Community Nursing Care

Participants need a variety of medical services, depending on the nature of their disabilities.

Participants are taught how to take care of their health in situations like medicine, wound care, hygiene, and assistance with showering or dressing through the community nursing care program. Typically, a licensed nurse or medical professional is chosen to monitor the patient’s development and adjust the medicine and treatment as necessary.
