Community Nursing
Home Care Nursing Service from Esprit Care
According to the 2016 Australian Government Aged Care Roadmap, most people prefer to stay in their homes. Home care nursing makes this possible. As home care nursing service is an integral part of our role as an NDIS provider, we have carefully designed it to meet your personal and medical needs all the way.
When should you get a nurse for home?
Community Nurse Care is for participants who have complex personal support needs. These needs are usually best met by a professional who possesses medical training and experience.
This service is highly recommended when the participant has the following needs:
• Limited communication
• Behavioural support needs
• Medical needs or assistance with procedures such as home enteral nutrition or ventilation
This service is particularly vital for those suffering from Dementia or has memory loss. They may also be unable to take responsibility for their own medications.
Does NDIS provide funding for community nurse services?
Yes! However, every NDIS plan looks a bit different. As such, it may be hard to know the exact amount of NDIS funding allotted for this type of service. Here are some examples of how this will look like in your plan:
• In ‘Core Supports’, there are items with funding for “assistance with daily living”, “residential aged care supplement”, or “residential aged care subsidy”.
• In ‘Core Supports’, there may be a budget for assistance for daily support needs in a residential aged care facility. Take note that these are ‘stated supports.’ This means that you can’t use the budget for a different type of support.
