At Home Private Duty Nursing Services in Grand Junction, CO
Comfort Keepers provides private duty nursing services in the comfort of home in Grand Junction, Fruita, Palisade, the Redlands, and surrounding areas
The aim of private duty nursing care is to give your elderly loved one the assistance needed to lead a fulfilling, healthy, and comfortable life at home. When a person reaches an older age, the level and variety of care that they require might exceed what is possible for caregivers to provide, which is why we provide private duty nurses who visit clients' homes to administer medication and provide other medical care.
What is Private Duty Nursing?
Private duty nurses, as opposed to traditional in-home care services, provide one-on-one medical care. They are qualified to provide this care in the patient's own home, as well as in a facility such as a hospital or nursing home. They can provide advanced care while collaborating with the family. Our goal is to provide our clients with the customized care they require from a single source.
Next-Level Care for Your Family Member
We hire highly trained, qualified staff to provide specialized care. Our private duty nurses are either licensed practical nurses (LPNs) or Registered Nurses (RNs).
And, our nurses can work in conjunction with traditional in-home caregivers to provide the same uplifting care services that make Comfort Keepers a provider of choice. We believe that every client, no matter their age or acuity, can experience more connection, purpose and hope with quality care from a Comfort Keepers care team.

- Oral medication setup
- Administer medication including injections, eye drops, inhalants, and oral medications
- Monitoring heart rate and oxygen levels
- Ostomy and catheter hygiene
- Removal/replacement of aseptic dressings
