One-to-one nursing: a little extra care goes extra miles

At times, someone in your family require a little bit of extra help and care. Being busy managing personal and professional commitments, you may not be available all the time to take care of their special needs. Instead of feeling guilty, you can consider one-to-one nursing for your loved ones.

One-to-one care can help patients and their families in many ways.

What is one-to-one care?

It involves services provided by a nurse or a carer to one individual, with medical needs.

The scope of care offered under one-on-one nursing depends totally on the needs of the person receiving it. The service can range from simple activities like helping to cook meal or dressing up, to full-fledged tasks like helping a person with their personal hygiene needs and taking care of their medical needs.

The care is not just about physical support, but emotional support as well. This is particularly important for patients who are struggling with serious conditions, or living a lonely life.

Imagine a person confined to their bedroom and not having someone to talk? The presence of that someone in their life is much more important than one can think. For people living an isolated life, a one-on-one nurse becomes family-like.

When to look for one-on-one nursing?
