Funmi did not know what LivingRite Care was until the day she needed us.
Her father had been in the hospital for nearly two weeks — an ICU admission following a cardiovascular event that had shaken the entire family. When the doctors said he was stable enough to go home, the relief was immediate. And then, almost as quickly, it was replaced by something else.
Her father could not walk to the bathroom unassisted. He had seven new medications, each with specific timing requirements and dietary instructions that the nurse had explained quickly and she had not fully absorbed. He needed physiotherapy. His wound from a procedure during the admission needed regular dressing changes. And Funmi had a flight back to London in 48 hours.
She stood in the hospital discharge office holding a printed list and feeling, for the first time in the entire ordeal, genuinely alone with the weight of it.
A friend sent her our number.
She called that afternoon not knowing what to expect. What she got was a free 30-minute conversation with our team — no charges, no pressure — where we listened carefully to her father's situation, asked the right clinical questions, and told her clearly what he needed in the weeks ahead. By the time her flight departed, a LivingRite Care nurse was already scheduled for his first home visit. His medications were being managed. His physiotherapy program had been assessed and started. And Funmi was receiving daily updates on his progress from a clinical professional who was actually in the room with him.
She has told us since that the call she made to us was the most useful thing she did in those two days.
This is what LivingRite Care does. But it is far from all we do.
What We Are
LivingRite Care is a doctor-led home healthcare company providing professional clinical care in homes across Lagos and Abuja, Nigeria. Every care plan created for every patient we serve is overseen by our medical director, Dr. Chidinma Okongwu — a qualified medical doctor who reviews each case personally, directs the clinical approach, and adjusts the care plan as the patient's condition evolves. This means that the standard of care your loved one receives at home is not determined by whoever happens to be on duty. It is clinically directed, consistently delivered, and accountable at the highest level.
We were founded because of a gap that existed — and in many cases still exists — in Nigerian healthcare. The gap between leaving the hospital and recovering fully at home. Between the care families want to provide for their loved ones and the clinical expertise that providing it well actually requires.
We exist to close that gap.
Our Services
Post-ICU and Post-Hospital Recovery Care
The period immediately after hospital discharge is one of the most medically critical windows in a patient's health journey. Research consistently shows that complications — infections, medication errors, falls, blood clots, dehydration — are most likely to occur in the first 30 days after discharge. In Nigeria, where families are expected to manage this period largely without clinical support, the risk is compounded by the absence of the professional oversight that makes early identification of these complications possible.
Our post-hospital recovery service provides consistent nursing visits, medication management and administration, vital signs monitoring, wound assessment, early warning sign detection, and direct communication with the overseeing physician when escalation is needed. For families managing care from abroad, we provide the professional clinical presence on the ground that replaces uncertainty with confidence and 2am panic calls with daily updates.
Post-Surgical Care
Surgery creates a controlled wound that the body must heal from the inside out. In the weeks following an operation, patients are more vulnerable to infection, more likely to experience complications from incorrect wound management, and at significant risk from medication errors and inadequate mobilisation. Most families manage this without clinical training, through no fault of their own, and the consequences are reflected in Nigeria's post-surgical readmission statistics.
Our post-surgical care service handles wound dressing and infection prevention, medication management, pain monitoring, guided mobilisation to reduce deep vein thrombosis risk, and nutritional support. We work directly with the surgeon's discharge instructions and communicate with the clinical team when adjustment is needed. Our goal is a recovery that is thorough, safe, and as swift as the patient's condition allows.
Stroke and Neurorehabilitation
A stroke does not end with discharge from hospital. In many ways, it begins there — because the recovery of function after a neurological event depends almost entirely on what happens in the weeks and months that follow. Consistent, professionally guided physiotherapy, cognitive support, and clinical monitoring are not optional components of stroke recovery. They are the core of it.
Our neurorehabilitation service brings specialist physiotherapists directly to the patient's home, designing and implementing individualised rehabilitation programs that target motor function, speech, balance, and independence at a pace calibrated to the patient's specific injury and progress. We track milestones, adapt the program as the patient improves, and provide families with a clear, honest picture of what recovery looks like and how long it realistically takes.
For stroke patients who receive early, consistent, professional rehabilitation, the difference in functional outcomes compared to those who do not is substantial. This is not a service that enhances recovery. For many patients, it is what recovery depends on.
Chronic Disease Management
Diabetes. Hypertension. Heart failure. Chronic kidney disease. These conditions do not resolve. They are managed — and the quality of that management determines whether a patient remains stable at home or cycles repeatedly through hospital admissions.
Managing chronic disease well at home requires more than medication compliance. It requires regular clinical monitoring of relevant markers, dietary oversight, activity guidance, early identification of complications, and a professional who knows the difference between a symptom that can be managed conservatively and one that requires immediate escalation.
Our chronic disease management service provides this consistently, over the long term, in the patient's home. We work with the treating physician to ensure that the care plan at home aligns with the clinical objectives set in the clinic, and we keep detailed records that make every outpatient appointment more productive and every clinical decision better informed.
Elderly and Geriatric Care
Aging changes what a person needs — gradually, often invisibly, until the gap between what they need and what they are receiving becomes impossible to ignore. Reduced mobility increases fall risk. Cognitive changes create medication management challenges. Reduced social engagement accelerates cognitive decline. Chronic conditions that were manageable at 65 require more active oversight at 75.
Our elderly care service provides professional support that keeps aging parents and grandparents safely at home — where the vast majority of them want to be — with the clinical oversight, daily assistance, and human presence that makes remaining at home both possible and safe. For families who live elsewhere in Nigeria or abroad, we provide the reliable professional presence that makes the distance feel less frightening.
End-of-Life and Palliative Care
Some patients reach a stage at which the goal of care shifts from recovery to comfort. This transition deserves to be handled with the same clinical competence and human compassion as any other stage of the healthcare journey — perhaps more so.
Our palliative care service focuses on pain and symptom management, emotional and psychological support for the patient and family, dignity in daily care, and the consistent professional presence that ensures a person's final weeks or months are spent in the environment they love, surrounded by the people they love, with their comfort actively managed by a qualified clinical team.
Postpartum Care
Childbirth is a significant clinical event — for the mother and for the newborn. Recovery from delivery, particularly from caesarean section, involves wound management, pain control, monitoring for complications, breastfeeding support, and the kind of attentive clinical oversight that identifies problems before they escalate.
New mothers in Nigeria are expected to recover quickly and with minimal support. The clinical reality is that the postpartum period carries genuine health risks for both mother and baby that professional support can significantly reduce. Our postpartum care service provides expert clinical care at home in the weeks following delivery, so that new mothers can recover well, establish feeding successfully, and transition into parenthood with the professional support that both they and their baby deserve.
What Makes LivingRite Care Different
There are home care providers in Nigeria. There are nurses who visit patients. There are caregivers who assist with daily tasks. What is rare — genuinely rare — is the combination of things that LivingRite Care brings together.
Doctor-led clinical oversight means that every care plan is created and monitored by a qualified medical professional, not simply delivered by whoever is available. This is not standard in the Nigerian home healthcare market. It is what we were built around.
A multidisciplinary team means that patients with complex needs — post-stroke patients who need both nursing and physiotherapy, elderly patients who need both clinical monitoring and daily care support, post-surgical patients who need both wound management and mobilisation guidance — do not have to coordinate multiple separate providers. We coordinate it.
Consistent, proactive family communication means that you are never waiting for news. We update you. We flag concerns before they become crises. For diaspora families managing care from thousands of miles away, this is not a feature. It is the foundation of peace of mind.
And a free 30-minute consultation means that the first step costs nothing. No commitment, no charges, no pressure — just an honest clinical conversation about what your loved one needs and whether LivingRite Care is the right team to provide it.
Starting Is Simple
If someone you love needs care at home — whether they have just left the hospital, are managing a chronic condition, recovering from surgery, navigating the aftermath of a stroke, or simply aging in ways that require more support than the family alone can provide — the first step is having a conversation with us to map pit the exact care your loved one needs.
