Visit Georgia Department of Community HealthPlain-language explanations of the care we provide, plus trusted places to find more help.
Below is what each of our services means in everyday words. If you are not sure which one fits, call us and we will help you decide. There is no cost to ask.
Someone comes to your home to help with daily life. That can mean help getting dressed, bathing, using the bathroom, moving safely around the house, preparing meals, light housekeeping, or reminders to take medicine.
This is for you if: you can stay at home, but doing things alone has become hard or unsafe.
A licensed nurse gives medical care in your home. That can include caring for wounds, giving injections or IV medicine, checking blood pressure and other vital signs, managing conditions like diabetes, and watching for problems after a hospital stay.
This is for you if: you need care that only a trained nurse can give, but you would rather be at home than in a facility.
A trained aide helps with personal care and everyday tasks. Aides work under the supervision of a Registered Nurse, who checks in regularly to make sure the care is right for you.
This is for you if: you need steady, hands-on help but not medical treatment.
Someone stays with you for company and safety. They can talk with you, play games, read aloud, go along on walks or errands, and be there so you are not alone. They can also give a family caregiver a much-needed break.
This is for you if: being alone feels unsafe or lonely, or a family member needs time to rest.
We teach people who want to work in health care, or who care for a family member at home. Our classes include CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) training, CPR and First Aid, Infection Control, and exam review sessions.
This is for you if: you want to start a career in care, or you want to learn to look after someone safely at home.
At our John-Florence Clinic & Lab in Yaba, Lagos, you can see a clinician in person. We treat long-term conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, and short-term illnesses such as malaria, typhoid, and infections. We also clean and dress wounds, give medicines and IV treatment, and run laboratory tests on site.
This is for you if: you are in or near Lagos and need medical care or testing. Walk-ins are welcome, and you may call ahead.
Many people begin with a free conversation. We listen, ask a few questions, and explain your options. Nothing is decided that day, and there is no pressure.
