What is an in-home nurse?
An in-home nurse is a highly trained and skilled professional who provides private nursing care to clients in a home setting. From the comfort of their clients’ homes, in-home nurses conduct various procedures, including routine testing and monitoring vital signs. A skilled in-home nurse can also assist with chronic disease management and care coordination. They can also provide wound care, including changing bandages and dressings, as well as assist with medication management and infusion therapy.

Skilled Care vs Non-Skilled Care
Skilled and non-skilled care can offer greater peace of mind when your loved one needs help at home. However, understanding the differences can help you better determine what type of care your loved one needs. The biggest difference between skilled care and non-skilled care is that skilled nursing care requires a licensed prescriber order and oversight by a medical professional.
Skilled nurses train and obtain licenses to provide professional medical care, including administering medication, caring for wounds, monitoring vital signs and more.
