Support from a Medical Care Assistant

In-home care with safety, comfort and professional support.

Satélite Familiar's Medical Care Assistant support service was created to provide professional, continuous and humane assistance to people who need help with their daily routines — whether due to age, illness, surgery, functional limitation, clinical recovery, or temporary or long-term dependency.

We deliver in-home care focused on the client's safety, comfort and quality of life, always promoting their autonomy, dignity and well-being. Each care plan is defined individually, taking into account the clinical condition, the family context, the level of dependency and each person's specific needs.

More than ensuring a presence, our goal is to bring peace of mind to the family and to guarantee that the client receives the right support, at the right moment, from experienced professionals prepared to handle different health and well-being situations.

When should you hire a Medical Care Assistant?

Support from a Medical Care Assistant may be appropriate at various stages of life, especially when there is a need for help with daily living activities, supervision, monitoring, companionship or assistance during periods of greater fragility.

This service is particularly recommended for:

  • Older people who need daily support
  • People with reduced mobility
  • Clients recovering after a hospital stay
  • Post-operative situations
  • People with chronic or degenerative diseases
  • Clients at risk of falls or in need of supervision
  • Dependent or partially dependent people
  • Families who need professional support to ensure continuity of care
  • Clients who need accompaniment to appointments, exams or treatments

At Satélite Familiar, support is always tailored to each client's reality and may be occasional, regular, daytime, night-time or permanent, including 24-hour-a-day support whenever needed.

Support for older and dependent people

The support service for older and dependent people aims above all to ensure a safer, more comfortable and accompanied routine, always respecting each client's individuality.

Our Medical Care Assistants provide help with essential everyday activities, promoting the physical and emotional well-being of the person being cared for. The intervention is carried out with care, respect and discretion, seeking to preserve autonomy whenever possible.

This support may include:

  • Help with hygiene and comfort
  • Support with dressing and undressing
  • Assistance with eating
  • Simple meal preparation
  • Support with mobility and transfers
  • Supervision during the day or at night
  • Companionship and routine organisation
  • Fall prevention
  • Monitoring of changes in the general condition
  • Coordination with family members and health professionals

Accompaniment to appointments, exams and treatments

Satélite Familiar also provides accompaniment to medical appointments, exams and treatments, allowing the client to travel with greater safety, comfort and peace of mind.

This service is especially useful for families who, for professional, geographical or personal reasons, cannot always accompany their relative in person. The Medical Care Assistant can help with travel, accompany the client throughout the process and, where applicable, share the main information about the appointment, exam or treatment with the family.

In this way, we ensure close, responsible and humane support, reducing the stress associated with travel and promoting greater safety at important moments.
