For cases requiring intensive medical attention or continuous monitoring, we provide 12- or 24-hour "Continuous Care," replicating a hospital environment at home.
Your Nurse Manager will curate a professional team led by a Specialist Nurse (SN) or Registered Nurse (RN), supported by Enrolled Nurses (EN) or Health Workers (HW) for seamless and tiered support.
As a key team member, the EN:
ENs maintain constant client contact and execute clinical plans designed by the RNs, ensuring a 24/7 professional support system.






Patients with clear nursing needs and stable conditions.
Individuals requiring routine subcutaneous (e.g., insulin) or intramuscular injections.
Clients needing routine wound care, catheter, or stoma management.
As part of a 'Homespital' team, clients requiring 12/24-hour continuous care for stable but high-need conditions.
Beyond staffing, YDCare is different from an agency:
Every EN is registered with the Nursing Council of Hong Kong and vetted by our senior management for clinical skills and communication empathy.
ENs work under the direct oversight of RNs and Nurse Managers, ensuring strict adherence to personalized care plans.
Your Nurse Manager provides continuous personalized care coordination, ensuring all EN tasks align with the client's latest condition.

Our Case Manager will understand your case and primary nursing needs.
Your dedicated Nurse Manager will conduct a detailed discussion and assessment to determine if an EN is the most suitable and cost-effective option.
The Nurse Manager will match you with an EN who has relevant experience, and assemble a "Homespital" care team if needed.
The EN will provide professional nursing at home under the Nurse Manager's supervision and provide regular updates.
The main difference is that an EN is a professional nurse registered with the Nursing Council of Hong Kong. They can perform various clinical procedures such as medication administration, injections, and wound care. A Health Worker, on the other hand, primarily provides personal care and basic health monitoring, and cannot perform invasive medical procedures.
All care plans will be developed by your dedicated Nurse Manager or a Registered Nurse within the team. The role of the EN is to execute the plan accurately and safely under this professional guidance.
The EN will immediately report to your dedicated Nurse Manager or the on-duty Registered Nurse. The team will make immediate professional judgments and instructions, such as recommending adjustments to the care plan or having a more senior nurse take over. This is the core value of our team-based follow-up service.
