PlanCare is bringing health at home through exceptional home nursing services. The concept of home healthcare services is not new. Traditionally, people in Pakistan used to take assistance at home from family members or Ayas at home. However, with the change in dynamics of society and enhanced need for personal care, the role of professional nurses has increased significantly over the last decade. Continuous hospitalization for elderly care does not fit well with most people. Nursing care at home is exceptionally effective for patients. First of all, nursing care provides better support for those who need elderly care, senior care, diabetic care, hygiene care, or daily assistance in living. Similarly, specialized nursing care services for patients of cancer, stroke, and dementia in-home provide better comfort and enhanced care.

Home nursing services are provided by paramedical staff that may include Registered Nurses (PNC), Assistant Nurses (midwives, Lady Health Visitors, and Nursing Assistants).
PlanCare has the biggest Nursing pool in Pakistan in various cities including Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Multan, and Faisalabad.

What is the cost of nursing care in Pakistan?
Home nursing services are in high demand for various reasons. First of all, there is no proper setup or institution that deals with elderly care. It is the duty of the children or family members to take care of their elders. At the same time, these family members take pride and find contentment in serving the elders at home. However, the rise in charges of hospitalization cost and busy schedule of private life make it difficult for the children to provide utmost care to the patients. Thus, hiring a professional nurse at home makes a lot of sense in terms of cost-effectiveness and personalized care.
The cost of the home nursing services is much cheaper than hospitalization. In cities like Lahore, Islamabad or Rawalpindi any hospital would cost almost 25000 Rs per day. In most cases, when care can be given at home nursing services would reduce this cost by 60-80%. This means that nurse at home costs between 3000 – 5000 Rs per day.
