    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. 4How our professionals are vetted

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

    5. 5Escalation and the emergency boundary

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

    6. 6How 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.

    7. 7Where 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.
