Nursing at home

A qualified nurse at home, for a 12 or 24-hour shift.

Extended nursing care at home in 12-hour or 24-hour shifts, for someone recovering from surgery, living with a long-term condition, or needing care that a family cannot safely provide around the clock. Shifts are continuous, and a 24-hour shift starts at midnight on each service date.

What this treats

  • 12-hour shift
  • 24-hour shift

What a visit looks like

  1. AssessmentThe first visit is spent understanding the problem — what hurts, what you cannot do yet, and what you need to get back to.
  2. TreatmentHands-on work and guided exercise, in your own rooms, using what you already have rather than clinic equipment you do not.
  3. Between visitsYou are left with something to practise. Most of the progress happens here, not during the hour someone is with you.

Nursing — questions we get

What is the difference between a nurse and a GDA?

A nurse is qualified to carry out clinical procedures — injections, catheters, feeding tubes, wound care. A General Duty Assistant supports daily living: moving, bathing, feeding, keeping watch. Many homes need the second more often than the first.

Can we book a single night?

Yes. A 12-hour shift can be booked on its own, and longer arrangements are booked as a package once you know the pattern you need.
