Care with Skill PLUS KINDNESS

As our community ages, people are seeking safe alternatives to ensure loved ones are treated with dignity, as well as, skill in a caring environment.

Cue the services of Home Sweet Home Nursing. Committed to ensuring people can stay in the comfort of their own home as long as possible, HSHN has two people at the helm that go above and beyond to maintain high standards of medical assistance. Their quality of nursing experience and expertise offers a unique service which makes a real difference. Between them, Marella Stigler and Karen Kelly have over 60 years’ experience as registered nurses. Their combined expertise covers public and private residential care, community care as well as private home nursing and they maintain an enthusiastic focus on individual care. Marella has personal experience in this area – an experience which inspired the creation of HSHN. “Instead of a hospital atmosphere – which can be noisy and you can’t have family coming in and out, I brought my dad home for six weeks before he died; he had family and his animals around him.” This ensured his peaceful passing within a caring, loving environment. It’s this family atmosphere that is HSHN’s point of difference.

SOUNDBRIDGE:

The Implantable Hearing Solution

Why did they start this service? “We believe in really caring about the person we’re looking after,” Marella emphasises. The pair knows what patients and clients want – and need. This extends to their team of quality carers, numbering 30 and growing with an expanding clientele. “We’re very strict about who works for us: they have to be kind and like what they’re doing.” An obvious advantage of Home Sweet Home Nursing is personal service available around the clock: “Not many agencies can say they have a clinical nurse specialist running their business or available 24/7 – because we care,” enthuses Marella, who is a specialist in aged care, dementia and palliative care as well as being a clinical educator. “I go with staff and teach them on the job, and I’m on the phone 24 hours a day to support them.” The extensive services offered by HSHN cover care in the areas of daily visits, respite, hospice and palliative, dementia, 24-hour (live-in), post-hospital as well as leisure and lifestyle and nursing home support. Such good care often requires nursing supervision to ensure pain relief and comfort. “I’m passionate about what I do and want to keep people at home as long as possible. Everyone loves home!’” Marella says. As Home Sweet Home Nursing’s motto emphasises: “Because You Can’t Always Be There But We Can.”

Being able to hear is one of life’s joys. But sometimes a hearing aid in the ear canal is not possible. For example, you may have a chronic ear infection, which is made worse by having anything in your ear canal. The solution can be an implantable Hearing Device – the SOUNDBRIDGE. SOUNDBRIDGE is a unique middle ear implant system that opens up the world of sound to people with hearing loss. It is ideal for individuals who do not see any improvement with hearing aids or cannot use them for medical reasons. In contrast to a hearing aid, which amplifies sound from outside your ear, SOUNDBRIDGE brings the sound straight to the inside of your ear. The ear canal remains totally unobstructed. If you cannot tolerate foreign

objects in the ear canal, or if you find an obstructed ear canal uncomfortable, you will be relieved to hear about SOUNDBRIDGE. Magnetic force holds the external audio device firmly in place on the head, without the need to be attached to the ear. Users find SOUNDBRIDGE to be extremely comfortable to wear. This innovative way of hearing also ensures great natural sound quality, making it easier to hear the things you love most. SOUNDBRIDGE is one of many possible hearing solutions.
