Private Duty Nursing
Private duty nursing is a different model of home health care, with more individualized and continuous skilled nursing than intermittent home care services.
Accredited Nursing provides private duty nursing with qualified Registered Nurses (RNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs).
What is the goal of private duty nursing?
- To provide medically necessary skilled nursing care in the home
- To assess, monitor and provide skilled nursing care in the home on an hourly basis
- To assist in the transition of care from an acute setting to the home
- To prevent medical complications resulting in hospitalizations and facility placement
Who may be a candidate for private duty nursing?
