The short answer
A patient carer at home provides non-medical support to a vulnerable person: reassuring presence, help with everyday tasks, monitoring and companionship, by day and by night. They do not perform any medical care — that is the role of a nurse. In Rabat, this service is for the elderly, patients recovering, and families who need relief in watching over a loved one. It naturally complements nursing care when medical acts are needed.
What a patient carer is (and is not)
A patient carer is a dedicated human presence beside someone who cannot be left alone. Their role is to accompany and reassure: keep company, help with daily tasks (meals, hydration, moving around the home, comfort hygiene), monitor the general condition and alert the family or caregivers when needed. Important point: a patient carer performs no medical care — no injections, no dressings, no drips. Those acts are reserved for a certified nurse. A patient carer and a home nurse are therefore two distinct, complementary services.
Who this service is for
A patient carer suits many situations: an elderly person who cannot be left alone, a patient recovering who needs continuous presence, a person with reduced mobility, or an exhausted family that needs relief to catch their breath. It brings peace of mind to the whole family: the loved one is supported with attention and kindness, in the comfort of home, while family caregivers can rest or resume their activities with confidence.
Day or night care: what to choose
The choice depends on your loved one’s routine and needs. Both options are available.
| Option | Ideal for | What it provides |
|---|---|---|
| Daytime care | People alone during the day | Company, meals, help moving around, monitoring |
| Night care | Risk of falls or anxiety at night | Reassuring presence, help to bed and up, night watch |
| Continuous presence | Situations of great fragility | Round-the-clock support through rotating carers |
