- Manage chronic conditions (diabetes, hypertension, COPD)
- Provide skilled nursing (wound care, injections, IV therapy)
- Support mobility and prevent falls (physiotherapy, attendants)
- Offer cognitive engagement (companionship, dementia activities)
- Assist with daily living (bathing, feeding, medication reminders)
