House Calls Taking on New Meaning in Elder Care

Thanks so much for this post Dorian.  This is really exciting news and I hope it takes off and spreads like wildfire.  What a tremendous opportunity for the medical community to reach more people in need.  As well, this could be a great releif to caregivers struggling to get loved ones out of the house and into a doc's office.

I'll look forward to any updates on this project!

Whether a doctor visits at home or you go to him in his office, you still need to be prepared.  Read how you can make the most of doctor's appointments with tips from Dorian.

Having house calls is nice. My father-in-law has had house calls on and off depending on his doctor's schedule. In Jan./Feb. he could not come due to the weather and busy schedule but he came again 2 weeks ago. Since he  viisits nurshing homes as well, he also makes house calls but it is like favors.

It would be nice if there is a system that enables house calls. However sometimes the clinic has the advantage that there are lots of medical equipments that private homes don't have.
