Our nursing attenders help patients with their activities of daily living and administration or oral medicines. Nursing attenders are usually effective in non-critical and long-term care patients by themselves. In critical cases however, it is advisable to have nursing attender pair up and assist an experienced medical nurse looking after the patient.
Nurses are available for 12-hour and 24-hour (stay-in) duties. Majority of our customers prefer stay-in nurses as this ensures continuity of service and reduction of infection risks.
Depending on the family situation and patient condition, sometimes male nurses are recommended. Please let us know your preference for us to arrange as per your need.
It is not necessary that all nursing assignments are of long duration. Customers may need an experienced nurse for home visit just for a single procedure like nebulization, catheterization or setting-up an IV line. These are covered under our service called short-term nursing (STN) which is only for the duration of the care procedure. A typical STN call would last an hour to a couple of hours depending on the care procedure. - What are the short term nursing or day-care procedures we may get done in home health care?

Patients we serve are either critically ill from an acute condition or suffering from a long-term chronic ailment. Home care has been very effective for palliative care or end of life care as well as critical cases immediately after hospital discharge. - What are the jobs that our nurses won’t be doing?

Our nurses are focused on patient’s physical recovery and mental wellbeing. Any work unrelated to the treatment of the patient is beyond the scope of their assignment. These include any household work like cooking or cleaning and running errands in or out of the patients residence, etc. Please talk to our nursing coordinators for more information regarding this.

Lot of associated factors like comfort of familiar environment, home cooked food, along with proximity and supervision of family members, and zero chances of contamination or infection from other patients (as in a hospital) boosts patient’s morale. That apart, personalized care and constant monitoring by our skilled nurses prevents unwarranted falls, early detection of issues and subsequent escalation to the concerned doctors’ panel are catalysts to speedy recovery at home.
