Community Nursing Care

Affinity Care WA offers nursing care services to address the disability-related health needs of participants, especially in cases where such care falls outside the typical responsibility of the healthcare system.

Our team of nurses consists of registered, enrolled, or clinical nurses, depending on the specific requirements of the participant. They are equipped to provide support for a wide range of medical needs, including but not limited to ventilator and tracheostomy management, Peg feeding, and medication management.

At Affinity Care WA, we prioritize the qualifications and expertise of our staff.
