Daily care, provided with care
General care encompasses the basic nursing tasks that punctuate the daily routine of a dependent person: assistance with bathing and personal hygiene, changing and cleaning, pressure ulcer prevention and monitoring, vital sign checks, assistance with medication administration, simple wound dressings, oral care, and comfort care. Far from being secondary, these care tasks are essential to well-being, prevent complications from bed rest, and enable individuals to remain in their homes with dignity.
Who is this treatment intended for?
These services are designed for older adults who are losing their independence, bedridden or housebound patients, individuals recovering from hospitalization, and anyone who needs regular support that does not require extensive technical care. When the situation requires more than just a caregiver’s presence—such as extended monitoring or round-the-clock assistance—these services are combined with a home health aide, for continuous coverage.
Nurses who are part of a medical team
Since 2011, from its base in Bab Ezzouar, Magh Assistance has been working its nurses within an integrated facility, using a centralized patient record, under the supervision of a team of more than 120 physicians trained in Swiss protocols (Swissmedic standards). Even for basic care, this integration matters: a nurse who notices suspicious redness, loss of appetite, or confusion can immediately alert the doctor, who reviews the file and makes a decision. General care thus becomes a valuable observation post, not just routine.
Consistency, traceability, and trust
The quality of general care depends on consistency and a relationship built on trust. The same caregiver, or a small team, is familiar with the person’s routines; each visit is documented (skin condition, diet, mood, vital signs), making any changes easily visible. If specialized care becomes necessary, the team incorporates it without calling in a new caregiver; and if the patient’s condition worsens, a doctor provides assistance, with transportation by the company’s ambulances if necessary.
Rates and organization
A general care visit is billed at 1,500 to 3,000 DA depending on the duration and services provided. For daily or multiple-times-a-day visits, weekly or monthly flat rates offer a significant reduction in the per-visit cost. The quote is provided before the service is performed; details are available on the page rates.
Consistency: The Key to Staying in Your Own Home
Caring for a dependent person at home depends on the reliability of care visits: a missed visit increases the risk of pressure sores, malnutrition, or falls. By organizing regular, scheduled, and documented visits, the team creates a stable framework for the person and their family. This regularity, combined with a relationship of trust with a familiar caregiver, is often what makes it possible to delay—or even avoid—placement in a nursing home, while maintaining medical oversight of the person’s overall health.
Frequently asked questions
Can you schedule visits several times a day?
Yes: depending on your needs, daily or multiple daily visits are scheduled, with packages tailored to regular monitoring.
What is the difference between general care and nursing care?
General care refers to specific nursing procedures; home health care involves a continuous presence. The two are often combined to provide both care and monitoring.
Do I need a prescription?
Routine hygiene and comfort care does not require a prescription; medical procedures (such as medicated dressings and injections) are performed only with a prescription. If necessary, a home visit is arranged first.
