Compassionate Nurse Practitioner care in your home or nursing home

ANDCare provides Nurse Practitioner led palliative care home visits for people living with serious illness or approaching end of life. Our focus is on comfort, dignity, and quality of life, while supporting families and carers every step of the way.

Care is individualised and delivered in the familiarity of your own home. We work alongside your existing healthcare team so you feel supported, informed, and confident.

At ANDCare, we are champions for your care, advocating for your needs and helping ensure decisions reflect what matters most to you.

Palliative Care Services

ANDCare does not replace government-funded services or specialist palliative care teams within the Northern Sydney Local Health District. Instead, we provide additional support, helping to fill gaps in care when needed.

We understand that time in hospital is time away from home. ANDCare works closely with hospital teams to support timely discharge planning and smooth transitions back home.

For those already at home, our focus is on helping you stay there, anticipating needs, planning ahead, and connecting you with the right supports so care feels achievable and well supported.

With over 30 years’ experience across hospitals, specialist palliative care units, residential aged care facilities, and community services, ANDCare brings deep understanding of both the healthcare system and the lived experience of serious illness.

Testimonial

“I engaged Kelly to care for my Mum during her end‑of‑life journey. She was extraordinary. Kelly supported Mum with dignity, respect, and deep compassion, ensuring she was as comfortable as possible throughout the palliative stage. She worked seamlessly with the Nursing Home village nurses, doctor and carers, overseeing the entire process right to the end. Our family is extremely grateful for Kelly’s guidance and support during such a difficult and emotional time.” (February 2026)
