Factoring this with the fact that the elderly may have more mobility issues and the like, the elderly may no longer be able to visit a doctor and a hospital. Further exacerbating the issue, the elderly has a tendency to trust TCMs, or they may simply forget to administer medication on time. This interferes with the efficacy of the Medication, which would affect their ability to recover faster. This is where Home Nursing comes into play. Home Nursing allows the aged to be treated and checked on in the comfort of their home.
