Home Care Nursing
About this resource
If you require acute, chronic or palliative support, we can help with community care nursing services. A community care nurse (a Registered Nurse or Licensed Practical Nurse) will provide care on a non-emergency basis to help with services such as administering medications and changing dressings. In some communities, these services may be provided at a community clinic or in your home, if homebound, as appropriate.
Nursing services may include:
-Pain management
-Chronic disease management
-Intravenous care
-Ostomy care
-Post-hospital care
-Wound care
-Palliative care
-Self-care teaching
