What we do
Six kinds of help, mixed into one plan
Most families start with a few hours of personal care and companionship, then add nurse checks or night sitting as needs change.
02
Companionship
Conversation, a walk to the veranda, help to call a grandchild, someone to sit with through the long afternoon.
How companionship works03
Medication reminders
Caregivers prompt and record doses from a pill organiser filled by the family or a nurse. We never change a prescription.
How medication reminders works04
Visiting nurse checks
Registered nurses check blood pressure and blood sugar, dress wounds and change catheters as the client's doctor instructs.
How visiting nurse checks works05
After a hospital stay
Short-term support for the first weeks back home from University of Uyo Teaching Hospital or any private hospital.
How after a hospital stay works06
Night sitting
An awake caregiver through the night, so the family can sleep and someone is there for the bathroom trips.
How night sitting worksThe care plan builder
Sketch the week of care before anyone visits
Pick what would help, the days and the hours. The builder draws the week, lists what the caregiver will do at each visit and works out an example monthly fee. Bring it to the free assessment and we start from there.

Families in Uyo
What families tell us
Our mother would not accept help from strangers. Aniekan came twice a week at first, just to talk and cook with her. By the second month she was asking when he would come.
I live in Port Harcourt and worried every day. Now I get a short message after every visit, and the nurse calls me when anything changes.
After Papa came home from the hospital, the night sitter meant my sister and I could finally sleep. The team was calm and respectful.
