Care at home in Veyangoda.Everyday help for a parent,and wound dressing by a registered nurse.
Two services, one small practice. Sujeewa Senadheera is a Registered Nurse with more than thirty years in nursing, and she is responsible for both. If you are arranging care for a parent and you are not sure what is needed, call first. There is no charge for the conversation.
Veyangoda and across the Gampaha district. Someone answers the phone between 7am and 10pm.
Every visit is Sujeewa’s responsibility. You are told who is coming, by name, before they arrive.
Suwasetha is run by Sujeewa Senadheera, a Registered Nurse with experience in medical, surgical, plastic and reconstruction units in government hospitals. She sees the case, she decides what it needs, and the work is done under her name.
Her assistant, T.A. Ranjana Dharmasuriya, is a support staff member who delivers doctor-prescribed
medication to patients. Who attends a visit depends on what it needs.
There is no dispatcher and no call centre. You will not open the door to someone you were not told about.
Only wound dressing needs no referral. Every other service needs a doctor’s referral.
All dressing materials are brought by the nurse, sterilised, at no extra cost.
Before you decide anything
Talk to the nurse first. There is no charge for it.
Describe the wound, or the situation, in your own words. Medical words are not needed. You will get a straight answer on whether a visit is needed, what it would involve, and roughly what it would cost.
No charge, and no obligation to book anything afterwards.
If it is not something we should be handling, we will say so.
Call, or send a WhatsApp message, whichever is easier from where you are.
Describe the situation in your own words. You do not need the medical words for it.

A time is agreed
You are told who will be coming and roughly when. If that changes, you are told before the time, not after it.

The nurse arrives
With sterile equipment, and everything needed for the dressing.
Have the patient ready for the visit. The nurse will tell you if anything extra is needed.
4
The wound is cleaned and dressed
Unhurried, and with as little discomfort as possible. Anyone who wants to stay in the room is welcome to stay.
5
You are told what was found
What the wound looks like today, what to watch for before the next visit, and when that visit is due.
After the visit, you get a short WhatsApp message on how the wound looks, with a photo where the patient agrees.
The nurse tells you how many visits are needed, based on your doctor’s recommendation, and reviews it as care continues.
Find your town. The first 5 km is free; the charge is per visit and covers the nurse’s travel, not the treatment.
