| Panacea Healthcare provides a range of home care services that are available privately as well as through DHB and ACC care programs. Whether you live in your home or in a care facitlity we will develop a personalised plan to meet your needs.
* 1 - 24 Hour Care | Urgent Service Outside Normal Office Hours Care can be provided from 1 to 24 hours, depending on a client’s need. Our 24 hour urgent service means care can be accessed at any time, including weekends and holidays. * Serious Injury Over eighty percent of the support we provide for ACC claimants is for people who are living with a serious injury such as a traumatic brain injury or a serious spinal injury. We build a team of support workers with the right skills to ensure that a client is always supported effectively and safely. We offer family members the opportunity to receive specialist training and support from our team and also the management of payroll for family. * Palliative Care We help families support their loved ones. Our support is completely flexible, from one hour support during the day to help with some cleaning or shopping, or providing assistance needed during the night to allow others to rest. This service could be funded by the Ministry of Health under the Carer Support programme, funded by Hospice or paid privately. * Companionship For individuals who live alone and who feel isolated our support workers provide companionship through personal visits to the home to share a cup of tea or go for a walk. They also accompany clients on outings or to special events. * Over-Night Support: Sleepover Support | Bed n Breakfast From a little support to comprehensive support, Panacea’s overnight care packages enable clients to receive the level of support they wish. The Sleepover Support service provides security for clients during night-time, starting anytime in the evening for up to 8 hours. The Bed ‘n’ Breakfast service gives that ‘extra’ comfort by providing an extended period of support for up to 12 hours. * Personal Care Our trained staff can help with personal hygiene care such as grooming, washing and bathing, basic hand and foot care, dressing, assistance with eating and helping clients move safely into chairs, beds or vehicles. * Home Support | Meal Preparation Panacea Healthcare makes living at home easier for individuals who need assistance with routine household activities. We provide services that include light housekeeping, meal preparation and laundry.
