A unique and “ONCE IN A LIFETIME” situation requires a unique approach
Intensive Home Care Nursing means that your loved one approaching their end of Life in Intensive Care, requiring ongoing ventilation (with Tracheostomy), is able to go home and approach their end of Life in the safety and comfort of their own home.
More than 75% of Australians want to die at home
Recent surveys in Australia suggest that 75 % of Australians want to die at home if given a choice. The reality is however that currently less than 25 % actually do die at home.
We are one of the few services who can provide palliative care at home for Intensive Care Patients!
The reasons for why there aren’t more people dying at home are many fold, including lack of services and including hospitals not wanting to relinquish some of the control they have in a sterile hospital environment!
You can decide what your day looks like because you are in safe hands
You and your loved one decide how to organise your days, away from the pressures and the schedules of an Intensive Care environment, without having to compromise your loved ones safety and your loved ones Quality of- end- of- Life. INTENSIVE CARE AT HOME’s Critical Care Registered Nurses will support you and your loved one in all areas of Quality of end-of Life around the clock, 24/7.
Nothing beats home and you can finally stop putting your life on hold
Our services also provide the opportunity to you and your Family to stop visiting the Intensive Care Unit on a regular basis and our services are specifically tailored to help giving you back valuable and precious time that you can spend with your Family and with your loved one at home, rather than in a busy, noisy and non- Family friendly Intensive Care environment in a Hospital.
INTENSIVE CARE AT HOME’s view is that death is part of life, and unfortunately some people face their end of life in Intensive Care on a ventilator (with Tracheostomy), sometimes suffering for long period of times. Whilst this can be a traumatic time for your loved one, your Family, friends, as well as for hospital staff- the hospital staff in Intensive Care will be working hard and diligent to provide as much support and dignity as possible to the Patient and to the Families during this very difficult and traumatic period.
Death is a very private matter and it should be in an environment where you feel most comfortable
INTENSIVE CARE AT HOME believes that death is a very private matter and if your loved one faces their end of life in Intensive Care requiring mechanical ventilation (with Tracheostomy) and wishes to die in a peaceful and harmonic environment at home with peace of mind, away from a busy, noisy, sterile and non-Family friendly Intensive Care environment, then we can help you.
