Home Care: Those patients who cannot be transported to the clinic are seen at their own home by a team of nurses and volunteers on a regular basis. If they feel a professional help is needed, a doctor also accompany the team. The Hindustan petroleum Corpn. has kindly donated us a vehicle for conducting the Home Care programme.

1. Volunteers' homecare: This is done by the community volunteers who visit the patients regularly. The volunteers check the patient for drug compliance and the general condition of the patient and reports regularly to the clinic. They also make an assessment of the social and financial issues and plan whatever support is possible by the Society. These visits are very important, since the general condition of the patients and their requirement in terms of drugs and other medical issues will be known to the Nurses and Doctors through their reports.

2. Nurses' homecare: They visit the patients along with volunteers to conduct minor procedures like urinary catheterization, ryle's tube insertion, wound dressing,  education of family members in routine wound dressing, catheter care, care of the feeding through tubes, ostomy care, bed sore  prevention, introducing waterbed. Providing rice kits to the needy families will be done during these visits.

3. Doctor's homecare: Based on reports from Nurses the doctor visits the patient to address specific medical issues, like  assessment of new symptoms, attending to minor procedures like ascites fluid drainage, tracheostomy care, etc. Consultation regarding diagnosis prognosis will be done and treatment, if necessary, will be suggested.
