Nursing Care
What Is Nursing Care
​
Nursing care is a vital component of the healthcare system, providing essential support to individuals across all stages of life. As trained professionals, nurses offer medical and personal care to patients, helping them manage health conditions, recover from illnesses, and maintain their quality of life. In Singapore, nursing care is particularly important for the elderly, who may require continuous medical attention and assistance in their daily lives.
When Is Nursing Care Required
​
As the population ages, several common health conditions necessitate nursing care for the elderly. These conditions often require the expertise and compassion of skilled nurses to manage effectively:
​
1. Chronic Diseases (Eg. Diabetes)
Many elderly individuals in Singapore suffer from diabetes, which requires regular monitoring of blood sugar levels, timely medication administration, and dietary management. Nurses can help better manage these conditions to prevent complications such as infections and neuropathy.
​​​2. Mobility Issues:
Conditions like Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis can significantly impair mobility and daily functioning. Nursing care includes pain management, physical therapy, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs).
​​
3. Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease:
These cognitive disorders require specialized care to ensure the safety and well-being of affected individuals. Nurses provide support with memory care, behavioural management, and ensuring a safe living environment.
4. Post-Surgical Recovery
Patients recovering from surgeries often require wound care, pain management, and rehabilitation services, all of which nurses are well-equipped to provide.

Finding The Right Nurse
Finding a good nurse is essential for ensuring the well-being and recovery of elderly patients, as they provide accurate health monitoring, develop personalized care plans, and offer emotional support. A skilled nurse not only manages medical needs effectively but also educates patients and their families about disease management and preventive measures. This comprehensive approach enhances the patient's quality of life and promotes better health outcomes.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
