Community nursing care refers to the provision of healthcare services in the community setting, outside of the hospital or clinical environment. Community nurses work with patients and their families to deliver individualised care that is tailored to meet their unique needs. They provide a wide range of services, including wound care, medication management, catheter and continence management, and health education. Community nursing care plays a critical role in supporting people to remain in their homes and communities for as long as possible, as well as promoting independence and preventing hospital admissions. 

• General nursing care, including managing chronic illness in line with doctor’s recommendations
• Post hospital / treatment in-home care
• In-home palliative nursing care for those with life-limiting illness and require additional support

Respite care in Australia is a service designed to provide temporary relief to caregivers who are responsible for looking after a person with a disability, chronic illness, or age-related condition. The aim of respite care is to offer caregivers a break from their caring responsibilities, allowing them to rest and recharge, while their loved one receives quality care from a trained professional. Respite care can be provided in various settings, including in-home, community-based, or residential care facilities. It can be offered on a planned or emergency basis, and the duration of the service can range from a few hours to several weeks. Respite support and accommodation can be supplied for up to 14 days at a time throughout a 12 month period. Longer periods of time can be negotiated based on your unique circumstances. Just ask us how.

The type of respite care offered may vary depending on the needs of the individual and their family, and may include personal care, nursing care, therapy, socialisation, and recreational activities. 

Your short-term accommodation will include:

• Personal care
• Routine management
• Accommodation
• Food and meal preparation
• Transportation to appointments
