Home health service
Skilled nursing at home in the San Gabriel Valley
A registered nurse manages wounds, medications, injections, and post-hospital recovery in your own home. Every visit follows the plan of care your physician signs, and changes are reported back to your doctor.
What the nurse does in your home
A registered nurse carries out the skilled tasks your physician ordered and watches for changes between visits.
- Cleans, dresses, and monitors wounds, including surgical and pressure wounds, and tracks how they heal.
- Manages medications and teaches you and your family how and when to take them safely.
- Gives injections and other ordered treatments, such as insulin or anticoagulant injections.
- Monitors recovery after surgery or a hospital stay, checking vital signs and watching for complications.
- Provides catheter and ostomy care and teaches the routines that keep them clean.
- Assesses for changes in your condition and reports them to your physician.
Who this helps
Skilled nursing is for patients who need clinical care at home, not around-the-clock supervision.
After a hospital stay
You were discharged but still need wound care, monitoring, or new medications managed at home while you recover.
After surgery
A surgical site needs regular dressing changes and watching, and you need teaching on the new routine.
A new diagnosis or medication change
A new condition or a change in medications calls for a nurse to set up the plan and teach your family how to follow it.
Covered by Medicare
Home health visits are covered by Medicare for eligible patients with a physician's order. No surprise bills for covered care.
