Countrycarers is a nursing agency which provides professional and compassionate nursing and personal care for people in their own homes, from long and short term nursing care, to companion care for tea and company; daily, weekly or monthly nanny minding for children, teenagers, and young adults; domestic housekeeping services including washing, ironing, changing bed linen, bedmaking, and general maintenance cleaning of a home or unit; and handyman and garderner services for minor maintenance and repairs around the home.
Long term, short term or respite care is available 24 hours a day in Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong, the Illawarra, the South Coast, the Southern Highlands and Canberra.
Under the supervision of a Registered Nurse, we design individual care plans for our clients that reflect our commitment to providing the best possible caring techniques in the comfort and safety of familiar surroundings.
Countrycarers philosophy is based strongly on patient-centred care, which means that the needs and patterns of the patient’s daily life is what the care revolves around. Patient confusion caused by constantly changing staff is minimised by our policy of a small, 3-member team working closely with a single patient.
Nursing requirements are supervised and monitored by a qualified Registered Nurse. An onsite supervisor who is a member of the care team supervises each care team. The Housekeeping Manager monitors housekeeping, and household budgeting and expenses are looked after by Countrycarers Client Services Manager.
