Home nursing care: when is it needed?
Home nursing may be needed at various stages of life: after surgery, during recovery from an illness, in situations of dependency, in the management of chronic conditions, or when regular clinical monitoring is required.
This service is indicated for people who need:
- Medication administration
- Wound treatment
- Post-operative care
- Vital signs monitoring
- Support in situations of dependency
- Pressure ulcer prevention
- Care for ostomies, tubes or catheters
- Blood glucose control
- Palliative care
- Health education
- Support for family and carers
Receiving care at home keeps the person in their familiar environment, with greater emotional comfort, privacy and continuity of care.
