Medical care, nursing support, and comfort delivered at home, when clinic visits are not ideal.
Getting to a clinic is not always easy. For some older adults, mobility limitations, medical complexity, or recent hospitalisation can make travel exhausting and disruptive. In these situations, receiving care at home can offer continuity, comfort, and reassurance.
Our Home Care and Palliative Support services are designed to support seniors and their families through medical care at home, careful transition from hospital, and ongoing support that prioritises comfort, dignity, and realistic care planning.
When Home Care May Be Appropriate
Home care may be considered for seniors who:
Have difficulty travelling safely to the clinic
Are recovering after a hospital stay
Have multiple medical conditions requiring close monitoring
Need nursing support at home
Benefit from comfort focused care alongside medical treatment
Each case is assessed individually to ensure home care is safe, appropriate, and aligned with care goals.
What Home Care Involves
Transition from Hospital to Home
We support seniors and families during the transition from hospital discharge to home. This includes medical review, medication reconciliation, and coordination of care to reduce gaps that may lead to complications or readmission.
Medical Care at Home
Where appropriate, doctors may review patients at home to assess medical stability, review medications, and guide ongoing care. Certain treatments such as hydration support may be provided based on clinical suitability.
Nursing Support
Nursing care at home may include:
Basic nursing care
Wound care
Monitoring of chronic conditions
Support for feeding tubes such as nasogastric tubes
Suctioning support where required
Care is planned based on clinical needs and reviewed regularly.
Caregiver Guidance and Training
Families and caregivers play an important role in home care. We provide guidance, education, and realistic planning to help caregivers feel supported and confident in managing care at home.
Home Care Palliative Support
Palliative support is not limited to the final stages of illness. It focuses on comfort, symptom relief, emotional wellbeing, and dignity at any stage of serious illness.
This may include:
Pain and symptom management
Support for fatigue, breathlessness, or discomfort
Emotional support for patients and families
Care planning aligned with personal values and goals
Palliative support can be provided alongside medical treatment or as the main focus of care, depending on individual needs.
How Care Is Planned
All home care services are provided on a case by case basis. An initial assessment helps determine suitability, scope of care, and expectations. Care plans are adjusted over time as needs change.
Home care allows medical and supportive care to continue in a familiar environment, reducing unnecessary stress while maintaining safety and oversight. Whether the goal is recovery, long term support, or comfort focused care, thoughtful planning and coordination are key.
If you are considering home care or palliative support for yourself or a loved one, an assessment can help clarify what is appropriate and what support may be helpful at this stage.
