What Is Palliative Care at Home?

Favicon

Palliative care at home is medical care that relieves the pain and stress of serious illness, delivered by licensed doctors and nurses in the patient’s own home.

The World Health Organization defines palliative care as an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and families facing life-threatening illness. It relieves physical symptoms such as pain and psychological distress such as anxiety, tension, and depression. The care covers physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs at every stage of the illness. Palliative care does not mean stopping treatment — it can run alongside curative care. Call Doctor Now delivers this support at home in Dubai through DHA-licensed doctors and nurses.

Why Choose Us

Why Families Choose Palliative Care at Home

Favicon
Home palliative care delivers three core benefits: expert symptom relief, the comfort of familiar surroundings, and structured support for the whole family.

Expert Pain and Symptom Management

DHA-licensed nurses assess and treat pain at home. Symptom control improves quality of life during serious illness. Patients stay comfortable without repeated hospital admissions.

Care in the Comfort of Your Own Home

Home care removes the stress of travel and unfamiliar wards. Patients rest in their own bed, surrounded by family. Scheduled visits fit around your household routine.

Holistic Support That Includes Families

The WHO definition of palliative care covers patients and their families. Our team explains the illness in clear terms and guides daily care decisions. Families receive practical instruction on medication, feeding, and comfort measures at home.

Who Needs Palliative Care at Home?

Favicon

Palliative care at home suits anyone living with a serious or advanced illness, not only patients in their final weeks, and begins as early as diagnosis.

WHO estimates that 56.8 million people need palliative care each year, yet only around 14% receive it. Cardiovascular disease accounts for the largest share of that need at 38.5%, followed by cancer at 34% and chronic respiratory disease at 10.3%. Palliative care at home commonly supports patients with:

  • Cancer — pain control, nausea, fatigue, and support during or after chemotherapy
  • Heart failure and cardiovascular disease — breathlessness, fluid monitoring, and medication management
  • Chronic respiratory disease (COPD)—breathlessness relief and oxygen support
  • Kidney failure — symptom relief alongside or instead of dialysis
  • Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease — comfort, safety, and daily care as the condition advances
  • Advanced diabetes and other chronic illnesses — wound care, monitoring, and pain relief

Eligibility depends on symptom burden, not prognosis. A Call Doctor Now doctor assesses your relative at home and confirms whether palliative support fits their condition.

Our Palliative Care Services at Home

Favicon
Call Doctor Now’s Home Palliative Care covers six areas: symptom control, nursing care, emotional support, daily living assistance, care coordination, and caregiver relief.

Pain and Symptom Management

Advanced pain control sits at the center of palliative care. Our nurses assess and treat pain, nausea, fatigue, and breathlessness at home. Effective symptom relief maximizes comfort and reduces suffering during serious illness.

Medical and Nursing Care

DHA-licensed registered nurses handle the clinical side of home care. Services include medication administration, wound care, IV therapy, vital-sign monitoring, and home lab tests. Professional oversight keeps the patient stable without repeated hospital trips.

Emotional and Psychological Support

Serious illness affects the mind as much as the body. Our team supports patients through anxiety, tension, depression, and mental stress. Families receive the same attention, because the WHO definition of palliative care includes them. ⚠

Daily Living Assistance

Comfort depends on everyday care. Nurses assist with personal hygiene, mobility, and feeding. This support preserves dignity and independence in daily life.

Care Coordination

Palliative care works best when every provider stays aligned. We liaise with treating doctors, specialists, pharmacies, and family members. Coordinated communication prevents medication errors and duplicated appointments.

Respite Care for Family Caregivers

Caring for a seriously ill relative exhausts even devoted families. A nurse takes over for scheduled hours so the primary caregiver can rest. Regular relief prevents burnout and sustains the family's own health. Every service combines into one personalized care plan rather than separate bookings, delivered across 40+ Dubai areas, 24/7.

This is the second time I have used the Call Doctor Now service and I’m always consistently impressed. I live in another emirate, and so when I wasn’t feeling well on a work trip to Dubai I wasn’t sure where to go and didn’t really want to leave the hotel. The team from Call Doctor Now were with me super fast and helped me to feel better by the next morning, allowing me to return to my scheduled meetings. I was so impressed that on my next visit I scheduled a NAD drip and the team delivered the service in a friendly and professional way, even supporting me with follow up questions after the appointment. I would recommend them without hesitation, whether you are living in Dubai or just visiting. Fantastic company!

Needed a full blood panel done but didn't have time to sit in a lab waiting room. Booked Call Doctor Now since they work with a DHA-licensed laboratory in Dubai. The nurse came to my place in Dubai Marina, took the samples quickly, and the reports came through within 24 hours. Clean, professional, and properly accredited. Way easier than going to a clinic. Will definitely use them again.

Dr. Mohammed Jan is truly amazing — his filler work looks absolutely stunning and so natural. He has such a talented eye for beauty and detail, and the results are always gorgeous. Honestly one of the best when it comes to filler!

كان عندي ألم قوي جدًا بالرقبة وأسفل الظهر بسبب الجلوس طوال اليوم على المكتب. واحد من زملائي نصحني بعلاج تقويم العمود الفقري في دبي، فقررت أجرّب Call Doctor Now. أخصائي التقويم إجى لعندي على Jumeirah Lakes Towers، وعمل فحص وتقييم كامل، والجلسة عطتني راحة فورية. بعد 3 جلسات صار وضعي أحسن بكتير، والألم خفّ بشكل كبير. بصراحة ما كنت بعرف إنو في خدمة تقويم عمود فقري منزلية بدبي. أنصح فيها جدًا.

Was completely drained after weeks of nonstop work. Booked an IV drip at home with Call Doctor Now and the nurse came to my place in Jumeirah right on time. Felt so much better by the time she left, way more energy and a clear head. Will definitely book again.

Amazing experience with Call Doctor Now! Needed a pediatrician on call Dubai late at night when my son spiked a fever. The doctor was at our door in just 30 minutes, was so gentle with him, and explained everything clearly. Saved us a stressful ER trip. Highly recommend!

After my hip replacement surgery I couldn't move around much and going to the clinic was impossible. Called Call Doctor Now for post surgical care Dubai and they came the same day. The nurse was patient, professional, and the physiotherapist also started home sessions soon after. Honestly a complete recovery package, will recommend to anyone.
