What is home-based care?
Home Based Care is a term used to describe several forms of care provided at a client’s home, in order to promote, restore and maintain a person’s maximum level of comfort, function and health.
This can either be personal care (assisting with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, toilet routine, nappy change etc), daily activities to keep the mind sharp and companionship.
Is home-based care right for me/a family member?
Home based care allows the elderly and people with a variety of diagnoses and situations to receive the care as needed in the safety of your own home.
Home based care is often the right choice for people who are:
- Caring for aging family members.
- Living with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.
- Managing long-term medical conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, paraplegic etc.
- Recovering after an injury, illness or hospital stay.
- Managing a setback of a chronic medical condition.
How long does home-based care last?
There is no set length of time, it can vary based on the person’s own unique needs.
Will we always get the same caregiver?
- We strive to establish a good relationship between the Caregiver and the patient. However, if you are not satisfied with your Caregiver, we will find a match that will suit you and make you happy.
- We also have a back up system that guarantees coverage in the event of an emergency or illness of your Caregiver.
Why choose home-based care?
Home based care enables a person to live as independently as possible without giving up the comforts of their own home.
It enables them to stay in a familiar environment whilst knowing that they have access to skilled, consistent, reliable care.
How do I pay for home-based care?
- Services can be paid for directly by the person receiving care, family members, trusts etc.
- Some medical aids do cover home-based care; however, you need to check what your benefits are with your medical aid and the plan that you are on as certain medical aids only cover certain conditions.

In 2022 Mandie and her team assisted with my late wife when her condition was deteriorating due to cancer and they assisted until the day of her passing, professionally and diligently.
In 2023 I contacted Mandie again to assist with my father and again she was immediately available and assisted until the final day when I arranged for an ambulance to take him to the hospital where he had passed later that day.
I will recommend within a heartbeat Nurses R Us, they are really angels in what they do.
Thank you Mandie. (2023)
