Our Services
For our pediatric clients—our highly skilled and caring staff can take care of children of different ages, including children who require very complicated care in various settings including home or school.
Private Duty Nursing Services
Private Duty Nursing Services are skilled nursing services that are provided on a continuous basis to clients with complex medical needs of any age in their home. PDN services are provided under the direction of a written individualized order/ plan of care signed by the recipient’s attending physician. These services are provided by Registered nurses (RNs) and / or licensed practical nurses (LPNs). These are services that cannot be performed safely and effectively by nonprofessional personnel in the client’s home. The intricacy of a patient’s medical condition and required course of treatment determine whether care should be provided by an RN or can be provided by an LPN.

The services provided vary according to our client’s needs and the level of support offered by the family. Home Health aides provide non-medical health care at a client’s home. Home health aides assist clients with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as getting in and out of bed, walking, bathing, toileting, and dressing, meal preparation. Some aides have received special training and are qualified to provide more complex services under the supervision of a nursing professional.
