Why ICU Home Care is Important ?

1. Reducing hospital-acquired infections: ICU patients are often at a higher risk of acquiring infections due to their weakened immune system. Home care reduces the chances of acquiring infections from other patients in a hospital.
2. Increased comfort and peace of mind: Being in a familiar environment such as home provides comfort and peace of mind to ICU patients. This helps to reduce stress and improve the healing process.
3. Cost-effective: Home care is usually less expensive than hospital care. It also frees up hospital beds, which can be used to treat other patients.
4. Tailored care: Home care allows for more personalized care, tailored to the patient's needs. Improved outcomes and quicker recovery times may be the result.
