Home nursing brings a nurse to the home for care that needs nursing skills, such as dressing wounds, managing medications, or recovering after surgery. Our nurses work alongside our caregivers and keep the person's doctor informed, so recovery and long-term conditions can be managed without repeated trips to a clinic.
What's included
Wound care and dressing changes
Medication management
Care after surgery or a hospital stay
Support for chronic conditions
Keeping the family and doctor up to date
Who it's for
People recovering from surgery or illness, people living with long-term conditions, and families who want nursing care at home alongside day-to-day help.
How it starts
Call or send the form below. A care coordinator visits for a free in-home assessment, checks the bathroom and home for safety risks, recommends a starting plan, and introduces your two or three caregivers before the first visit. Hours change whenever your needs do, with no long-term contract.
Community nursing through your health authority has no cost in BC, though there can be a cost for equipment. It needs a referral and assessment by the health authority. Private home nursing with us is paid by the hour, needs no assessment, and can be booked for the times you choose.
What is the difference between a nurse and a caregiver?
Caregivers help with daily life: personal care, meals, company and errands. Nurses handle care that needs nursing skills, such as wound care and medication management. Many families use both, with nursing visits for the medical side and caregivers for everything in between.
Can home nursing start right after a hospital discharge?
Yes. Call us as soon as a discharge date is likely and we will plan the first visits with you. We aim to visit for a free in-home assessment within 24 hours of your first call.
