house visits

Doorstep medical care

House visits are trips made to someone's home, typically by professionals providing services there rather than at an office or facility.

Doctors once made house visits routinely; now the practice is less common but persists in home healthcare, social work, and real estate.

The social worker conducted house visits to check on the children's welfare.

Sales representatives and religious missionaries also make house visits, sometimes uninvited.
