Course Overview
Due to the daily rise in the cost of living, it has become increasingly clear that many people cannot afford to meet their fundamental needs, including hospital care. In a hospital setting—unlike at home—medical staff can address a patient’s specific demands. However, given the prevalence of chronic and terminally ill patients with poor prognoses, a home environment is often more suitable.
Health Care Assistance is therefore more affordable and has less of a depressing impact than prolonged hospital stays. In addition, clients’ daily needs are met, including health, education, psychological support, home-visit therapy, and even spiritual care.
It is now widely accepted that receiving care at home or within the community is far more convenient and beneficial than extended hospital admission. By enhancing people’s quality of life and prolonging their longevity, your participation in this course will bring great value to the community
