Skilled nursing, in your living room
A registered nurse at the kitchen table sees what a 15-minute clinic visit never will: the medications scattered in three drawers, the loose rug on the stairs, the swelling that started Tuesday. That is why care at home works, and why physicians order it.
What our nurses do at home
- Comprehensive assessments at start of care and every visit, reported to your physician
- Wound care including surgical sites, pressure injuries and diabetic ulcers
- Injections and IV therapy, antibiotics, hydration and B12, without a single waiting room
- Catheter, ostomy and drain care, maintenance, changes and teaching
- Medication reconciliation and management, the single best readmission preventer we know
- Chronic disease monitoring for CHF, COPD, diabetes and kidney disease
- Lab draws and vitals with results routed straight to the ordering physician
- Patient and family teaching so confidence grows between visits, not anxiety
Who skilled nursing helps
Physicians across Clark County order our nursing for patients who are recovering or managing illness at home, including after joint replacement, cardiac procedures and stroke, during cancer treatment, with new diagnoses that need teaching and titration, and whenever wounds refuse to close on their own.
To qualify under Medicare, leaving home must take considerable effort. If that sounds like your situation, you likely qualify, and the visits cost you nothing.

Questions about nursing at home
Does Medicare pay for skilled nursing at home?
Yes. With a physician's order, a skilled need and homebound status, Original Medicare covers intermittent skilled nursing visits at 100 percent, with no copay. We verify eligibility free before care begins and coordinate the order directly with your doctor.
What can a home health nurse actually do in the house?
Nearly everything an outpatient clinic does: head-to-toe assessments, wound care, injections, IV antibiotics and hydration, catheter and ostomy care, lab draws, medication management, diabetic teaching, vital sign and symptom monitoring, and direct reporting to your physician after every visit.
How often will the nurse visit?
The plan of care your physician signs sets the frequency, commonly one to three visits per week, adjusted as the patient improves. For higher needs we layer in home health aide visits and, if appropriate, private-duty nursing for longer shifts.
Are your nurses employees?
Yes. Every RN and LPN is our W-2 employee, Nevada-licensed and verified, background checked and fingerprinted, covered by our liability insurance and supervised by our Director of Nursing. We never subcontract nursing care.
