What services we offer at home in Sicily
Choose from different types of healthcare services
Specialist home doctor visits
The service is designed for people with mobility difficulties, frail patients, or those who want a specialist evaluation without waiting. The specialist doctor comes to your home for a complete visit, with the possibility of prescribing medications, requesting tests, and issuing medical certificates. Ideal for chronic patients, the elderly, post-operative patients, and those needing a consultation without going to a clinic.
Home nursing care
Injections, wound care, catheter management, therapies, blood draws and support for frail patients. Our qualified nurses perform scheduled or on-call services, with continuous access for chronic or bedridden patients. The service also includes medical device management and administration of therapies prescribed by the attending physician.
Home physiotherapy
Post-operative rehabilitation, trauma, musculoskeletal and neurological problems. Each session is personalized based on the patient's needs, with targeted exercises and manual techniques to recover motor function. The physiotherapist comes to your home with the necessary equipment, enabling continuous rehabilitation without travel.
Speech therapy and Psychology at home
Speech therapy support for language disorders in children and language rehabilitation in adults. Psychological support for anxiety, depression, stress and relationship difficulties. Home sessions offer a familiar environment that facilitates the therapeutic relationship, particularly useful for children, the elderly, and people with anxiety disorders who find it difficult to go to a clinic.
When to call a home doctor?
The home specialist doctor service allows you to receive specialist medical visits directly at home, throughout Sicily, avoiding travel and long waits at clinics. A qualified healthcare professional evaluates your symptoms, sets or updates your therapy, and follows you over time, ensuring personalized care and continuity of care in a familiar and safe environment.
In case of serious emergency (chest pain, difficulty breathing, major trauma, loss of consciousness) call 118 immediately or go to the nearest Emergency Room.
Where we operate in Sicily
We operate in all Sicilian provinces with a network of professionals distributed across the territory: Palermo, Catania, Messina, Siracusa, Trapani, Agrigento, Ragusa, Caltanissetta and Enna. Each province is covered by doctors, nurses and physiotherapists residing in the area, ensuring reduced response times especially in the main cities and towns like Bagheria, Acireale, Marsala, Gela, Vittoria, Sciacca and Taormina.
Arrival times vary based on distance and density of professionals in your area: in urban areas and large centers, the service is generally faster, while in inland and mountainous areas, more advance notice may be required. When you make a request, we always provide a personalized estimate of response times and availability in your area, so you can plan your visit without surprises.
Who can request a home doctor visit in Sicily?
The service is designed for seniors with mobility difficulties, chronic or recently discharged patients, families with young children, and anyone who prefers to receive healthcare in the comfort of their own home. For example, an elderly person with arthritis or mobility issues can receive the doctor directly at home without facing tiring trips, while a new mother can request a pediatric check-up for the newborn without exposing them to waiting room crowds.
Those who have undergone surgery or an injury that limits mobility can also benefit from follow-up visits and home wound care, as well as people with temporary conditions that prevent travel. The home doctor is the ideal solution for anyone wishing to receive professional healthcare without stress, waiting, or risk of exposure to hospital infections.

How quickly does the doctor arrive at home?
Arrival times depend on your area and the availability of professionals in your area. For urgent requests, we typically intervene within 1-2 hours. In the more populous provinces like Palermo, Catania and Messina, coverage is faster, while in inland areas times may be slightly longer. When booking, we always give you a precise estimate.
When should I call a home doctor instead of going to the emergency room?
The home doctor is the right choice for persistent fever, manageable illnesses at home, monitoring chronic conditions, wound care, and post-operative follow-up visits. You avoid Emergency Room queues and reduce the risk of exposure to hospital infections. In case of serious emergency — chest pain, difficulty breathing, major trauma, loss of consciousness — call 118 immediately or go to the nearest Emergency Room.
Do you offer visits in the evening and on weekends?
Yes, the home specialist doctor service is active 7 days a week, including holidays. Evening hours are available in many areas of Sicily, allowing those who work or have daytime commitments to receive healthcare at home without having to ask for time off or travel.
Can I receive a medical certificate during the home visit?
Yes, during the home visit, the doctor can issue medical certificates, pharmaceutical prescriptions and specialist prescriptions, just like in a clinic. The certificate has full legal validity and can be sent in digital or paper format, depending on your needs.
