Nursing Care at home provides skilled, specialised healthcare in the comfort of your own home. From short-term support with postoperative wound care to long-term management of medications and chronic conditions, Independent Living Disability Services offers sophisticated and individualised in-home medical care. By preventing the need to travel to a doctor’s office or to a hospital, home nursing care offers convenience and comfort and reduces the risk of hospital-acquired infection.

Nurses are fully qualified to provide one-on-one clinical care. Getting nursing help at home means increased comfort, privacy and safety.

The role of a Nurse is either to administer urgent short-term treatment or to have an ongoing role in overseeing chronic clinical care needs. A Nurse makes an important addition to your loved one’s Caregiving Team, as they give family members peace of mind that they are receiving the best possible home care.

What Does a Home Nurse Do?

A Home Healthcare Nurse provides nursing care in your loved one’s home. As a trained Registered Nurse, the home care nurse can offer support for medical needs such as wound care, IV therapy, catheter care and other services that require clinical skills.

We often find that when people request home nursing care, our highly experienced and professional Caregivers can perform most of the necessary duties. A Registered Nurse can then assist with complex clinical tasks as required. This team-based approach delivers the most cost-effective care.

Caregivers and nurses working together, leads to your loved ones having fewer hospitalisations. This reduces the risk of exposure to major infections and the subsequent development of life-threatening illnesses. This also reduces the premature need for an expensive nursing home placement.

Our Registered Nurses are university qualified and are available whenever you need them- 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They work with your loved one’s medical team to coordinate their treatment and support.

What is the Difference Between Personal Care and Nursing Care?

Personal care includes any support that helps you accomplish daily activities such as eating, grooming, and toileting. This support is provided by an experienced carer who is trained through a certification program. Nursing Care, on the other hand, requires a university-trained Registered Nurse, who works with your loved one’s team to provide skilled clinical care. Nursing Care could include assessing needs, planning treatment, administering medication, and other medical services.
