House Calls Q&A

What difference can house calls make for my health?

Advanced Healthcare & Injury Center, LLC offers primary care services via house calls for several vital reasons, including:

Better access to care

You may have struggled to get the care you need due to common barriers like limited mobility, trouble getting a ride, or having to use up limited time off work. By bringing primary care to you, the team makes it easier to seek care early, reducing your risk of complications and emergency visits.

More personalized care

When care is delivered in your home, your provider gains a deeper understanding of your daily environment, lifestyle, and health challenges. This allows for more accurate assessments, customized treatment plans, and better medication management.

Better chronic disease management

If you have a chronic condition like diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, or chronic pain, you may especially benefit from regular, consistent follow-ups at home. It’s easier to control symptoms and stay on track with your treatment plan.

Less stress, more comfort

The familiar setting can lower your anxiety and improve communication, leading to better diagnoses and outcomes.

What conditions can benefit from house calls?

House calls can help with everything from acute issues to long-term care needs. Examples include:

High blood pressure (hypertension)
Diabetes management
Respiratory conditions (asthma, COPD)
Acute illnesses (cold, flu, infections)
Medication reviews and adjustments
Post-hospital discharge follow-ups
Preventive care and wellness exams
Geriatric care and age-related conditions
Back pain and neck pain
Sciatica and nerve-related pain
Joint stiffness and mobility issues
Headaches and migraines

If you have limited mobility, severe pain, or neurological conditions, house calls can help you avoid painful travel and receive treatment in a relaxed environment. In some cases, telehealth visits are also available.

What happens during a primary care house call?

Like an in-office visit, your house call starts with a review of your medical history, current symptoms, and medications. Your provider checks vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen levels as needed and can perform a physical exam and evaluation.

They can offer medical treatment or prescriptions and provide pain management strategies, including recommending exercises, stretches, or lifestyle changes that work with your environment. They’ll discuss next steps and can schedule follow-ups or referrals.
