In Private Duty home care, there are two types of providers of these services.

Non-medical (non-skilled) services: This includes companionship, cooking and cleaning, light housekeeping, personal care (such as grooming) etc.

Medical (skilled) services: This includes all of the non-skilled services plus hands-on, medical services administered by a Registered Nurse or Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). This could include medication management, post-hospitalization care, wound cleaning and more.

Being able to provide skilled services means the full-spectrum of care. It gives a home care business owner the advantage of being able to service all types of clients, widening your potential base of clientele. Professional Referrals like hospitals will prefer your business over other non-skilled providers as you can provide premium, medical services as the patient is discharged and ensure they have optimal care after a surgery and reduce the risk of readmission. 

Nurse Next Door’s model is to provide a full-spectrum of services to best meet our clients’ needs and ultimately allow our clients to age at home, happily, safely and healthily.
