MARBELLA’S Quirónsalud Hospital has launched a new Home Care Unit which provides healthcare from the comfort of the patient’s home.
The initiative is designed to reduce unnecessary travel for patients, particularly in cases where treatment can be delivered safely at home.
Patients with chronic diseases, elderly patients and those with reduced mobility, in particular, can benefit from the scheme.
Those awaiting operations can also receive pre-operative care from home and once they are operated on, the initiative offers post-operative care, supporting patients in their recovery after hospital discharge. According to Alejandro Rodríguez, Nursing Director at Hospital Quirónsalud Marbella, “This service responds to the need to support patients who require structured, coordinated, and safe care at home. Home-based care avoids unnecessary travel and allows part of the healthcare process to take place in a more comfortable and accessible environment for them”.

Services Available at Home
Quironsalud’s Home Care Unit also carries out tests at home including blood tests and heart health tests.
It also carries out post-operative care at home, including removing stitches, checking for infections and support in pain management.
Additionally, patients with more complex needs are supported, including those who require wound draining, catheter changes, or specialist-prescribed treatments.
All treatments are recorded in the patient’s electronic medical record, ensuring coordinated follow?up among all healthcare professionals involved in a patient’s care. Rodriguez adds: “The integration into the medical record ensures that care teams always work with updated information, reinforcing the patient’s safety and the cohesion of their treatment at all times”.
