Nurse Led Care

What is Nurse Led Care?

Understanding nurse led care and what to expect from our care services
Nurse led care is care that a registered nurse will take the lead on, and this is what we provide with our healthcare services at home. It is often referred to as complex care, and basically, it means that every client will receive a tailored care plan that is devised by a registered nurse. The trained carer will carry out their work on the back of the plan and the registered nurse will ensure any clinical care is monitored. With Homecare services, it is vital that it is nurse led as this ensure that all care provided is safe and suitable for the client. The care plan provided is always tailored to suit the needs of our client, and the condition they are suffering from. There are no two conditions that are exactly the same. For instance, although motor neurone disease is degenerative, some people can live with the condition will require end of life care within just a year or so of diagnosis, others can live with the condition for 10 or more years. It is important that we provide a care plan that is completely tailored and monitored continuously to ensure that it is line with the progression of the disease.

At Harmony Healthcare, our nurse led care involves an initial assessment to discuss the needs of the service user and devising a care plan that is suitable for their needs, no matter what they may be. Ensuring risk assessments are carried out and that the care plan is constantly monitored to ensure it is supporting the client, and the nature of the changes in their condition. The nurse will also provide hands-on care, together with the carer to ensure that the best possible level of care is offered at all times. They will ensure they communicate regularly with the family to ensure that all needs are taken care of and that the goals of the individual are always kept at the forefront of everyone’s minds. Advice and support will usually be required for the family, and our client to ensure they are living as safely and well as possible. Our nurses will also collaborate with other organisations who are providing care to the client, ensuring that their needs are always known and that everyone is working together towards a collective goal.
