Nurses play an integral role in the delivery of quality care in the home. Home nursing care is the promotion of health, assessment, provision of care and treatment of health conditions by supportive, preventive, therapeutic, palliative and rehabilitative means in order to attain or maintain optimal function (Havens 2003). Home health nurses are committed to the provision of accessible, responsive and timely care which allows people to stay in their homes with safety and dignity (Community Health Nurses of Canada 2010).
