A registered nurse comes to the house on an agreed schedule and does the clinical work that would otherwise mean a car journey, a waiting room and half a day gone. Wound dressing, injections, catheter and stoma care, vitals monitoring and medication administration — all of it in the chair you already like sitting in.
What a visit covers
- Wound assessment and dressing changes, including post-surgical sites
- Prescribed injections and subcutaneous fluids
- Catheter and stoma care, changes and troubleshooting
- Blood pressure, pulse, temperature, oxygen saturation and blood glucose
- Medication administration and blister-pack checks
What happens afterwards
Written notes go out the same evening to whoever in the family needs to know — observations, medication given and anything that changed. If something needs a doctor, we say so that night rather than at the next visit.
