Nursing services

A highly skilled team of registered and licensed practical nurses act as the patient’s care manager and provide medical oversight, treatment and support for a wide variety of medical conditions or injuries. Our nurses work closely with the patient’s physician to develop an individualized care plan for each patient. During regularly scheduled visits to the patient’s home, the nurse will provide medical care and teaching to help patients recuperate and coordinate any additional specialized or supportive services.

Arrange for care

At the start of home care services, a registered nurse will come to the home to evaluate the patient’s medical care needs. The nurse will then design a treatment plan based on the evaluation and medical orders from the patient’s physician.
