Catch Problems Early With Regular Medical Check-Ins

Nurse check-ins that catches issues early before they become bigger problems. 
Lets Get Started

At SendVia, wellness isn’t a one-time visit — it’s an ongoing relationship.

Our quarterly nurse check-ins are designed to catch small health issues early, support daily living, and give families peace of mind long before there’s an emergency. Every three months, your loved one is automatically connected with a certified Filipino nurse who knows their health history and understands the realities of care at home in the Philippines. These visits happen both virtually and in-person, rotating between each type every three months.

What happens during a Nurse Check-In

In-Home Nurse Visits  

 For many health concerns, nothing replaces seeing a nurse in person at home.

During an in-home wellness check, our nurses can:  

  • Check vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation)  

  • Review medications for correct dosing and timing

  • Observe mobility, balance, and fall risk around the home

  • Assess skin, breathing, and any swelling or pain

  • Talk through recent changes in sleep, appetite, or mood

  • Identify early warning signs that might need a doctor’s attention.

Because these visits happen in your loved one’s own environment, nurses see the full picture — how they move, where they rest, how they store medicines, and what daily life actually looks like. This context is critical for preventing avoidable issues.  

Virtual Nurse Check-Ins

Between in‑home visits, virtual nurse check-ins provide a flexible way to stay on top of health changes without travel or long clinic lines. Through secure phone or video calls, nurses can:

  • Follow up on any recommendations from the last visit
  • Ask about new symptoms, pain, or side effects
  • Check if medications and supplies are sufficient
  • Guide families on when a concern can be monitored at home vs. when it should be escalated
  • Coordinate with doctors and Care Companions when additional support is needed.

Virtual visits are especially helpful after hospitalizations, medication changes, or when mobility and transportation are challenging. They ensure there is always a professional keeping an eye on the situation — not just during crises.

 

 

Why Quarterly Wellness Checks Matter for Preventive Health

 Preventive care is about acting early, not reacting late. Regular nurse check-ins every quarter create a safety net that can: 

1. Catch Problems Before They Become Emergencies

Many serious health issues start with small, subtle changes: slightly higher blood pressure, mild swelling in the legs, a persistent cough, confusion, or unusual fatigue. When a nurse is checking in regularly, these patterns are more likely to be noticed and addressed before they lead to:

  • Emergency room visits
  • Unplanned hospital stays
  • Complicated, costly treatments

By spotting changes early, nurses can coordinate timely virtual doctor consults or in-home doctor visits so problems are managed while they’re still small.

2. Support Chronic Condition Management

For loved ones with conditions like hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, COPD, or arthritis, quarterly wellness checks are a cornerstone of long-term management. Nurses can:

  • Monitor blood pressure and blood sugar trends
  • Reinforce diet, activity, and medication guidance
  • Adjust routines based on how the person actually feels day to day
  • Catch signs of complications (e.g., foot wounds, breathing changes, dizziness)

Consistent monitoring helps prevent flare-ups and keeps chronic conditions stable, which means fewer surprises and smoother daily life.

3. Reduce Stress for Families in the US and in the Philippines

When you’re supporting a loved one from abroad, it’s hard not to worry:

  • Are they really taking their medicines as prescribed?
  • Are they eating and sleeping well?
  • Are they hiding symptoms to “avoid being a burden”?

Quarterly nurse check-ins transform that uncertainty into clear information and a plan. You know that:

  • A trained professional is laying eyes on your loved one regularly
  • Issues are documented and followed up
  • You’ll receive proof of care and visit summaries through the SendVia Care Portal

This proactive approach gives families confidence that they’re not waiting for a health crisis to learn something is wrong.

4. Strengthen Daily Habits That Protect Long-Term Health

Preventive health isn’t just about tests and vital signs. It’s also about building small, sustainable habits that keep people stronger over time. During wellness checks, nurses:

  • Encourage safe physical activity appropriate for age and condition
  • Reinforce hydration, nutrition, and sleep routines
  • Coach on home safety (fall risks, clutter, lighting, bathroom setup)
  • Educate on warning signs that should never be ignored

Over time, these conversations add up to meaningful improvements in quality of life and independence.

 

Virtual + In-Person: A Complete Safety Net

Quarterly nurse wellness checks are most powerful when virtual and in‑home visits work together:

  • In-home visits allow nurses to perform hands-on assessments and see the full home environment.
  • Virtual visits make it easy to follow up on concerns quickly and stay connected between in-person check-ins.

This combination means your loved one is never left alone to guess what to do next when something feels “off.” There’s always a nurse who knows their story and is ready to guide the next step — from simple reassurance to arranging a doctor visit or specialist referral.
