Practical Nursing:
General nursing applies to those that require ongoing medical maintenance. Medication management and monitoring along with blood pressure maintenance play a key role in the balance of a patient's health and recovery.

Angels offers regular visits of approximately one hour to check vitals and ensure the patient's well being and monitor the effects of medication. These visits range from daily to weekly depending on the individual needs of the patient.

Health management:
Should a patient fall ill outside their current 'disability' then Angels will contact and liaise with the family and the doctor regarding new treatments, required medication and daily monitoring if necessary.

24 hour care:
If required Angels can arrange an exclusively packaged 24 hour caregiving service at an economical rate. All caregivers recommended by Angels have appropriate qualifications and/or extensive experience. 24 hour care includes basic home maintenance and in some cases cleaning and cooking. However, the carers are employed by the patient/family to look after the health of the patient and not to be used as chars.
