 Home Visit Plan

Goal: After 3 days of home visits within the community of Navotas City, each family will be able to
understand the concept of malnutrition and be informed about how it develops within the age bracket,
what causes them, and what the consequences are for each child. This is done to accurately assess the
family's health, especially the child's access to a healthy diet, and to help each family become more
conscious of the signs that a child's health needs to be monitored. Additionally, the goal of this home
visitation is to observe positive changes in the family's health 1 week after the visit and teaching were
completed.
