Nursing

  1. Elder care
    Revera’s nurses have specialized training and expertise in providing home care for elderly, disabled and convalescing seniors.  We will work with you and your family to develop a customized plan of care that ensures your physical and emoitonal needs are met. Whether it’s a short visit, scheduled wellness checks or around-the-clock care, we will ensure that procedures such as IV therapy, foot care, medication administration, and ostomy care are performed in a compassionate manner that respects your dignity.
  2. Pediatric and maternal/newborn care
    Caring for a child can be difficult, especially when the child is medically fragile. We take a family-centred approach to providing care. First, we learn about your family’s beliefs and values, and then directly involve you in planning, setting goals and evaluating the services your child receives from us.

    We provide the education you require regarding your child’s condition; help you with medical treatments such as central line management, wound management and medication administration; provide advice about suitable resources in your community to support you; and advocate on your child’s behalf.

    We also offer prenatal education, support for new parents learning to care for their newborn, as well as health care assistance for older children in school, at camp, or in a daycare setting.
  3. Post-hospital Care
    Have you recently had surgery and are now recovering at home?  We can help you achieve a smooth and speedy recovery. Our nurses will work with you to develop a customized plan for your home care, assess the impact of your surgery on your living environment and daily activities, and deliver any support or treatments you require such as intravenous (IV) therapy.
  4. Wound and ostomy management
    With any wound, the goal is to prevent infection and promote healing so that you can safely return to your daily activities. Our nurses have the expertise to deal with a variety of wounds including ulcers, incisions, burns and skin grafts. We carry out treatments and monitor the condition of wounds based on best practice. We can also provide advice about which supplies and products are best suited to your wound and personal situation. Our goal is to help you maintain an ideal healing environment for the wound and prevent infection during the healing process.

    For more complex wounds, we use an innovative digital photography program. It generates comprehensive assessment information, and facilitates expert advice from an enterostomal therapist (ET) with specialized knowledge and clinical skills in wound, ostomy care and continence management.
  5. Foot care
    Personal independence and comfort can be greatly affected by foot pain and problems. Our nurses can help you maintain optimal foot health through our home care services.
     
    We will assess your feet and provide professional foot care that is tailored to your unique needs. We can treat corns, calluses, or ingrown nails; cut nails; assist with foot exercises; provide advice on proper shoes and pain management; or provide the specialized care you require if you have diabetes, arthritis, gout or other conditions.
  6. Complex care
    Complex health needs or multiple conditions often require specialized home care support, beyond the capabilities of family caregivers. We aim to help our clients understand and live successfully with complex conditions. For example, individuals with diabetes face the challenge of managing a complicated disease and its effect on their health and quality of life. Our nurses can help by teaching you about diabetes, how to give an injection or use your blood sugar testing device, support you in developing meal plans that suit your lifestyle, and put you in touch with diabetic resources in your community.
  7. End-of-life care
    We understand that an end-of-life situation can be complicated and different for each person and their family. Our end-of-life home care is compassionate and responsive to each individual’s specific needs while respecting their cultural, religious and personal preferences. We take care of the whole person - body, mind and spirit. We gently tend to their health care needs, help them understand their health situation and, in collaboration with their medical doctor, manage their pain and other symptoms. We provide physical and emotional support to help both the individual and family cope during this difficult time.
