    Step by step

    How this works

    1. 1What can be delivered at home

      Care is delivered at home only when the assessment, professional scope and home environment make it safe and appropriate.

    2. 2The home assessment

      An assessor reviews the person’s needs, home, routines and risks, then confirms the care plan, professionals and hours required.

    3. 3Medication

      A nurse can administer prescribed medicines and maintain the medication record within the agreed care plan and professional scope.

    4. 4What is recorded during care

      Managed care is recorded against the care plan and reviewed when needs, risks or circumstances change.

    5. 5How our professionals are vetted

      We check identity, qualifications, registration where required, references and competency before deployment.

    6. 6Escalation and the emergency boundary

      Staff follow a documented escalation process, but emergencies must go directly to the emergency services.

    7. 7How pricing works

      The assessment is fixed-price; defined services use published prices, live-in care has a from price, and other ongoing and package care is quoted after assessment.

    8. 8Where we work

      We confirm professional availability and a safe start date in Lagos, Abuja/FCT, Ogun or Ibadan/Oyo after reviewing the request.

    If it is an emergency, do not message us first.Call 112 or Lagos State emergency 767. Then tell your Medic Connect coordinator.
