Pioneer Nursing To Connect With Community At Seniors Expo

Pioneer Nursing Services has been a cornerstone of the Mackay Shire for many years and hopes to soon become the first choice in disability care through setting new standards for holistic support and environment.

With an extremely dedicated and caring team, the Brisbane Street home care provider fosters inclusivity, innovation, and a sense of belonging each and every day to greatly benefit the lives of their clients, their families and the broader community.

Pioneer Nursing Services’ Founder and Director, Simon McMahon has supported the lives of countless families as a Registered Nurse and now offers superior healthcare to the local Mackay Shire.

“Pioneer Nursing are proud to have a dedicated team of experienced support workers and nurses who deliver quality care with a personal touch,” explained Simon.

“Being local means our team can visit you in your own home, offering care that’s personal, and responsive without the stress of long call centre waits or complicated websites – we also employ local staff, which not only supports our community through jobs, but ensures you’re cared for by people who know and understand the region.”

A registered home care provider under My Aged Care and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, Pioneer Nursing will make their official debut at the annual Mackay Seniors Expo next Tuesday, the 14th of October.

“Although we’ve been supporting the community for over two years, this is our very first Seniors Expo,” Simon said.

“We wanted to be part of it to raise awareness about Pioneer Nursing Services as a local home care provider and to connect face-to-face with more seniors and their families.”

The friendly Pioneer Nursing staff hope to warmly welcome attendees next week to share clear, honest advice about the care and services available in the community and to answer any questions and guide attendees through each of their options.

“Don’t be afraid to ask questions. The more you ask, the better you’ll understand the support that’s available to you and your family,” Simon urged.

The Mackay Seniors Expo will provide the community with an opportunity to connect directly with care providers in person to make learning about essential services far more accessible and personal than through a computer screen.

“Compassion and respect are at the heart of everything we do,” added Simon.

“Our support workers and nurses are reliable, treat every person with dignity, and respect the fact that they are coming into your home to provide care and support.”

Pioneer Nursing are committed to staying engaged with the local community through regular contact with clients, local providers and offering services directly available to veterans and their families.

“By working closely with local RSL sub-branches, we hope to strengthen connections and ensure veterans and their loved ones receive the support they need,” said Simon.
