Skilled Home Care Solutions
What is Skilled Care? Skilled Care is care that can only be provided by or under the supervision of licensed medical personnel such as a registered nurse (RN) or licensed practical nurse (LPN). It may also include care from a physical therapist, occupational therapist, or nutritionist. It is distinct from other care provided in the home because it is medical care that might otherwise be provided in a clinic or hospital setting and very often prevents hospitalization or re-admittance. CareAparent skilled professionals perform a variety of duties in the home, using their training, experience, and judgment to deliver specialized, client-centered care.
Skilled Nurse Visits
… a licensed medical professional, either registered nurse (RN) or licensed practical nurse (LPN), is visiting regularly to manage and improve clinical outcomes for clients in the home while monitoring their physical and mental health conditions.
Medication Management
… good health is following a medication schedule and understanding the risk associated with each medication to avoid unnecessary admission or rehospitalization. RNs or LPNs can assist in managing medications and schedules, set up medications in boxes and/or dispensers, monitor and order refills, and ensure medications are being taken in the proper dose and at the correct times each day.
