Private Nursing Care at Home
Ongoing health conditions can be a constant source of worry for a person experiencing symptoms and their loved ones. Private nursing care at home is ideal for individuals with complex health needs, providing expert support and guidance from a qualified carer.
While general assistance is appreciated as we age, an expert eye to monitor health conditions and spot any changes can greatly improve your loved one’s quality of life. Today, we’ll explore Trinity Homecare’s specialist private nursing care at home and how it can support your family.
What Is Private Nursing Care at Home?
Private at-home nursing care involves nurse-led care rather than carer-focused support. A fully trained carer with experience in managing specific health conditions remains in constant communication with your healthcare practitioners to ensure the correct care is provided. Private nursing care at home involves establishing a network of care and health professionals to support an individual’s unique health needs.
Expertly trained carers can perform tasks commonly carried out by nurses, such as catheter and stoma emptying, wound care, peg feeding and ventilator dependency care. This service can be referred to as complex care, where a specialist carer is matched with an individual living with specific complicated health needs.
What Does Private Nursing Care Include?
Private nursing care is a type of home care where an experienced carer will be on hand to support your loved one living with certain health conditions. In order to manage the symptoms and improve your loved one’s quality of life, private nursing care typically includes:
- Management of the specific symptoms associated with certain health conditions
- Specialist understanding and support of a specific health issue
- Monitoring of health conditions and alerting emergency services if required
- Support with daily routines, such as bathing and continence care
- Stoma, catheter and wound care
- Support with peg feeding and ventilator dependency care
- Meal preparation in line with specific dietary needs
- Assistance with light household tasks
- Arranging healthcare appointments
- Transport and accompaniment to appointments
- Coordination of care in line with an individual’s healthcare team
Benefits of Private Nursing Care at Home
While nursing care is traditionally offered in nursing home environments, there are additional benefits to seeking private nursing care in the comfort of one’s own home. The benefits of private at-home nursing care include:
- Specialist one-on-one care: Receive private nursing care from a specialist carer who is fully trained and experienced in your needs.
- Emotional support for loved ones: Family and friends can rest assured knowing that a loved one is being cared for.
- Personalised support: Care plans are tailored around individual health needs and preferences.
- Remain at home: Receive care in comfortable and familiar surroundings without the stress of moving or upheaval.
- Continue being part of your community: Stay close to family, friends and neighbours while staying in the local area and participating in community activities.
- Flexible care options: Several live-in complex care or visiting care options are available depending on your loved one’s requirements and wishes.

Costs of Private Nursing Care at Home
Private nursing care costs at home are similar to those in a care home. However, the added benefits of opting for home nursing care mean that this service can be seen as not only better value for money but also more convenient.
Private nursing care costs are calculated at a weekly price depending on factors such as whether live-in care or visiting care is required and the individual’s health and personal care needs. These weekly costs are all-inclusive, meaning that there are no additional fees to pay.
The costs of private nursing home care can be covered through self-funding, where you pay for care yourself, or through accessing funding. For more information on the costs of live-in care, visit our helpful financing and funding guide.
