Home Care Services Specialist

What are home care services?

Home care services are available for your convenience if making a trip to the office for medical testing or care isn’t possible or inconvenient. The team at South Texas Family Medicine and Urgent Care Center travels to you to offer testing or help with your transition into or out of the hospital. 

Many of the services at South Texas Family Medicine and Urgent Care Center are available as home care services. If you or a loved one could benefit from having your providers come to you instead of traveling to the office, the team at South Texas Family Medicine and Urgent Care Center is happy to make the arrangements for you. 

Which home care services do I need?

To make your chronic or acute care convenient, the team at South Texas Family Medicine and Urgent Care Center offers the following services:

Physical examinations

Physical exams are routine tests that provide a basic overview of your health and wellness. The team at South Texas Family Medicine and Urgent Care Center can come to your home to offer an annual physical or a physical for other purposes, like employment or sports participation. 

Lab services

Lab services, like blood testing and urinalysis, are also available as a home service. The team can draw your blood, take a swab, or collect your urine sample for diagnostic testing in a lab. 

X-ray imaging

X-ray imaging is a diagnostic test that can assess the inside of your body, such as your chest or abdomen. It uses electromagnetic waves to produce a black and gray image of your bones and tissues.

Electrocardiogram (EKG)

An EKG is a test that records your heartbeat. It produces a graph that shows the electrical activity in your heart. 

Who can benefit from home care services?

There are many reasons why you may want to consider home care services instead of coming to the office. You might benefit from home care services if you:

• Are immobile
• Are elderly
• Are recovering from surgery
• Need regular monitoring for a chronic disease
• Have a contagious illness
• Want to avoid infection or transmission by coming into the office

If you’re not sure whether you should opt for home care, the team at South Texas Family Medicine and Urgent Care Center can help you weigh your options in the context of your personal health.
