Home Nursing Service

There are times when some patients need a little further help and support after they are discharged home from hospital. The Beltana Home Nursing Service continues and complements the care that you have received whilst in the Albury Wodonga Private Hospital and ensures that a high standard of nursing care is maintained at home.

For more than a decade, Beltana Home Nursing Service has provided nursing care to patients in their own homes in the Albury/Wodonga region. Beltana is available seven days a week and provides the following services:

• Medication administration
• Dressings
• Assistance with hygiene and showering
• Home Care assessments
• Home assessments prior to hip or knee replacements
• Palliative Care
• Liaising with community groups and other healthcare providers such as Meals on Wheels, Home Help
• Discharge planning

Beltana Home Nursing Service is available to all patients upon referral from their doctor or nurse. Many private hospital funds including the Department of Veteran's Affairs (DVA), cover the cost of the home nursing service. We recommend that all patients, with or without private health insurance who intend on using the service, discuss their insurance details and potential costs with our Customer Services staff.

The Beltana Home Nursing Service provides a caring and professional approach to nursing care in your own home. We are committed to ensuring that the highest standard of nursing care, education and support is available to you and your family during this time.
