Care at home as an alternative to a care home

Care home at home

When the family wants to care at home, but needs to do it more safely

A comprehensive care model so your loved one can receive clinical support, coordination and follow-up in their usual environment, without the family having to organise everything alone.

Tell us about the situation

Who it is for

For families who want to keep care at home without doing it alone

Some families are not ready to move their loved one into a care home, but feel that caring at home has become too complex to organise without help.

Humana helps assess whether home can continue to be a suitable environment and what support would be needed to provide care with more order, safety and continuity.

Situations you may recognise

When caring at home starts to need more structure

You want to keep care at home, but it is becoming harder to organise

The patient’s needs are increasing and the family begins to feel that goodwill or occasional help is no longer enough.

There is a caregiver, but coordination is missing

The caregiver supports much of daily life, but needs clear guidance, follow-up and a clinical point of reference to avoid acting blindly.

The family wonders whether home is still enough

It is not always clear whether home can continue to be the best place. Sometimes a professional assessment is needed to decide with greater peace of mind.

You need more safety without losing the family environment

The goal is to provide better care at home, keeping the closeness of the usual environment while adding structure when the case requires it.

You live far away and cannot supervise daily care

Distance creates uncertainty. You need a trusted team close to the patient, able to coordinate professionals and keep you clearly informed.

What Humana brings

We help make care at home safer, more organised and more sustainable

Keeping someone at home when their needs increase requires much more than goodwill. It requires organisation, coordination and a clear view of how their needs are evolving.

Humana helps structure care so that the family, caregiver and professionals involved work in the same direction.

  • Assessment of whether home can safely support the case
  • Coordination between family, caregiver and professionals involved
  • Follow-up of the patient’s clinical and functional evolution
  • Early identification of new support needs
  • Greater peace of mind when making complex decisions with professional judgement

How we begin

First we understand the situation. Then we define the next steps.

We do not ask families to decide what the patient needs. We start by understanding the situation to assess whether home can continue to be the right environment and what support would be needed.

01

You tell us what is happening

We listen to the patient’s situation, how care is currently organised and what the family’s main concerns are.

02

We carry out an initial assessment

We analyse the medical, functional and family situation to understand what the patient really needs and what resources are available at home.

03

We define a roadmap

If home can safely support the case, we propose a follow-up approach adapted to the real needs of the patient and the family.

If, after the assessment, we believe home is no longer the best option, we will tell you honestly.

Initial assessment · €150

The initial home-based clinical assessment allows us to understand the patient’s medical, functional and family situation before recommending any further steps.

Frequently asked questions

What matters before keeping care at home

When does it make sense to consider Care Home at Home?

When the family wants to keep care at home, but feels that the situation needs more structure, coordination and professional follow-up.

Is it an alternative to a care home?

It can be in some cases. Humana helps assess whether home can continue to be a suitable environment and what support would be needed to provide care safely.

Can it help even if we already have a caregiver?

Yes. For us, the caregiver — whether family or professional — is the first level of healthcare. Humana does not come to replace them, but to support them with clinical direction, follow-up and coordination.

What happens if home is no longer the best option?

If, after the assessment, we see that home cannot safely support the case, we will also say so honestly so that the family can make decisions with professional judgement.

Which professionals may be involved?

It depends on each case. Follow-up may include medicine, nursing, physiotherapy and other specialised support if the situation requires it.

Does the initial assessment require follow-up care?

No. The assessment helps understand the situation and provides professional guidance. Afterwards, the family is free to decide how they wish to continue.

What does the initial assessment include?

It includes a review of the patient’s medical, functional and family situation, the identification of risks and a personalised recommendation for the next steps.

Can it help if we live far away or outside Spain?

Yes. Humana can help coordinate care at home when the family lives in another city or another country. The goal is for the patient to have a close point of reference and for the family to receive clear information about their evolution.
