How Our Registered Nurses Provide Essential Support at Home and Beyond
The journey through life for those with complex health needs can be filled with challenges, but with the right support, it can also be a journey of triumph and independence. NDIS recognises this and provides support for complex nursing care. At uCare iCare, our team of dedicated registered nurses is here to guide you through every step, ensuring that you or your loved one receives the highest quality of care, whether at home, following hospital discharge, or during times of crisis.
Understanding Complex Nursing Care under the NDIS:
Complex nursing care involves medical and health support for individuals with significant and ongoing healthcare needs due to a disability. Under the NDIS, participants with these needs have access to funding for professional nursing care. This includes assistance with wound care, medication management, ventilation care, and other medical needs. Those services include:
- Complex Bowel Care
- Enteral (Naso-Gastric Tube – Jejunum Or Duodenum) Feeding And Management
- Severe Dysphagia Management
- Tracheostomy Management
- Urinary Catheter Management (In-Dwelling Urinary Catheter, In-Out Catheter, Suprapubic Catheter)
- Ventilator Management
- Subcutaneous Injections
- Complex Wound Management
Our team of registered nurses is uniquely equipped to provide comprehensive and compassionate care tailored to each individual’s needs. We understand that each NDIS participant’s situation is unique, and we’re committed to delivering personalised care plans that support your goals and aspirations.
At Home Care:
uCare iCare provides community nursing care in the Northern Suburbs of Melbourne. The comfort of receiving care at home is unmatched. Our nurses are trained to provide a range of services in the familiar setting of your home, ensuring you feel secure and comfortable while receiving the necessary medical care. We focus on enhancing your quality of life and independence, working closely with your existing support network.
Post-Hospital Care:
Transitioning home after a hospital stay can be daunting. Our nurses play a critical role in this phase, offering skilled care to manage your medical needs and ensure a smooth recovery. We collaborate with your healthcare team to deliver a seamless continuum of care, from hospital to home.
Crisis Management:
In times of crisis, immediate and expert care is crucial. Our team is trained to respond effectively to various emergency situations, providing the necessary interventions and support to manage the crisis and stabilise the condition of the participant. We also provide crisis accommodation to further assist participants with whatever they are going through at the time.
Our commitment extends beyond daily medical tasks. We understand the importance of holistic care, which includes supporting your emotional and mental well-being. Our nurses are not just caregivers; they’re advocates, educators, and allies in your healthcare journey.
