Catholic Healthcare is delighted to offer a comprehensive range of allied health services, including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and in-home nursing. These services aim to enhance physical wellbeing, promote independence, and help clients stay longer in their own homes. Each client’s preferences and needs are thoughtfully considered during planning and service delivery. We are proud to highlight our in-home nursing services, provided by our dedicated team of Registered Nurses (RNs) who deliver expert clinical care to support your health goals.
What our in-home nursing service offers:
Personalised, client-centred support
• Our in-home nursing is tailored to each individual, taking into account specific health conditions, preferences, lifestyle, and goals. Our RNs develop care plans that adapt as your needs evolve, ensuring continuous, responsive support.
Supporting ageing at home
• Many older Australians wish to remain in familiar surroundings as they age. Our in-home nursing makes this possible by providing clinical and personal care where you feel most comfortable.
• This approach helps delay or even prevent the need for residential care.
Clinical expertise delivered to your door
• Wound Care: Our skilled RNs manage and treat wounds, including pressure injuries, and monitor for infection.
• Medication Management: Receive assistance with medication administration, monitoring for side effects, and ensuring correct dosages.
• Continence Care: Help with bladder and bowel management, including catheter and stoma care.
• Pain Management: Assessment and relief using medication and non-medicinal techniques.
• Vital Signs Monitoring: Regular checks of blood pressure, temperature, and pulse to detect any early changes.
• Communication & Education: Our nurses communicate clearly and provide education and guidance to clients, families, and other health professionals.
• Care Coordination: Smooth collaboration with doctors, therapists, and social workers for a holistic approach.
• Chronic Disease Management: Support for ongoing conditions such as diabetes, COPD, and dementia.
• Post-Hospital Support: Assistance with recovery and transition after hospital stays.
Is in-home nursing right for you?
If you are unsure whether in-home nursing suits your situation, these real-life case studies may assist your decision:
Case Study 1: John, 78—Recovering after hospital discharge
• After a fall at home and a brief hospital stay, John felt anxious about resuming independent living. His daughter contacted Catholic Healthcare for support.
• Our nurse visited John daily during the first week, helping with wound care, medication management, and mobility. As John’s confidence grew, visits became less frequent. He now enjoys weekly check-ins and ongoing diabetes management, all from the comfort of his own home.
Case Study 2: Maria, 85—Living independently with dementia
• Maria, who lives alone with early-stage dementia, wanted to stay at home. Her family needed extra reassurance and support for daily routines.
• Our nurse collaborated with Maria to develop a personalised plan including medication reminders, regular monitoring, and close communication with her GP. Thanks to this tailored approach, Maria has safely maintained her independence at home for over 18 months.
