Proposta de otimização de visitas domiciliares para reabilitação de idoso acamado

Abstract

The advance of the survival of the population carries the chronicity of some diseases, and home visit aims a better control of comorbidities that affect patients. Some of these diseases reduce the mobility of the patient and because of this we tried to improve home visits to reduce the restriction of the elderly and propagate knowledge of how family, neighbors and health professionals can become good caregivers and improve their quality of life. We formed a group in the Primary Care Unit with the Family Health Program team and the Support Family Health Core to optimize these visits. We achieved a significant improvement in quality of life for the caregivers and the patients as compared to past years. The continuity of the program will provide gains throughout the community.
