New Home Care Nursing Service

Added: (Wed Jul 02 2003)

Pressbox (Press Release) - Ambition 24Hours has launched a home nursing and carer service. General and specialist nursing care – such as following an operation, or for children and the elderly - is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at fees from under £13 per hour. An initial medical assessment and schedule of care can be booked by calling 0870 444 3790 or visiting www.ambition24hours.co.uk

Ambition 24hours is a specialist healthcare agency, with some 8,000 nurses and carers throughout the UK. The agency has worked with major hospitals nationwide for six years to meet their needs for experienced medical personnel, according to managing director Penny Streeter. All staff for the new home care service are approved and trained to relevant Government healthcare standards.

The home care service offers professional medical assessment by qualified nurses, through a home visit, in consultation with each patient’s medical practitioner and any nominated family members. Following this, a schedule of care is agreed – which can be provided on a daily or weekly basis, for example – and may be varied or cancelled by the patient with just 24 hour’s notice, as needs change.

Penny Streeter, managing director of Ambition 24Hours, says:-

“ As a busy mother and office worker myself, I know how important it is to be able to arrange care quickly and easily. This is why we have developed a service that offers 24-hours a day booking, by telephone. The launch of the home service by Ambition 24Hours is in response to the increasing number of recommendations we have received from hospitals to provide nursing support to former patients, where they’ve needed specialist nursing or less intensive carer support at home, often at very short notice.”
