Men with a long-term indwelling urinary catheter that needs routine replacement, including after prostate surgery or with urinary retention.

People recovering from surgery, and those managing diabetic wounds, pressure sores (bedsores), or other wounds that need regular, skilled dressing changes.

People discharged home with a PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) — for example for a course of IV antibiotics or other IV treatment.

People who need regular prescribed injections — for example intramuscular or subcutaneous medications — that they or their family aren't able to give themselves.

People with diabetes who need help with insulin injections or blood glucose monitoring at home — often after a new diagnosis, a change in insulin, or when eyesight or dexterity makes self-injection unsafe.

People fed through a nasogastric (NG) or PEG tube at home, and the families learning to manage daily feeds, flushes and medications through the tube.
