Home Care Nursing - Interior Health

Provided by Interior Health

Providing a variety of at-home and community services to people with acute, chronic, palliative or rehabilitative health-care needs.
The main goal is to teach you and your caregivers how to manage your own health care so that you can live as independently as possible.
If you require acute, chronic or palliative support, we can help with community care nursing services. A community care nurse (a Registered Nurse or Licensed Practical Nurse) will provide care on a non-emergency basis to help with services such as administering medications and changing dressings.

Nursing services may include:
  • Pain management
  • Chronic disease management
  • Intravenous care
  • Ostomy care
  • Post-hospital care
  • Wound care
  • Palliative care
  • Self-care teaching

In some communities, these services may be provided at a community clinic or in your home, if homebound, as appropriate. Home support services are intended to promote independence for those with chronic health conditions, disabilities or terminal illness as well as to provide caregiver rest and relief.

You can access these services for yourself or a family member by contacting a Home & Community Care office in your area or contact a health care provider and/or physician to complete and submit the home health referral form.
