Registered Nurse-led support, so your support workers can safely help with your health-related care at home and in the community.
Registered Nurse-led support, so your support workers can safely help with your health-related care at home and in the community.
Mighty Orchid Services is registered with the NDIS Commission to provide community nursing care for people with high support needs.
Some health-related tasks can be safely done by support workers once a Registered Nurse has assessed the person, written a plan and trained the workers.
This is called delegation and supervision of care. Our Registered Nurse stays involved, checks in regularly and updates the plan as your needs change.
Nursing supports can be funded through your NDIS plan. Your support coordinator or Local Area Coordinator can talk to you about your plan.
Our RN assesses your health needs, and reassesses them over time.
An environmental assessment to make sure care can be given safely where you live.
A written plan for each health task, updated as your needs change.
Support workers are trained and checked for competency in each task.
Our RN keeps oversight of the care and reports on how it is going.
