Quality healthcare should fit your life, not the other way around. That is the promise behind home care services from HealthHub Clinics by Al-Futtaim. Our licensed doctors, nurses and physiotherapists come to you, anywhere in Dubai. You receive clinic-standard care in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
No traffic. No parking. No waiting room. Just expert care, delivered to your door. This complete guide answers the most common questions about our home care services in Dubai. It also explains our Homecare Well Woman and Well Man packages in detail. By the end, you will know exactly what to expect, how to prepare, and how to book.
Home care means receiving professional medical care at home instead of travelling to a clinic. A licensed doctor, nurse or therapist visits you at a time you choose. They bring the equipment and supplies needed for your visit. Home care covers a wide range of needs. It includes doctor consultations, nursing care, blood sample collection, IV therapy and physiotherapy. It also includes full preventive health checks, such as our Well Woman and Well Man packages.
Home care is not a lower standard of care. It is the same care, delivered in a different place. Research supports this. A major Cochrane review found that “hospital at home” care can be a safe and effective alternative for selected patients. Patients often report higher satisfaction and less stress when treated at home.
At HealthHub Clinics, every home visit is carried out by DHA-licensed professionals. Your care at home follows the same clinical standards we apply in our clinics across Dubai.
Dubai is a fast-paced city. Long working hours, school runs and busy schedules make clinic visits hard to plan. Home healthcare removes that barrier.
There are other reasons too. Dubai has a large community of families caring for elderly parents. Many residents recover from surgery at home and need follow-up care. New mothers often prefer support at home in the early weeks. And many people simply value privacy and comfort.
The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) regulates and licenses home healthcare providers. This gives residents confidence that home care meets clear safety and quality standards. Choosing a DHA-licensed provider, like HealthHub Clinics, means your care is held to those standards. Convenience should never come at the cost of quality. With regulated home care in Dubai, you get both.
We offer five core services at home, plus complete wellness packages:
On top of these, our Homecare Well Woman and Well Man packages bring a complete health check to your door. Each service is explained below.
A family medicine specialist is a doctor trained to care for the whole person, at every age. During a home visit, your doctor will listen to your concerns, take your history and examine you. It works just like a clinic consultation, only at your dining table or bedside.
Our family medicine doctors can assess and treat many common conditions at home, including:
Home visits are also valuable for ongoing care. Your doctor can review chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma and thyroid disorders. Good routine follow-up matters. The World Health Organization highlights that regular monitoring of chronic disease reduces complications over time.
Your doctor can prescribe medicines during the visit. They can also order blood tests, arrange a nurse follow-up, or refer you to a specialist within the HealthHub network. If your condition needs urgent hospital care, they will tell you clearly and guide your next step.
A home visit gives your doctor something a clinic cannot: context. Seeing your home environment can help with advice on falls prevention, diet, sleep and daily routines. For elderly patients especially, this makes care more personal and practical.
Our home nurses are the backbone of home care. They are DHA-licensed and experienced in caring for patients of all ages. A nurse visit can include:
Nurse visits are especially helpful after a hospital stay. Careful wound care lowers the risk of infection. Regular monitoring can catch problems early, before they become emergencies. Evidence shows that structured nursing follow-up after discharge supports safer recovery and can reduce hospital readmissions.
Every nurse visit is documented. Your doctor reviews the findings, so your care stays joined-up. If a nurse notices something concerning, a doctor is informed the same day.
Blood tests at home are simple, quick and accurate. Here is how the process works:
Common home blood tests include a complete blood count (CBC), cholesterol profile, blood sugar and HbA1c, thyroid function, vitamin D, vitamin B12, iron studies, and kidney and liver function tests.
Do I need to fast before a blood test? It depends on the test. Some tests, such as fasting glucose, need 8 to 12 hours without food. Water is usually fine. Many modern cholesterol tests no longer require fasting, based on current international guidance. Our team will give you clear instructions when you book. When in doubt, ask — we are happy to explain.
Are home blood tests as accurate as clinic tests? Yes. The collection method is identical. Our nurses follow strict protocols for labelling, storage and transport. Your samples are processed in the same accredited laboratories used by our clinics. Quality is protected from your door to the lab bench.
IV (intravenous) therapy delivers fluids, electrolytes, vitamins or prescribed medicines directly into the bloodstream through a small cannula. Because it bypasses the digestive system, it works quickly. It is a well-established medical treatment used in hospitals every day.
Experience professional IV therapy without leaving your home. HealthHub brings physician-led IV drip therapy directly to your home, hotel or office across Dubai. Our DHA-licensed healthcare professionals administer every infusion safely and comfortably, after a clinical assessment.
How fast can I get an IV drip at home in Dubai? In many cases, within 90 minutes.* Same-day appointments are also available. *Subject to availability and location.
Our physician-led IV service is designed for:
Choose from our menu of wellness infusions, all given after a doctor’s assessment:
Not sure which drip suits you? Our doctor will recommend the right option during your assessment — or advise against one if it is not right for you.
IV drips have become a lifestyle trend, but they remain a medical procedure. That is why we follow strict rules:
We are honest about the evidence, too. IV fluids are proven treatment for dehydration. Vitamin and nutrient infusions offer wellness support, and they help most when a genuine need or deficiency exists. Research on newer ingredients, such as NAD+, is still developing. If a simpler option would serve you better, our doctors will say so. Ethical care means recommending what you need — not what sells.
Physiotherapy helps you move better, hurt less and regain independence. Our licensed physiotherapists bring that expertise to your home. Home physiotherapy is ideal for:
Your first session starts with a full assessment. Your physiotherapist checks your movement, strength, balance and pain levels. Then they build a personal treatment plan. Sessions may include guided exercises, hands-on therapy, stretching and mobility training.
Home physiotherapy has a unique advantage: your therapist sees your real environment. They can adapt exercises to your actual stairs, chairs and floors. They can also spot trip hazards and suggest simple safety changes. For older adults, this matters. Exercise-based programmes are proven to reduce the risk of falls in people over 65.
The evidence is reassuring on outcomes as well. Systematic reviews comparing home-based and clinic-based rehabilitation show similar results for many conditions, including recovery after knee replacement. What matters most is doing the right exercises, consistently. A therapist at your home makes that easier.
Prevention is the quiet hero of good health. Many serious conditions — high cholesterol, high blood pressure, early diabetes, low vitamin D — cause no symptoms for years. By the time you feel something, the condition has often been building silently.
Screening changes that story. Finding high blood sugar early gives you years of advantage. Small changes in diet, activity and sometimes medication can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. The same is true for cholesterol and heart risk. Global health bodies, including the WHO, consistently recommend regular risk-factor screening for adults.
Dubai’s lifestyle adds a few local reasons to test:
A once-a-year check at home takes about an hour. It gives you a clear, personal baseline — and something priceless: time to act early.
At HealthHub Clinics, homecare women’s wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your health deserves more than a checklist. A woman’s health needs at 25 are different from her needs at 45 or 65. Hormones, energy, heart health and nutrition all shift over time.
That is why we created the Homecare Well Woman Packages: personalised, tiered health checks designed for every stage of life. Everything happens at home, from the doctor consultation to the blood tests. Packages start from AED 800.
Choose from three levels:
The Essential Package covers the fundamentals every woman should check regularly. It includes:
This package suits younger women, or anyone wanting a simple annual baseline.
The Advanced Package includes everything in Essential, plus tests that look deeper:
Why do hormones matter? FSH, LH and estradiol levels shift with age and cycle stage. Tracking them can help explain irregular periods, fertility questions and menopause symptoms. Your doctor interprets the results in context — numbers alone never tell the full story.
The Ultimate Package is our most comprehensive home health check for women. It includes everything above, plus:
Vitamin D deserves a special mention. Studies consistently show that vitamin D deficiency is widespread among adults in the UAE, despite year-round sunshine. Indoor lifestyles and sun avoidance are the main reasons. Low vitamin D affects bones, muscles and immunity — and it is easy to correct once found.
Men are famously good at postponing check-ups. Many book a doctor only when something feels wrong. The problem is that high cholesterol, high blood sugar and high blood pressure often cause no symptoms at all. They are found by testing, not by feeling.
Our Homecare Well Man Packages remove every excuse. The full check-up comes to you, at home, around your schedule. Packages start from AED 800 and follow the same three tiers.
The core screen every man should have:
Everything in Essential, plus deeper metabolic insight:
These markers matter for men in particular. Uric acid relates to gout risk. HbA1c catches early diabetes. Ferritin and iron explain unexplained tiredness. Together, they paint a picture of your metabolic health.
The complete men’s health check at home:
Why screen when you feel fine? Cardiovascular disease remains the world’s leading cause of death, according to the World Health Organization. Type 2 diabetes is a major and growing health concern in the Gulf region. Both develop silently for years. Both respond best to early action. One morning at home, once a year, is a small investment against big risks.
Numbers on a lab report can feel confusing. At HealthHub, you never face them alone. A doctor reviews your results and explains them in plain language. Here is a quick guide to the most common markers:
One abnormal number is rarely a diagnosis on its own. Results are always read in context — your age, symptoms, history and lifestyle. That is why every package includes a doctor’s consultation, not just a report.
A simple rule of thumb helps:
Not sure? Book a doctor consultation first. Our family medicine specialists will recommend the level that fits your age, history and goals. You will never be pushed toward tests you do not need.
The process is designed to be effortless:
A few simple steps make your visit smooth:
Home care is for everyone, but some people gain the most:
For older adults, home care offers extra safety benefits. It avoids tiring journeys and reduces exposure to infections in crowded spaces. It also lets clinicians assess the home for fall risks, a leading cause of injury in people over 65.
Home care is powerful, but it has limits — and honesty about limits is part of good medicine. Seek emergency care immediately for chest pain, difficulty breathing, sudden weakness, severe bleeding, signs of stroke or serious injury. Call emergency services rather than booking a home visit.
Some situations also need clinic equipment, such as X-rays, ultrasounds or specialist procedures. If that applies to you, our home team will say so and arrange the right next step within the HealthHub network. Your safety always comes before convenience.
Trust is earned through standards, not slogans. Here is what stands behind every HealthHub home visit:
We also believe in honest medicine. Our teams recommend only the tests and treatments you genuinely need. Evidence guides our advice — including when the best advice is reassurance.
Our Homecare Well Woman and Well Man packages start from AED 800. Individual services — doctor visits, nurse visits, blood tests, IV drips and physiotherapy — are priced by service. Contact our team for current prices and any insurance questions. We will always confirm costs clearly before your visit. No surprises.
Which areas of Dubai do you cover? Our home care team serves residential communities across Dubai. Share your location when booking and we will confirm availability and timing for your area.
Can I get a same-day home visit? Often, yes. Same-day and next-day appointments are frequently available, depending on the service and time. Early booking gives you the widest choice of slots.
Can children be seen at home? Yes. Our family medicine specialists care for patients of all ages. Home visits are especially convenient when a child is unwell and travel is difficult.
How long until I get my blood test results? Most routine results are ready within 24 to 48 hours. Some specialised tests take longer. We will tell you the expected timing when your sample is collected.
Is home care covered by insurance? Coverage varies by insurer and policy. Our team can help you check your benefits before you book, so costs are clear from the start.
Do I need a referral for a home visit or package? No referral is needed. You can book a doctor visit, nurse visit or wellness package directly.
Can home care support elderly parents who live with me? Absolutely. Regular nurse visits, medication support, doctor reviews and physiotherapy can all be arranged at home. Many Dubai families use home care to keep elderly parents safe, monitored and comfortable.
What happens if my results show a problem? A doctor contacts you to explain the finding and the next step. That may be a repeat test, a treatment plan or a specialist referral within the HealthHub network. You will never be left with a worrying number and no guidance.
Booking takes only minutes:
Choose your time, and we handle the rest. Same-day and next-day slots are often available across Dubai.
