WHAT'S INCLUDED

Our Private Duty Nursing Services

Our private duty nursing services cover a full range of skilled clinical care, delivered on your schedule by licensed RNs and LPNs.

Medication Management

Our licensed nurses make sure medications are taken safely, correctly, and on time. We handle medication setup, injections, ongoing monitoring, and coordination with your physicians and pharmacy to prevent errors, manage side effects, and protect overall health.

Proper wound care is critical to healing and preventing infection. Our nurses deliver expert wound assessment, treatment, and ongoing monitoring for surgical wounds, pressure injuries, diabetic ulcers, and more, helping promote faster recovery and reduce complications.

Living with a chronic condition takes consistent, attentive care. Our nurses support seniors managing diabetes, heart disease, COPD, and more with hands-on monitoring, education, and a personalized care plan, helping reduce hospital visits and improve day-to-day quality of life.

We provide professional IV therapy at home, including medications, hydration, and nutrients. Our nurses ensure safe delivery, watch closely for any reaction, and coordinate with your physician to support recovery and ongoing treatment.

Catheter & Tracheostomy Care

Our nurses provide skilled management of specialized clinical needs, with training, precision, and respect for your loved one’s dignity. This includes catheter care to prevent infection and ensure comfort, tracheostomy care for safe airway management, and ostomy and feeding-tube support for daily health and nutrition.

KNOW THE SIGNS

When Is It Time for Private Duty Nursing?

Private duty nursing is the right fit when you want skilled clinical care at home with more flexibility and continuity than occasional visits can offer. If you or a loved one are experiencing any of the situations below, it may be time to call Health at Home.

Returning Home from the Hospital or Surgery

The transition from hospital to home is a critical time. Skilled nursing care ensures proper follow-up, medication management, wound care, and monitoring to reduce the risk of complications or readmission.
Managing a Complex or Chronic Condition

Conditions like diabetes, heart disease, COPD, or other chronic illnesses often require ongoing clinical oversight. Our nurses provide education, monitoring, and care coordination to help manage symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
New or Worsening Symptoms

Shortness of breath, swelling, dizziness, confusion, or sudden changes in health shouldn’t be ignored. Skilled nurses can assess symptoms early, provide care, and communicate with physicians before issues escalate.
Need for Wound Care or In Home Medical Treatment

If you or a loved one has a surgical incision, pressure injury, or chronic wound, professional care is essential for proper healing. The same applies for treatments like injections or IV therapy that require clinical expertise.
Difficulty Managing Medications

Multiple prescriptions, changing dosages, or confusion about medication schedules can be dangerous. Skilled nursing ensures medications are administered safely and effectively.
Decline in Strength, Mobility, or Function

If everyday activities are becoming more difficult after illness or injury, in-home rehabilitation services, like physical, occupational, or speech therapy, can help restore independence.
Frequent Hospital or ER Visits

Repeat trips to the hospital are often a sign that more consistent medical oversight is needed. Skilled nursing care at home can help stabilize health and reduce unnecessary visits.

Expert Care, Right Where You Need It

You don’t have to manage complex medical needs alone, or wait on an approval to get help. With private duty nursing from Health at Home, skilled RN and LPN care comes to you on your schedule, keeping your loved one safe, supported, and comfortable at home.
