What is Home and Community Care?
Home Care Nursing are those services which are delivered in the home of the client or in a central location in the community. It can include activities such as acute care nursing (for example complex dressings and home renal dialysis), monitoring a person’s medication, wound management, teaching clients to care for themselves, therapeutic diet support, managing chronic diseases (for example providing services for people with diabetes and their families), and adult care clinics. In addition to these activities, home care nursing responsibilities often include the
supervision and teaching of the home health aides (or personal care workers) providing personal
care.
