Home Visits
Support When You Need It Most
At Riviera Medical Center, we understand the physical, administrative, and emotional complexities that home care entails. We offer personalized home visits in Houston to help individuals go through the most difficult times with care and support.
Home-Based Palliative Care
Riviera Medical Center offers palliative care at home in Houston for critical patients.
Palliative care at home refers to specialized medical care that helps patients improve their quality of life while dealing with critical conditions.
As the word suggests (‘to ease symptoms’), palliative care aims to reduce the intensity of symptoms and lessen physical and emotional discomfort. Home visits help those who need or want to do so in the comfort of their homes, rather than do it in a hospital environment.
Wound Care at Home
Some wounds heal better at home. A team of dedicated medical professionals accredited by Riviera Medical Center is prepared to care for your wounds at home should you suffer a serious accident.
Effective healing begins with understanding that a person is not their wounds. Our team at Riviera Medical Center offers home visits with professionals who design personalized healing plans for those in need, considering their specific needs.
Also, we know that communication is key, so our professionals are always open to discussing treatment and management with the patient, their loved ones, or their caregivers.
