What is Home-Based Care?
Local churches train their volunteers in basic health care and then send them out to visit the sick and the dying in their homes. During their visits, Home-Based Care workers may clean a patient’s home, prepare a meal, spend time hugging, holding and talking with small children or hold a dying patient’s hand. Most importantly, Home-Based Care workers listen and pray with the sick and dying. No patient will ever have to die without knowing the love of Christ that compels a Home-Based Care worker to volunteer their time.
