Nursing and Clinical Care at Home for Seniors

As people age, many begin to experience complex health conditions that require regular monitoring and professional attention. However, this doesn’t always mean leaving the comfort of home. With in-home nursing and clinical care, seniors in North Melbourne can access the health support they need—without the stress of frequent hospital or clinic visits.

What Is In-Home Nursing Care?

In-home nursing care allows qualified nurses to provide professional clinical services directly in a person’s home. EnableU offers these services to seniors receiving a Home Care Package or as part of a private care arrangement across Banyule, Darebin, and Merri-bek.

Services May Include:

• Medication management and administration
• Wound care and dressing changes
• Monitoring chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, heart disease)
• Catheter and continence management
• Ongoing health assessments
• Palliative or end-of-life care at home

Benefits of At-Home Nursing for Older Adults

1. Avoid Unnecessary Hospital Visits

With nurses visiting your home regularly, many common issues can be managed before they escalate—helping you avoid stressful, costly hospital stays.

2. Individualised Care Plans

Our clinical coordinators work with your GP and specialists to deliver nursing care tailored to your health needs and goals.

3. Familiar Surroundings = Better Outcomes

Research shows that seniors recover better at home, with lower risks of hospital-acquired infections or confusion due to unfamiliar environments.

Coordinating Nursing With Your GP and Family

Real-Life Example: Supporting a Client With Diabetes

One EnableU client, aged 82 from Preston, required support managing insulin injections and foot care. Our nurse visited three times weekly to administer medication and monitor vitals—working alongside a podiatrist and care worker to maintain quality of life at home.

Can I Use My Home Care Package for Nursing?

Yes. If you’re approved for a Level 3 or Level 4 package, you can allocate funds to clinical care services. EnableU helps you manage the budget and reporting requirements so you get the most from your plan.
