The elderly population is growing at an alarming rate in both developed and underdeveloped countries, with Asia exhibiting the fastest-aging population. According to the Global Age Watch Index, the proportion of older people in Pakistan is expected to double to 12% by 2050, with approximately 40 million people aged over 60 [1].
This rising elderly population highlights the significance and need for healthcare providers for individuals requiring rehabilitation services in the upcoming years.
A majority of this elderly population have one or more chronic illnesses like hypertension, diabetes, and heart diseases and are vulnerable to disabilities. As a result, the need for a caregiver to maintain and improve the quality and function of their lives becomes crucial.
It can be hard to accept, but as people get older, their circumstances change, making it increasingly difficult for them to get around or take care of themselves. If you have an aging person at home and the idea of moving to an assisted living facility, a retirement community, or a nursing home doesn’t appeal, then you need home care services.
We at Chughtai Lab, take pride in offering the best-in-class health care at home services in Pakistan based on a weak infrastructure and a lack of rehabilitation and residential facilities for the older population in the country.
In this blog, you’ll explore the types of home care services we offer and why or how to opt for these services.

Why should you opt for home care services for your loved ones?
Provides High-Quality Care
In-home caregivers are trained professionals to provide your loved ones with the level of care they need. Whether your loved one needs help with basic tasks like grooming and feeding or needs assistance with dressings, injections, physiotherapy, or medical monitoring, the caregiver is certified, and licensed to deliver all these responsibilities.
Cost-effectiveness
Senior living communities and care homes can be very expensive and can burden the patient and their family.
However, on the other hand, home care services allow you to have the best possible care for your loved one within the comfort of their home and at a much more affordable price. Home care services tend to charge by the hour, which means you will only have to pay for the amount of time the services were rendered.
Ensures Safety
Having someone to look after an aging loved one can be invaluable, as it offers insights into their mental and physical well-being. For example, in case any change occurs, the caregiver will alert family members promptly and will be present in the event of emergencies for immediate medical intervention if needed.
Customized Care
Care in a senior living community or a care home is not always specifically customized to the needs of each patient. On the other hand, home care can be as tailored as you need it to be.
Whatever type and amount of support your loved ones require, or whatever their needs are, in-home care services can adjust to meet their needs.
It will facilitate your loved ones to develop a close, strong, and genuine relationship with their carer, and as a result, they will feel more nurtured, safe, and comforted.
Relieves Family Stress
With life going on, we have so many responsibilities and chores that can impact our attention and care for an old person, and providing care for them can become stressful at times.
Therefore, having in-home care helps alleviate stress for families allowing them to have peace of mind, knowing their loved ones are being cared for by qualified professionals [2].
Enhances Quality of Life
Home care services can help offer mental and emotional stimulation by providing seniors with the chance to share their thoughts, feelings, and memories. Caregivers can also engage these individuals in activities that are designed and proven to boost cognitive health.
