Skilled Nursing
Access Precise In-Home Skilled Nursing Care on Your Schedule
Skilled nursing refers to a high level of medical care that is provided by licensed health professionals, such as registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs). This type of care is typically needed after a hospital stay, for chronic health conditions, or for those recovering from surgery or an injury. Skilled nursing care can be provided in various settings, including skilled nursing facilities (often referred to as nursing homes), hospitals, and in the patient’s home through home health care services.

Need Skilled Nursing Care?
Skilled nursing care is distinct from custodial care, which includes help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. Skilled nursing services are often covered by health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid, under specific conditions and for limited time periods, based on the medical necessity and the individual’s coverage plan.
