When your loved one needs medical attention but prefers the comfort of home, skilled nursing offers expert care without the hospital stay. At Ballinger Home Health & Hospice, our licensed nurses provide in-home clinical services with professionalism, warmth, and compassion.
What Is Skilled Nursing at Home?
Skilled nursing involves medical care delivered by licensed nurses under a physician’s guidance. Unlike non-medical support, skilled nursing includes advanced procedures and clinical oversight to manage serious health conditions.
Common Services Provided:
- Vital sign monitoring and health assessments
- Wound care and dressing changes
- Medication management and injections
- Chronic disease monitoring (e.g., diabetes, heart failure)
- Catheter or ostomy care
- Support after hospital discharge or surgery
These services are typically prescribed and often covered by Medicare or insurance when eligibility criteria are met. Learn more: Visit FAQs
