Discover How Private Duty Nursing and a Home Health Care Nurse Can Help You in Traverse City, MI

The next level of private duty nursing for your loved one in need of a home health care nurse in Traverse City & Petoskey, MI or the surrounding area

Your home health care nurse understands that sometimes a family caregiver or home health aide just cannot meet the increasing medical needs of a loved one. This can put a great deal of strain on families and ultimately reduce your senior loved one's quality of life. When a family caretaker is not enough, private duty nursing can help. Your specially trained nurse provides the level of care a loved one needs to stay safely at home rather than in a nursing facility or hospital, including Alzheimer's home care, transitional care, respite care, end of life care and much more. We can be reached at (231) 222-5376.

What is Private Duty Nursing?

The difference between this and our traditional in-home care services is that this type of nursing cares for an individual one-on-one in their home or in a facility. Personal care assistants and private duty nurses provide a higher standard of care in conjunction with a caregiver who is also providing companionship and homemaking services in addition to personal care services. Our goal is to provide a client with the customized care that they require, all from a single source in Traverse City.

How We Can Help

Home health licensed practical nurses (LPNs) and registered nurses (RNs) can provide private duty care, which permits them to extend a wide range of medical tasks, including the following:

  • Organizing medicine in weekly pill boxes or dispensing devices to make sure that medicine is given at the right amounts and at the right time.
  • Dispensing medicine like oral and topical ones, eye and eardrops, injections, nebulizers, inhalants, and oxygen.
  • Offering individualized medical care, such as nail trims, oral cavity suctioning and bowel supervision.
  • Supplying insulin syringes, helping to understand blood sugar results and physician-ordered sliding scale dosages, and drawing up and/or mixing insulin for later use.
  • Supporting ostomy and catheter hygiene.
  • Thoughtful and caring education for members of the family who assisted with caregiving.
