What is Private Duty Nursing?
In contrast to Comfort Keepers' traditional in-home care services, this type of nursing provides one-on-one medical care to an individual in the home or in a facility. Private duty nurses provide the higher level of care while working in tandem with the caregiver who is providing companion-homemaker services along with personal care services. Our goal is to provide the customized care needed by a client, all from one agency.
How Comfort Keepers Can Help
Our skilled team consists of licensed practical nurses (LPN's) and registered nurses (RN's) that can perform many medical tasks such as the following:
- making sure your senior is taking their medications on time by either setting up a pill box, pill dispensing machine, or creating a calendar and setting an alarm
- administering medications such as topical creams, drops, injections, nebulizers, inhalants, or oxygen
- performing personal medical care tasks such as checking oral or nail health
- 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
- providing care training for family members and an emergency plan
Comfort Keepers’ nurses are available to assist clients with regularly scheduled private duty nursing visits or hourly care for extended shifts, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We work closely with the client’s medical team and family to provide extended support. Reach out today by filling out our online form or ringing our team. (855) 335-3155.
