Skilled Nursing Care
Our nurses help with disease management, medication administration, IV drugs, injections, wound care, and lab work.
Overview
Our nurses help with disease management and work closely with physicians providing treatment and monitoring progress of patient's response to treatment. Home health services may be covered 100% by Medicare if the patient meets eligibility requirements — such as an exacerbation of a preexisting condition, acute onset of a new diagnosis, or a new medication.
