GUARDIANS OF DIGNITY

Today, healthcare faces issues of confidentiality and dignity. For this reason, QuickCare has pledged to become Guardians of Dignity to provide a dignified treatment to the elderly. Below are some of our plans for this programme:

Elderly chronic care plan

Approximately 86% of the elderly have a minimum of one chronic health problem and about 61% have at least two chronic problems. These are long term health problems and will need regular medical attention and care. It is challenging for the elderly to cope with different chronic conditions.

At QuickCare, our elderly chronic care plan will help our older patients to manage the various home care physiotherapy and medical treatments administered to them to maintain a good quality of life. Also, our seamless services and at-home medical equipment will help avoid the hassle of navigating through the complex healthcare system.

Assisted living / Elderly guardian services

Assisted living is a long-term care service for the elderly. This includes personal healthcare and support services like meals, bathing, dressing, medication management, transportation and a medical attendant for home. QuickCare equips the living spaces of the elderly in a manner that they can take maximum advantage of the services of assisted living and enjoy their independence.

Our guardian services for the elderly will:

  • Provide meals
