What this service is
A trained Healkin attendant provides bedside support at home for 5 hours, extended respite for family carers and help with clinic visits.
Who needs this
Families needing a longer stretch of cover from a nurse attendant — what many households call a ward boy, ward girl or aaya — and patients who need extended assistance through the day. No prescription needed.
What to expect during the visit
The attendant supports the patient's comfort and supervised mobility, and can assist with a clinic visit, across the 5-hour window. Tasks for the visit are agreed at the start.
