In-home care allows your loved ones to get help without having to leave the comfort of their own home or sacrifice their independence. At Nova Home Care & Staffing we understand that having a family member taking care of your loved ones may not be enough. If a higher level of care is required, and you wish to remain in your home avoiding a hospital or nursing facility, our skilled nursing staff can provide that care.
What are Skilled Nursing Care Services?
Skilled nursing care is a high level of medical care that must be provided by licensed health professionals, such as registered nurses (RNs) and physical, speech, and occupational therapists. These services can be necessary over the short term for rehabilitation from an illness or injury, or they may be required over the long term for patients who need a high level of care on a frequent or constant basis due to a chronic medical condition. Examples of skilled nursing services include wound care, intravenous (IV) therapy, injections, catheter care, physical therapy, and monitoring of vital signs and medical equipment.
