What is Skilled Nursing Care at Home?

Skilled nursing care at home is a professional healthcare service provided by licensed nurses such as Registered Nurses (RNs) or Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) in a patient’s home. These services involve medical care that can only be performed by trained healthcare professionals.

Unlike basic caregivers who help with daily activities like bathing, feeding, or mobility, skilled nurses provide advanced medical support such as IV medication administration, wound care, catheter care, vital sign monitoring, and post-surgical care. This type of care is usually recommended by a doctor or included in a hospital discharge plan to ensure safe recovery and proper medical support at home.

Medication Management: Accurate dispensing, scheduling, dosage monitoring, and patient counselling to prevent medication errors and adverse reactio
Vital Signs Monitoring: Regular assessment of blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation, temperature, and respiratory rate, with timely reporting to the attending physician.

Chronic Disease Management: Structured monitoring and care protocols for patients with diabetes, hypertension, COPD, heart failure, and other long-term conditions.
Post-Operative Recovery: Clinical follow-up care after surgeries including orthopaedic procedures, cardiac surgeries, abdominal operations, and joint replacements.
