Home Care Services and Ambulance Support

Home care provides great convenience for chronic patients and the elderly [1]Source: World Health Organization (WHO) -- Home Care — World Health Organization. However, going to the hospital may be necessary. Safe transport is essential for check-ups, tests, or emergencies. This is where private ambulance comes into play.

Comfort and Trust for Planned Transports

It is difficult to transport a bedridden or mobility-impaired patient with a normal vehicle. Patient Transport Ambulances are designed for this process.

• Safe Transport: Trained health personnel take the patient from their bed and transport them safely with a stretcher to the ambulance and the relevant unit in the hospital [3]Source: European Resuscitation Council (ERC) — European Resuscitation Council.
• Medical Supervision: The patient's basic vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, etc.) are monitored throughout the journey [2]Source: American Heart Association (AHA) -- Emergency Medical Services — American Heart Association, and preparations are made for any negativity.
• Comfort: Ambulances have suitable suspension and bed systems for the patient to travel comfortably without shaking [2]Source: American Heart Association (AHA) -- Emergency Medical Services — American Heart Association.

Rapid Intervention in Emergencies

The condition of a patient followed at home can deteriorate suddenly [1]Source: World Health Organization (WHO) -- Home Care — World Health Organization. Besides 112, private ambulances can also intervene quickly. Emergency Aid Ambulances perform the first intervention at home with doctor-led and fully equipped teams [3]Source: European Resuscitation Council (ERC) — European Resuscitation Council and transport to the most suitable hospital.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to get ambulance support from the same company while receiving home care service?

Although not mandatory, choosing an ambulance company that works in coordination with the team following your home care process makes the process easier. In this way, medical information is shared faster and transport planning is done more healthily.

Is there a difference between calling an ambulance for an appointment and calling for an emergency?

In planned appointments, the date and time are determined in advance, the route and companion arrangement are adjusted accordingly. In an emergency, 112 or Nova Ambulans can be preferred. If you want to go to a private hospital, Nova Ambulans will offer you a more flexible solution.

Note: Private hospitals may have the right not to accept patients in case of capacity or equipment insufficiency. In this case, Nova Ambulans finds an alternative private hospital or transports the patient to the nearest public hospital.

What information should I keep ready for my patient followed at home?

Diagnoses, last epicrisis, medication list, allergies, and important events experienced before (intensive care hospitalization, heart attack, etc.) should be collected in a single file. Sharing this file with both the home care team and the ambulance team helps make emergency decisions more accurately.
