If you’re wondering how to access home care services in South Africa, you’ve come to the right place. Ambition 24hours provides regulated home-based care services you can trust.
Caring for our elderly, chronically ill and injured family members in South Africa is an ongoing challenge. Many of our public hospitals and facilities lack the infrastructure and funding to take on additional residents. Private hospitals and institutions often have high fee structures which are unmanageable for regular South Africans.
Private care at home is a suitable solution which provides comfort, support and assistance to your family members at fair prices.

What is the purpose of home-based care?
The main purpose of Home-based care is to provide a high level of care to patients in need, while keeping them in their familiar surroundings, and intimately aiding their recovery and comfort.
There are several reasons to consider home based care, these are generally categorized as follows:
Therapeutic Care: For example, children suffering from learning disabilities, such as autism, Down syndrome and other genetic disorders benefit from this one-on-one type of care.
Promotive Care: Elderly people also enjoy the attention, and focus on their daily activities, and therefore home care is a reliable means of caring for your elderly loved ones and gaining them a bit more independence.
Rehabilitative Care: We are able to offer short-term placements to assist patients who are injured or recovering from surgery or an illness.
And Preventative Care: This would be in cases where patients suffer mental health disorders or conditions which may make them more prone to injury.
Home Care versus Nursing Home?
When considering the best care path for your loved ones, this is a challenging question, as the level of care is an ongoing concern.
The main benefits of care at home are the fact that you, as a resident sharing communal spaces, can monitor the situation and quickly address issues which arise. Whereas in a care home, you are separated from your loved one, and often left to wonder if they are receiving the care they need.
Another benefit is home care provides the patient with the comfort of a familiar environment, with positive memories. This aids in the recovery or comfort of the patient, where live-in nursing homes and facilities may have a very clinical feel to them and may induce more anxiety than relief to your loved ones. The decision is ultimately yours to make, depending on your specific needs.
