About us

Specialist care, with the closeness of people who know your home

Oeste Med Assist began with something social and health professionals see every day: access to healthcare, especially primary care, is still difficult for many families.

We believe caring at home goes beyond treatment. Alongside clinical safety, home brings comfort, convenience and care shaped around each person's needs and preferences, and those of their carers, formal or informal.

We are a multidisciplinary team dedicated to care at home, bringing together doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, social workers and social educators.

We work alongside home support companies and IPSS institutions, linking health care with everyday support. Our network of professionals keeps growing, driven by the wish to serve patients and their families.

  • Shared records

    Visits are recorded on a care platform that can be shared with the family and the treating doctor.

Common questions, answered plainly

Four questions families ask us every week. Each answer ends at the service that solves it, so you do not waste time searching.

  • How much does a home nurse cost?

    The price of a nursing visit depends on what is done, not only on how long it takes. Here is what makes up the cost and what to ask before agreeing.

  • What should happen in the first days after hospital discharge?

    The week after discharge is the most fragile. A clear plan prevents emergency visits, medication errors and sleepless nights.

  • How do you request home support and what is available?

    There is social support, private support and subsidies that depend on the municipality and the level of dependency. The first step is an assessment.

  • When does physiotherapy at home make sense?

    Not all rehabilitation needs a gym. Sometimes training at home works better, because it is where the person will live.
