Skilled Nursing
What is Home Care Skilled Nursing?
A home health care skilled nurse (skilled nursing) must be a trained medical professional licensed to practice in their state and be equipped to provide services in keeping with a physician’s plan of care for a home health care patient, administering medically necessary services to treat, prevent or manage the patient’s condition. These services may include the following:
- Wound Care
- Catheters
- PICC line dressing changes
- Feeding tubes and other forms of nutrition
- Mediports
- Blood draws and Injections
- Health Monitoring
- Patient Education
In addition to these tasks, home health nurses help facilitate communication between the patient’s physician and caregivers. Continuity of care is important and a home health care nurse helps keep the lines of communication open, helping teach all involved parties how to properly manage the patient’s condition.
Our home health care nurses provide an extra layer of support and work in partnership with your primary doctor and other health care providers.
