Home Nursing
Our nurses are committed to providing the highest quality, safest and most cost-effective care for each client.
What is Home Nursing?
Nursing is a specialized field of healthcare that involves the promotion, protection, and optimization of health and abilities. Nurses provide services such as prevention of illness and injury, facilitation of healing, and alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response.
In regard to home health care, nurses provide their services from the comfort of a client’s home. A home care nurse is actually a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse that is dedicated to providing assistance to the elderly, or any other patient who is unable to leave the home. Common duties of home care nurses include injections, medication administration, wound care, and intravenous services.
Home care nurses specifically provide services related to medical care, as opposed to daily living care which a home-care helper would provide. By providing medical services from within the home, those who have trouble with movement or who do not have the means to visit a specialized medical center have access to professional medical treatments to recover from or manage their conditions and symptoms.
Types of Nursing
Nursing includes a wide variety of services. Some common types of nursing include:
- Registered nursing
- Nurse practitioning
- Home health nursing
- Ventilator care
- Licensed practical nursing
