Home nursing and home healthcare providers are health facilities licensed by DHA in Dubai, DOH in Abu Dhabi and MOHAP in the northern emirates. Nurses, physiotherapists and doctors who visit must each hold a professional licence from that authority.

Nurse or caregiver?

A licensed nurse can give injections, manage wounds, catheters and feeding tubes, and monitor a patient after hospital. A caregiver helps with bathing, meals, mobility and company, and is not a nurse. Ask which you are getting, and make sure the care plan matches the patient's medical needs.

What it costs in 2026

  • Nurse home visit, per visit: AED 200 to 450
  • Nurse, 12-hour shift: AED 600 to 1,000
  • Physiotherapy home visit: AED 350 to 600
  • Live-in caregiver through a licensed provider: AED 6,000 to 15,000 per month

These are typical Dubai prices; in the other emirates prices are often similar or somewhat lower.

Before you book

Ask for an assessment visit and a written care plan. Check what your insurance covers, since some plans pay for home nursing after a hospital stay with a doctor's referral. Agree how the provider reports changes in the patient's condition and who to call at night.

Check the badge first, then read the reviews and the response rate. Ask for a written quote that names the company on the licence, and pay only to an account in that company's name.

Frequently asked questions

Who licenses home nursing providers?

The health authority of the emirate: DHA in Dubai, DOH in Abu Dhabi and MOHAP in the northern emirates. The provider needs a health facility licence for home healthcare, and each nurse or therapist needs a professional licence. Check both on the authority's online register.

How much does home nursing cost in the UAE?

In 2026 a nurse visit costs AED 200 to 450, a 12-hour nursing shift AED 600 to 1,000, a physiotherapy visit AED 350 to 600 and a live-in caregiver AED 6,000 to 15,000 a month. These are typical Dubai prices; in the other emirates prices are often similar or somewhat lower.

Does insurance cover home nursing?

Some plans do, usually after a hospital stay and with a doctor's referral and pre-approval. Long-term caregiving is rarely covered. Ask your insurer and the provider to confirm cover in writing before care starts.

What should a care plan include?

The patient's diagnosis and medicines, the tasks the nurse or caregiver will do, the visit schedule, how vital signs and changes are recorded, who supervises the staff and what to do in an emergency (call 998 for an ambulance).
