    One-off, before care starts

    The home assessment

    ₦35,000

    A care coordinator visits once, before any care begins, to understand the needs and the home and agree the care plan with you. It is separate from the price of the care itself.


    Step by step

    How this works

    1. 1Postnatal care and Omugwo

      The assessment separates clinical mother-and-baby care from broader Omugwo, night, meal and household support.

    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. 3Shifts, handover and supervision

      A rostered team covers the agreed hours, records each shift and gives a structured handover to the next professional.

    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.
