A wide range of services are referred to as "home-based care," including professional caregiving, nursing services, home-based primary care, and hospitalisation at home for patients who are chronically ill and bedridden. A significant portion of these patients are bedridden, immobile, or have chronic illnesses like dementia, heart disease, cancer, chronic liver diseases, chronic lung diseases, hypertension, diabetes, etc. The hospital's services are extended into the patient's home with the help of home healthcare services. Home care services, on the other hand, range from simple assistance with daily tasks like dressing, grooming, ambulation, changing diapers, helping with the toilet, and meal preparation to more complex nursing services like wound dressing, feeding through a nasogastric tube, catheter change, injection, and tracheotomy. Home health care services' main objectives are to support patients' highest degree of well-being, increase their ability to function and live independently, and enable them stay at home instead of being sent to a hospital or long-term care facility. About 50 research papers on patients, nurses, general duty assistance, and elderly people were analysed by the researchers in the current study. The need for treatment in the most effective and efficient environment has grown as the proportion of older clients with numerous chronic diseases keeps increasing. As a result, patient preferences and satisfaction are increasingly being used as performance indicators; nonetheless, it is the patients' and their families' obligation to ensure that the nurses and GDAS are working in a safe and secure atmosphere.
