Nursing services
Capecare enables clients to live independently by attending to their ongoing health care needs in their home.
Access to nursing care at home has many benefits:
- Clients do not need to leave home to visit a practice nurse. If they are in pain or have limited mobility we can provide nursing services within the privacy of home.
- A set day, date and time can be arranged for nursing service so there’s no need to miss out on social outings or family visits.
Capecare has a team of qualified and experienced nurses to assist with at-home clinical care. Our nurses are all registered and follow best practice evidence-based nursing care and guidelines.
Examples of the nursing services Capecare provides:
- Wound assessment and care
