What Is In-Home Skilled Nursing Care?
Skilled nursing care is medical care delivered by a licensed nurse in a patient’s home. It is ordered by a physician and designed for patients who need more than personal support — including wound care, medication management, and monitoring of complex health conditions.
For families in Atlanta and across Georgia, skilled home nursing offers a safe alternative to extended hospital stays or nursing facility placement, allowing patients to recover and receive care in a familiar, comfortable setting.
Our Skilled Nursing Services Include
- Wound care and dressing changes for surgical wounds, pressure ulcers, and diabetic wounds
- Medication management, administration, and education
- IV therapy and infusion support
- Post-surgical recovery care and monitoring
- Catheter and ostomy care
- Vital signs monitoring and chronic disease management
- Diabetes management and insulin administration
- Tracheostomy and ventilator care
- Patient and family education on care plans and home health equipment
Who Benefits from Skilled Nursing Care at Home?
Skilled nursing services are ideal for patients who have recently been discharged from a hospital or rehabilitation facility, individuals managing chronic illnesses such as diabetes or heart disease, patients recovering from surgery who need wound care or IV therapy, and individuals with complex medical needs who require regular monitoring by a licensed nurse.
If you are a discharge planner, case manager, or social worker coordinating a patient’s transition home, First Choice Home Care Agency can create a customized skilled nursing care plan built around that patient’s physician orders.
