Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does respite care involve and who might benefit from it?

    Respite care is designed to provide temporary relief to primary carers, offering them a break while providing continued support to their loved ones. This service might benefit carers of individuals with chronic illnesses, disabilities or the elderly who require constant supervision and assistance. Respite care can be arranged for just a few hours, overnight or for longer periods, depending on the needs of the carer and the individual receiving care.

  • What is involved in complex wound care at home?

    Complex wound care at home encompasses the management and treatment of wounds that are difficult to heal due to underlying conditions such as diabetes, vascular diseases or immobility. This service is managed by healthcare professionals who perform regular assessments and apply advanced wound care techniques and dressings to promote healing. The care plan may include cleaning the wound, managing infection and monitoring for any signs of complications. The goal is to minimise discomfort and the risk of infection.

  • What types of disabilities do disability nursing services cater to?

    Disability nursing services cater to a wide range of disabilities, including but not limited to physical disabilities, developmental disabilities, sensory impairments and neurological conditions. These services are designed to meet the unique needs of each individual, regardless of the nature or severity of their disability.

  • How do I know if disability nursing services are right for my loved one?

    Disability nursing services may be beneficial if your loved one requires specialised care and support due to a disability that impacts their daily life. If you find yourself struggling to meet their complex healthcare needs or if you need respite care to take breaks from caregiving responsibilities, disability nursing services could be a valuable resource. It's essential to consult with healthcare professionals to assess your loved one's needs and explore the available options for tailored care and support.
