IV Therapy & Wellness Drips – Portea (Home IV Services)

About this package

Portea’s nurse-at-home care is designed for people who need professional treatment in a private, comfortable setting. It’s ideal for elderly individuals, children, post-surgical patients, and those with chronic conditions who require medical support at home. Before booking, patients must complete a one-on-one consultation with their doctor to get a valid prescription. A certified nurse then visits your home with clean medical supplies and ensures the process is smooth and safe. Each visit typically lasts 15–30 minutes depending on the treatment. This service is best suited for people who are stable and cleared for home care. It’s not recommended for anyone with serious health issues that need hospital supervision—like high fever, active infections, or any condition where home treatment could cause complications. If you're unsure, talk to your doctor first.
