Community Nursing Services

Community nursing, also known as in home nursing care, provides clinical nursing support in the comfort of your own home. You may need community nursing after a hospital stay, surgery, illness, or if you are managing a long term or complex health condition. Kanda’s nurses work closely with you, your family, and your healthcare team to support recovery, manage health needs, and help you stay safely at home for longer.

Kanda provides a wide range of community nursing services delivered at home, including wound care, medication management, IV therapy, and continence and stomal therapy. Care can include simple and complex dressings, infection prevention, medication administration, continence assessments, and clinical monitoring. Services are tailored to your needs and can be delivered as a short term or ongoing support.
