  • Written plan

When to consult

When is a home visit the right choice?

When leaving home is a real obstacle, physical or cognitive, the visit goes to the person, not the other way around.

When to consult

  • Very limited mobility or bed-bound most of the day.
  • Travel causes pain, agitation or fall risk.
  • Advanced dementia: going out creates confusion or distress.
  • Symptom control or palliative care is needed at home.

Before your visit

  • Have every medication in the house at hand.
  • Gather recent test results and medical summaries.
  • Try to have the daily caregiver present.

Important points

  • Visits are scheduled in advance depending on the area; confirm availability on WhatsApp.
  • Emergencies (chest pain, trouble breathing, a fall with a hard blow) go to the emergency department, not to a scheduled visit.
  • The home is reviewed with respect: it is not graded, it is adapted.

During the visit

What is evaluated during the visit?

01 A complete comprehensive geriatric assessment at home

05 Vital signs and a focused exam
06 Symptom control when there is advanced illness
