Nursing Care - Home Nursing & Disability Support Programs
Iris creates bespoke nursing programs to support NDIS participants with complex medical requirements in their home environment. We work collaboratively with allied health teams to set up a program that will support these participants for long-term success.
We have enrolled nurses (ENs) with experience in the participant’s specific medical condition/s. The nurse works alongside a team of support workers to meet the client’s daily support needs. We provide skilled and timely care to our clients while promoting their independence and involvement in care decision-making.
A registered nurse (RN) provides oversight for one hour every day and is contactable after hours to support the team in delivering positive health outcomes.
Our Comprehensive Nursing Services Include:
- Medication administration.
- Diabetes management.
- Complex wound management.
- Complex pain management.
- Catheter or stoma care.
- PEG feeding.
- Sub cutaneous / intra muscular injections.
- Change of oxygen.
- Administration of complex health treatment plans.
- Liaison with pharmacy / allied health professionals.
- Prevention and management of pressure injuries.
- Prevention of falls.
- Monitoring vital signs (e.g. blood pressure and heart rate).
We are able to support clients with multiple and complex needs such as:
- Diabetes Type 1 & 2.
- Acquired Brain Injury.
- Cerebral Palsy.
- Intellectual Disability.
- Dementia.
- Younger Onset Alzheimer’s Disease.
- Motor Neurone Disease.
- Complex Seizure Management.
Hospital Visits and Advocacy
When our clients (many of whom are non-verbal) require a visit to the hospital, our staff escort them to provide reassurance and to advocate on their behalf. We’re keen to assist more people who require higher-level care to move out of the hospital environment and start living a more supported independent life with reliable nursing and disability supports.
