but also patients applying from different regions of the TRNC, primarily Lefke, Nicosia (Lefkoşa), Kyrenia (Girne), Famagusta (Gazimağusa), and İskele. Under appropriate circumstances, evaluations can also be made for individuals applying from throughout North Cyprus and Cyprus.

Home care services are a comprehensive approach aiming to ensure that the patient receives safe, planned, and regular health support within their own living space as much as possible.

• General health evaluation

• Follow-up planning

• Regular health check-ups

• Informing patients and their relatives

• Coordination of health applications deemed necessary

The scope of home care may vary depending on the individual’s health status.

• Advanced age individuals

• Persons with restricted mobility

• Patients in the post-operative recovery process

• Individuals with chronic illnesses

• Persons requiring regular health monitoring

• Patients recommended to rest at home for a temporary period

• Individuals in need of care support

Each application is planned individually in accordance with physician evaluation.

• Conducting the follow-up process more regularly

Home care services are not a replacement for hospital services, but rather a complementary approach that supports the healthcare process in eligible patients.

Chronic illnesses may require long-term monitoring. For instance, regular health check-ups are important in conditions such as:

• Hypertension

• Diabetes

• Cardiovascular diseases

• Respiratory system diseases

• Neurological diseases

The frequency of monitoring in patients for whom home care planning will be carried out is determined based on individual needs.

• Monitoring general health status

• Regular evaluation

• Supporting quality of life

• Referring to relevant specialty areas when necessary

Since every elderly individual’s needs differ, the care plan is created tailored to the person.

• Evaluation of general health status

• Dressing planning

• Monitoring the recovery process

• Re-evaluation in cases deemed necessary

are carried out in line with physician recommendations. The post-operative follow-up plan may vary depending on the type of procedure performed and the general condition of the patient.

• Internal Medicine

• Cardiology

• Neurology

• Pulmonology

Under appropriate circumstances, health planning can also be carried out for individuals applying from across North Cyprus and Cyprus.

How Are Home Care Services Planned?

Home care services are not applied in the same way for every individual. A personalized plan is made by taking into account health needs, existing illnesses, age, mobility, and daily living requirements. During the initial evaluation process:

• General health status is examined.

• Existing illnesses are evaluated.

• Medications used are reviewed.

• Daily living activities are evaluated.

• Mobility is examined.

• Consultation from relevant branches can be planned if deemed necessary.

In line with these evaluations, the scope of the home care process is determined.

The Importance of Patient Relatives in Home Care

Patient relatives also play an important role in the home care process. Patient relatives acting in accordance with physician recommendations, not skipping check-ups, paying attention to the medication usage plan, tracking changes in the patient, and applying to a healthcare institution when necessary can contribute to the planned execution of the home care process. Informing patient relatives on topics they need is also an important part of care planning.

Safe Approach in Home Care Services

Safe applications must be prioritized when planning healthcare services in the home environment. Within this scope, paying attention to hygiene rules, maintaining regular health check-ups, adhering to physician recommendations, evaluating unusual symptoms without delay, and applying to a healthcare institution in cases deemed necessary are important. Home care services are a planned process that supports the regular monitoring of the patient’s general health status.

Home Care and Chronic Disease Management

Regular monitoring plays an important place in monitoring the health status of individuals with chronic illnesses. Patient groups for whom home care planning can be made include:

• Hypertension patients

• Diabetes patients

• Individuals with cardiovascular diseases

• Persons with respiratory system diseases

• Patients requiring monitoring due to neurological diseases

• Individuals with restricted mobility

The follow-up plan is created entirely according to the individual’s health needs.

The Importance of Regular Monitoring in Home Care

Regular health check-ups can contribute to the early evaluation of changes in an individual’s general health status. Blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, blood sugar, general health status, movement capacity, and nutritional status can be evaluated when necessary during the monitoring process. The scope of these evaluations varies from person to person.

Nutrition and Home Care

Healthy nutrition is one of the important components of the home care process. In some patients, a dietitian evaluation can be made for nutrition planning when deemed necessary. Age, existing illnesses, daily energy requirement, activity level, and physician recommendations are evaluated together while establishing the nutrition regimen.
