Abstract

Home care is an integral part of primary community care. It is a multi-disciplinary holistic service providing personalised care to patients who are homebound. This encompasses both the medical and psychosocial aspects and allows patients to be treated in the comfort of their home, with reliable support from healthcare professionals, the community and caregiver. This article seeks to explore and discuss the provision of home care in Singapore.
