Abstract;Home care can be divided into simple assistance and medical treatment. Home medical treatment can then be classified into treatment of benign diseases such as cerebrovascular or chronic obstructive pulonary diseases and therapy against malignant diseases such as cancer. Checking the availability of social support systems that can complement shortcomings of involved parties is essential before introduction of terminal home care. Exploiting the available resources at each patient's home to their advantage is necessary.
