IN-HOME PRIMARY
CARE SERVICES
We Bring the Doctor's Office to YOU
With Patriot Healthcare’s in-home primary care services, you will receive the same service you would expect from a standard primary care practice – but in the comfort of your own home.
While these services are typically tailored for elderly patients, those with chronic conditions, or individuals with limited mobility who find it difficult to visit a clinic or hospital may also be eligible.
Medical Assessments and Examinations
Skilled nurses conduct comprehensive physical exams, review medical histories, and assess overall health in the comfort of a patient’s home.
Chronic Disease Management
Patients with conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or COPD can receive ongoing care, medication management, and routine monitoring.
Post-Hospitalization Care
For those recently discharged from the hospital, in-home visits can help with recovery and reduce the likelihood of readmission.
Geriatric Care
In-home services are particularly beneficial for elderly patients, providing everything from routine check-ups to end-of-life care.
Lab Work and Diagnostics
Some in-home services include lab tests (such as blood draws) and basic diagnostics (such as EKGs), bringing more comprehensive care directly to the patient.
Medication Management

Care Coordination
