Jaga-Me Mobile Medical & Home Care

Announced at MOH's COS Debate earlier this week, the MIC@Home programme will be made mainstream and offered as part of Hospitals' regular services. This shows the importance of home care in today's health system and the move to shift care beyond hospitals to home.

Jaga-Me is proud to be a partner of the MIC@Home pilot scheme and bringing the best possible home care to patients.

In this post by HCA Hospice, Mike had a different approach to death and palliative care than many others, remaining positive and celebrating her life before passing.

It is crucial to understand the importance of Palliative Care. At Jaga-Me, we believe in providing dignified and personalised care that best support our loved ones faced with serious illnesses

We are absolutely thrilled to share a customer review we recently received that affirmed our commitment to the high standards we require of our JagaPros. Great work, Loewi!

Are you ready for the festive snacking? Pineapple tarts, bak kwa and other snacks are calling! But before you indulge, let's think about what it takes to balance those delicious treats. 🍍🥮🥩

While they might be delicious, these treats also tend to be high in calories so check out how much exercise is typically needed to burn it off!

Remember: moderation is key! Enjoy them but remember to balance it out with some physical activity. 🏃‍♂️💨

🌟 Here's to a joyful and healthy Lunar New Year! May your year be filled with happiness, health, and delicious moments! 🎊

We know the signs of caregiver burnout, but why is it common that this stress occurs? Caregivers have to deal with many issues, all contributing to the situation.
We share with you some of the main and more common reasons for caregiver stress.

For the second post, let's shine a light on the signs of caregiver stress and burnout. Sometimes, the situation might not go as planned or it might be difficult to perform your role optimally.

🌍 World Diabetes Day: Know the Facts, Take Action! 🩺💙

Today marks World Diabetes Day, where we shine a spotlight and spread awareness about this global challenge. Usually known as the “silent killer”, the symptoms of diabetes are easily missed and usually only diagnosed when complications arise.

Awareness is key to prevention and management of diabetes. Once we understand the risks, recognise the signs, and start taking proactive measures for a healthier future, we can beat the disease. Together, let's spread knowledge and support those living with diabetes.

🍎💪🌍

Wishing all a happy and healthy Deepavali!
May your days be abundant with light and joy.

On behalf of Alliance Healthcare Group and the Jaga-Me team, we would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Roche Singapore on their jubilant 50th-anniversary milestone.

Did you know that not all wounds will heal quickly? Certain factors such as diabetes, infection or other diseases can cause wounds to heal very slowly.

These wounds which do not heal within a certain amount of time are called chronic wounds and require proper care and management to promote healing and prevent infections.

Jaga-Me provides home wound care services where our nurses can perform wound care procedures such as wound assessment, cleaning and treatment plan creation at your convenience and location. If you require professional wound care at home, visit http://my.jaga-me.com/register to book your appointment today!

We are absolutely thrilled to share a customer review we recently received that affirmed our commitment to the high standards we require of our nurses. Great work, Siti!

At Jaga-Me, we ensure that all our staff are professional and well-equipped with the required knowledge so we can provide the right care, in the right setting for our patients.

Did you know that when patients have difficulties in swallowing due to certain conditions, a Nasogastric Tube (NGT), or feeding tube, can be used to deliver food or medicines into the stomach.

It is appropriate for use with liquid-based foods, such as milk feeds, barley water, juices, blended food and crushed medicines. The tube can also be used to suction out stomach contents to relieve pressure.

Commonly requiring a hospital or polyclinic visit to change or manage, now you can get NGT procedures done by our nurses at the convenience of your homes with the utmost care and professionalism.

The haze season is here and it is essential to be mindful of the air quality to stay healthy. Before engaging in any immediate outdoor activity, check the 1-hour PM2.5 readings and adjust your outdoor activity level as recommended in the chart to protect yourself and your loved ones.

If air quality is in the hazardous range and outdoor activity is necessary, you may consider wearing an N95 mask to reduce exposure to harmful particles in the air.

Let's spread awareness and prioritise our health during the haze season. Together, we can navigate this challenging period while staying active and maintaining our well-being.

Today is World Mental Health Day, dedicated to raising global awareness and fostering support for mental health.

Caregiving can be a rewarding journey, but dealing with the demands can be challenging. As a caregiver, it is normal to find yourself stressed by the situation sometimes, especially if things are not going to plan or there are other pressures. Thus, it is important to take care of yourself both physically or mentally to prevent caregiver burnout or stress.

If you need help to manage or to take a break for yourself, there are short-term, temporary care options that you can count on such as engaging a caregiving service to assist with your duties.

Jaga-Me provides home nursing services where our nurses can assist you with Intravenous (IV) infusion therapy at your convenience and location.

Intravenous (IV) infusion is a medical procedure that can help provide your body with fluids, medicine, nutrients, minerals or other solutions it may need. With IV infusion, the fluids that are inserted go directly into your bloodstream through your veins. This ensures that your body rapidly absorbs and receives the treatment it needs.
