What is Private Duty Nursing?
Private duty nurses, as opposed to traditional private home care services, provide seniors with one-on-one medical care. They have the training to provide this service either in the patient's own home or in a more formal setting like a hospital or nursing home. Together with the patient's loved ones, they can provide cutting-edge care. Our goal is to provide our clients with the customized care they require from a single source.
In Need of Medical Care? Our Nurses Can Help
This type of care is often recommended for seniors who need medical assistance following an illness or injury, when coming home from the hospital, or when managing chronic conditions. Care is provided by a nurse or other licensed medical professional.

- Administering medications, such as oral and topical medications, eye and eardrops, injections, nebulizers, inhalants, and oxygen

- Filling insulin syringes, interpreting blood sugar results and physician-ordered sliding scale dosages, and drawing up and/or mixing insulin for future injections
- Maintaining ostomy and catheter hygiene
