V And A Nursing Agency Durban Contact Details

Durban is in the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality, KwaZulu-Natal, and nursing agencies there place carers and registered nurses with families, frail care homes and hospitals.

We could not verify contact details for an agency trading as V & A Nursing Agency in Durban. No official website or first-party contact route could be found, so this page does not list a number.

ContactDetails.co.za publishes contact details read from an organisation’s own official channels. Where we cannot do that, we say so rather than repeat a number from a directory.

Why there are no contact numbers on this page

Small agencies often trade without a website, and numbers attached to them in online directories are frequently personal mobile numbers that have moved on. We do not publish those.

For home nursing this matters more than usual. A wrong number here does not waste a phone call. It can put an unverified person in a home with somebody vulnerable.

Checking any nursing agency or carer

Whichever agency you use, the checks below are the ones that matter, and they are the same checks a hospital would make.

• Confirm South African Nursing Council registration for anyone placed with a vulnerable person, and confirm it for the individual, not for the agency. It takes one call, and it is the only real check available to a family.
• Ask what category the person is registered in. A registered nurse, an enrolled nurse and a carer are different qualifications with different scopes.
• Agree the scope in writing before the placement starts: hours, duties, medication handling, and what happens if the person does not arrive.
• Ask who supervises the placement and who to call at night or over a weekend.
• Check who carries insurance for the placement, and get that in writing too.

Paying for home nursing

• Pay the agency, not the individual carer, unless you have deliberately contracted the carer directly and understand that you then become the employer.
• Be cautious of a large upfront payment before any care has been delivered.
• Keep invoices and a record of hours worked. Disputes about home care almost always turn on hours.
• If a medical scheme is contributing, confirm before the placement which codes it will pay and at what rate.

If something goes wrong

Raise it with the agency first, in writing, and keep a copy. Set out what was agreed, what happened, and what you want done.

Where the concern is about a nurse’s conduct or registration, the South African Nursing Council is the body that holds the register and deals with professional conduct. Where a person has been harmed, that is a matter for the police as well.

Avoiding fake nursing agency numbers

Care placements are arranged under time pressure, usually after a hospital discharge, which is exactly when people skip checks.

• Do not accept a carer whose registration you cannot confirm, however urgent the discharge.
• Be wary of an agency that will not give you a physical address or a registered business name.
• Never pay a deposit into a personal account for a placement that has not started.
• Verify the person who arrives is the person who was booked, and see identification.

Why does this page have no phone number?

Because we only publish numbers read from an organisation’s own official channels. Where there is no official source, we say so instead of copying a directory listing.
