What is nursing care? Simply put, nursing care is care that is provided and supervised by a registered qualified nurse. Technically it goes beyond the supportive home care provided by most domiciliary and residential caregivers. It involves clinical care that can allow people with complex conditions and care needs to be safely supported. Nursing care is routinely offered in hospitals and hospices, but this level of care can also be provided in the home or in a nursing home. Nurses are able to deal with: Monitor ventilation Complex continence issues. Stomas. Catheters. PEG feeding or tube feeding. Qualified nurses have the training, experience and expertise to manage these challenging issues, so that the person they care for can live comfortably and with dignity. If your loved one has no complex medical conditions and simply needs support to live independently in their own home, a home carer may be the solution you need.
