Basic Nursing Care
Basic nursing care involves assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and feeding. This type of care is often required for elderly patients or those recovering from surgery. Basic care ensures that the patient’s everyday needs are met in a dignified manner.
Post-Surgical Care
After undergoing surgery, many patients require specialized care to ensure proper healing. Home nurses can help with wound care, administering medications, monitoring vital signs, and assisting with physical therapy exercises. This type of care is critical for reducing complications and speeding up recovery.
Palliative and Hospice Care
Palliative care is focused on providing relief from the symptoms of serious illnesses, rather than attempting to cure the illness itself. For patients with terminal illnesses, hospice care offers emotional, physical, and spiritual support for both the patient and their family. Home nurses trained in palliative care help manage pain, address psychological concerns, and ensure comfort.
Chronic Disease Management
For patients with chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or COPD, home nursing services can provide ongoing support. Nurses can help monitor the patient’s condition, administer medications, track symptoms, and educate patients on managing their disease effectively at home.
