A key principle is the shift in perspective regarding the care recipient. In person-centred practices, you are not just a passive recipient; you actively participate in making decisions about your healthcare and the support you need to live your life.

Here’s how this approach manifests in practice:

• You are asked about your preferences and what matters most to you regarding your health and wellbeing.

• Your individuality—such as your likes, dislikes, goals, and values—is taken into account when decisions about your care are made.

• Your entire life and broader social network are considered when planning your support needs.

• Providers and health professionals collaborate with you, listening and adapting to your evolving needs.

• You are given ample time and information to comprehend the choices available to you regarding your options.

We prioritize the safety of all clients by implementing a rigorous verification process for all support workers. This includes:

·         Detailed reference and qualification checks

• Police checks

• Working with Children Checks, when applicable

Additionally, Nurse Karlee provides insurance for all support sessions booked, ensuring peace of mind for both clients and support workers.

Yes, It can be unsettling to have a different carer each time, so with Nurse Karlee you have the option to hire the same support worker regularly if you or your loved one prefer a familiar, friendly face.
