Skilled Nursing is the cornerstone of your medical recovery at home, managed by licensed Registered Nurses (RNs) who bring hospital-level expertise to your living room. Our nurses implement and oversee the physician-ordered plan of care, providing essential, hands-on medical treatments such as administering complex medications (including injections and IV therapy), caring for surgical wounds, and managing drainage tubes or catheters. They are responsible for ensuring all medical procedures are performed safely and correctly, significantly reducing the risk of infection or complications.
The nurse acts as your central clinical coordinator, closely monitoring your vital signs and overall condition to quickly identify any adverse changes or symptoms. They communicate immediately with your physician and educate you and your family on the critical warning signs related to your specific condition, such as heart failure or diabetes. This proactive approach to education and monitoring empowers you to manage your health confidently and helps prevent unnecessary emergency room visits or rehospitalizations.
