Before deciding

A few useful
questions.

Can care start with a few nursing visits?

Yes. A nurse can visit for specific needs, and the hours can change if more help is needed. Ask the Cape Town team to assess how often someone should visit.

Is home care available after surgery or a hospital stay?

Yes. The team can discuss nursing, wound care and rehabilitation support after discharge. Share the discharge plan so they can assess what is suitable at home.

Can the family arrange a break from caring?

Yes. Ask the Cape Town team about respite care. Explain the dates, hours and help the person will need while the family carer is away.

home-care team.
