Home Visits

When do you need a home visit? 

Sometimes, leaving home for medical care presents too many obstacles. Home visits help in situations like:

• Recent surgery with driving restrictions still in place
• Mobility problems that make traveling exhausting or painful
• Multiple health conditions that leave you with little energy
• Taking care of family members unable to travel to appointments
• Severe weather making roads dangerous
• Work schedules that conflict with office hours

Amanda and her team bring their medical equipment to you, eliminating travel stress and waiting room hassles.

What happens during a home visit? 

When the team arrives with portable medical equipment for complete evaluations, they check vital signs, refer out for lab work, and perform physical examinations in comfort. Amanda reviews medications, discusses symptoms, and updates treatment plans like a regular office visit.

Home visits often reveal essential information. Seeing your actual living environment helps identify safety risks, medication storage issues, or family dynamics affecting your health. Many patients are more relaxed and open at home, leading to better conversations about their care.

What services can you provide at home? 

Most services available in the office work just as well at home:

• Routine checkups
• Chronic disease management
• Post-surgery follow-up care
• Wound care and dressing changes
• Lab work referrals
• Medication reviews and adjustments
• Diet and lifestyle assessments
• Physical therapy coordination

For procedures requiring specialized equipment, Amanda coordinates with imaging centers or specialist offices for follow-up visits.

Who benefits most from home visits? 

Home visits work well for certain groups of people. These include:

• Elderly patients who find traveling exhausting or confusing
• People managing multiple health conditions at once
• Family caregivers trying to coordinate care for several members
• Parents balancing work schedules with kids’ school activities

Many families discover that home visits save time. Instead of arranging transportation, coordinating multiple appointments, and managing waiting room chaos, they handle everything from their kitchen table.

Home visits allow you to get the care you deserve even if you can’t leave home. Contact Altamont Family Health & Integrative Medicine to schedule your visit or book online. Experience personalized care in the comfort of your own space.
