Home based care
It is not practical for patients living with palliative care needs to remain in hospitals due to the long term nature of the illness.
Nairobi Hospice therefore seeks to save the families unnecessary bills by making it easier for these patients to be nursed at home using available resources. It is from this understanding that Nairobi Hospice conducts affordable home visits to these patients and has done so for the last 30 years.
Meet our Caregivers
One of our most basic care for our patients is carried at their home, as this allows the patient to be in familiar and comfortable surroundings. Family members serve as the primary caregivers, while our nurses oversee medical needs. We offer help to families with counseling, respite care, and practical support.
Conditions requiring Palliative Care
These diagnoses are not limited to cancer. They include -All irreversible organ failures e.g chronic kidney failure, advanced heart failure, chronic obstructive airway disease, Interstitial lung disease, Cerebral Vascular Accident (Stroke), Hypoxic brain damage, cerebral palsy, liver failure, amnesia and HIV/AIDs. Palliative care targets life limiting illnesses which though they have no known cure have well researched management regimen which improves the patient’s quality of life and supports the family to cope. Thus our motto, “put life into their days, not just days into their life”
