What is Nursing Care?

Nursing care is a specialised form of support for individuals who require 24/7 assistance with their medical, personal, and daily needs. It is particularly suited to those with physical disabilities, long-term health conditions, serious illnesses, or those undergoing intensive rehabilitation. This type of care ensures that residents receive both the clinical expertise and personal attention they need to maintain their health, comfort, and overall quality of life.
