Looking for a private nurse or caregiver?
Whether you require a registered nurse for six hours a week, or a professional, compassionate carer to tend to your loved one around the clock, we have highly qualified, experienced staff available, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Every one of our carers genuinely enjoys spending time with the elderly and infirm, and our work is not limited to medical services. More and more families are now using us to provide companionship for people of all ages who can no longer get out and about. For some clients, all they need is somebody to chat to while their washing is folded and the dishes put away. Others will be keen to stay in touch with the outside world, in which case our caregivers will take your loved one to a café for lunch, or help them with their grocery shopping.
Our staff are all highly experienced, professionally trained, and adept at handling patients with a wide range of health issues, including dementia, Parkinson’s Disease, Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, and paraplegia.
Caring for the carers
Caring for family members can be very rewarding, but we know that it can also be an exhausting and thankless task. The importance of caring for the caregiver is frequently overlooked by those of us who haven’t experienced what it is to tend to a family member’s needs, day in and day out. Even a few hours of respite by way of a registered nurse or carer can be enough to recharge a caregiver’s batteries, and it can be just as beneficial for your loved one to see a different face occasionally, even if it’s just for three hours a week!
Palliative care at home
Palliative care is a specialised form of caregiving that can be very confronting for some people, especially when combined with the grief that we are feeling over our impending loss. There is nothing shameful about wanting to hand over the medical side of your loved one’s care to an expert while you focus on making their last few weeks as special as they can be.
Dying with dignity can mean different things to different people. Some palliative patients can think of nothing worse than being cared for by strangers, while others strongly dislike the thought of friends and family having to take care of certain necessities, such as toileting, showering, and flushing catheter tubes.
Talk to us about how best to manage your friend or family member’s palliative care needs. We work closely with the team at Nurse Maude to ensure that your loved one’s passing is as free from fear and stress as possible.
