Home nursing
Skilled nursing visits for patients who need ongoing care but are more comfortable at home.
Home Cancer Care
Supportive oncology care, closer to home.
Bringing supportive oncology services closer to patients through personalized home-based care — for those who find frequent travel to the clinic difficult.
Services
What can be provided at home.
Home care complements — and does not replace — treatment at the clinic or hospital. Which services are appropriate is decided with the treating team.
Injection administration
Prescribed injections and supportive medications administered at home by trained nursing staff.
Symptom monitoring
Structured tracking of pain, nutrition, treatment side effects and warning signs, reported back to the treating team.
Palliative care support
Comfort-focused care for patients with advanced illness, coordinated with the treating oncologist.
Follow-up care
Post-treatment check-ins, wound and catheter care, and help keeping the care plan on track between visits.
Sample collection
Blood and other routine samples collected at home and sent to accredited laboratories, avoiding unnecessary travel.

After advanced therapy
Home support in the later phase of recovery.
Patients who have received an advanced therapy such as CAR-T are monitored intensively by the treating cellular-therapy team in the early period after infusion — that phase is not managed at home.
Later in recovery, and only when the treating team agrees it is safe, home support such as nursing visits, symptom monitoring, sample collection and follow-up care may complement specialist follow-up. Any fever, confusion or rapid deterioration after cellular therapy needs urgent hospital assessment, not a home visit.

Questions people ask about home cancer care
Depending on the clinical situation: home nursing, administration of prescribed injections, symptom monitoring, palliative care support, follow-up care and sample collection for laboratory testing.
No. Home care is supportive. Chemotherapy, immunotherapy and other infusion treatments are given in the day care centre or hospital, not at home.
After a request, the treating team reviews which services are safe and appropriate for the patient at home. Visits are then scheduled, and observations are reported back to the treating team.
Samples collected at home are sent to accredited partner laboratories, and the reports are shared with the treating team.
Coverage depends on location and the type of support required. Contact the institute with the patient's location and needs, and the team will confirm what can be arranged.

Cancer Survivorship & Long-Term Health
Cancer care does not necessarily end when active treatment finishes. Survivorship care may address long-term treatment effects, cardiovascular and metabolic health, bone health, nutrition, function and appropriate cancer surveillance. It works alongside the follow-up arranged by the treating team.
