Overview
About Skilled Nursing
Skilled nursing covers any medical care that requires the training and judgment of a licensed nurse: evaluating a changing health condition, organizing complex medications, treating wounds and catheters, administering IV infusions or injections, and teaching you how to care for yourself safely. Every visit follows a care plan signed by your doctor.
Just as importantly, your nurse is someone you can talk to openly. They explain medical terms in plain English, take time to answer your family's questions, and keep your doctor updated so your treatment plan adapts as you recover.

What to expect
Your care, step by step.
Step 1: Referral & orders
Your doctor sends orders over, or you give us a call and we reach out to your doctor's office for you.
Step 2: Nurse assessment
One of our registered nurses visits you at home, listens to how you are doing, and goes over your medical needs.
Step 3: Your plan of care
We partner with your doctor to map out the right services, visit schedule, and recovery goals for you.
Step 4: Care & coordination
Your team visits on schedule, shows your family how to help, and keeps your doctor in the loop as you get stronger.
Are all of your nurses licensed?
Yes. All skilled nursing visits are performed by licensed nurses working directly under your physician's signed plan of care.
How often will my nurse visit?
Your doctor sets your visit schedule based on your medical needs. Most patients have more frequent visits during their first couple of weeks home and fewer visits as they feel stronger.
