If you or your loved one needs more comprehensive medical care, home nursing is often the right choice.
Home nursing is generally is used for patients who have experienced a severe illness or require care following surgery, and the home health provider coordinates with doctors to create a plan to help the patient recover from an illness or injury and resume their normal activities. This type of care is normally not long-term and is used after a hospital stay, when a patient is stable enough to return to the familiarity of their own home.
With home healthcare and nursing, the care can include:
-
Skilled nursing
-
At-home physical therapy and exercise
-
Pain management and treatment
-
Home health wound care
-
Prescription and medication management
-
Rehabilitation and recovery care
The nature of the illness or ailment will help you to determine the type of care that you or your loved one needs for home private nursing care. In some cases, you may only need care for a few weeks, while severe problems could mean several months of home-based rehabilitation.
