What Is Home Care Nursing?
Home care nursing is a care at home service provided by skilled medical professionals. These in-home nursing services allow for care in the most comfortable setting – home – and are ideal for older adults who:
- Are recovering from a surgical procedure, stroke, heart attack, or other medical condition
- Have ongoing chronic care needs, such as management of conditions like diabetes, cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and many others
- Have difficulty with mobility or other issues that make it challenging to leave the home
- Require assistance with understanding and ensuring doctors’ orders are followed
- Or have any of a wide range of medical needs that they would prefer to have managed at home
Home nursing services include the following specific types of care and assistance:
