Complex Community Nursing Care — Compassionate Community Care
All Services Compassionate Community Care Service

Complex community nursing care.

Clinical nursing support delivered in the participant’s own home by Registered Nurses, so clinical needs do not force someone into a facility.

Delivered By

Registered Nurses within our own team.

Setting

The participant’s home, not a clinic.

Covers

Complex wound care, medication management, clinical monitoring and more.

Supports

Delegation and supervision of high intensity support work.

Service overview

Clinical care that comes to the participant.

A lot of participants end up in facilities not because they need to be there but because their clinical needs outran what a support worker could safely provide at home. Having Registered Nurses in the team changes that calculation.

Our nurses deliver clinical care directly, and they also delegate and supervise high intensity tasks performed by trained support workers. That combination is what makes complex care at home sustainable rather than fragile.

Who This Service Is For

Participants with complex health or clinical support requirements who want to remain in their own home, and referrers arranging clinical continuity after a discharge.
