Many families are surprised to learn that registered nurses and licensed practical nurses can provide clinical care at home — the same type of care patients receive in a hospital or skilled nursing facility.
What Does a Home Nurse Do?
- Administer IV medications and fluids
- Manage complex wounds
- Monitor chronic conditions (heart failure, diabetes, COPD)
- Teach patients and families to manage medications and equipment
- Coordinate with physicians and other members of the care team
Who Qualifies?
Skilled nursing services are typically covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance when a physician orders them following a qualifying event (hospitalization, surgery, or significant change in condition).
