Home Care Nurses
What can a home care nurse do?
Home care nurses can do many things for you.
When you call to arrange for a home care nurse, your needs are
evaluated so you can be given the best type of care.
Some people need nurses to come into the home to do dressings or
physical care. Others only need to have blood pressure monitored or
medications to be prepared. Whatever care is needed that can be
performed in a home environment by a nurse, can be done.
Home care nurses can also teach you how to do certain procedures
yourself -or teach a family member. Then, the nurse can follow up to be
sure the procedures are being done properly or to trouble shoot if
there are any problems.
Evaluating your health status is a large part of a home care nurse's
role. The nurse (or nurses) keeps notes about your care and your
progress. Through regular visits, they become familiar with your
situation and can notice if you need more help or you can get by with
less help. They may also be the first to notice if there is something
wrong and call for medical help.
