PROFESSIONAL NURSING SERVICES

To meet the needs of clients with significant medical conditions, KHOBCARE offers in-home nursing services. Performed by Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs), these services often include advanced care coordination, initial consultation, and creation and oversight of short-term and long-term plans of care. Nursing staff provides expert training to caregivers and other individuals involved in the care. They oversee the care delivery and ensure that the plan of care is meeting the client’s needs.

Nursing services include making healthcare referrals or recommendations to maintain or improve your well-being. Appointments with physical or occupational therapists, installation of ramps, or use of durable medical equipment or oxygen supplementation are just some examples. Nurses may also be able to re-order and pick up medications, set up a medication regimen, and track adherence to and communicate any side effects to the prescribing healthcare provider.

Some clients can benefit from a nurse accompanying them to visit their physicians or other healthcare practitioners because they can relay information regarding the client’s condition to families and other authorized professionals. This can help clients and their families understand and execute follow-up care instructions and manage appointments.

Home care nurses may also provide nutritional assistance such as:

Planning healthy menus

Overseeing adherence to specialty diets

Creating grocery lists

Educating clients about their diet

Supervising caregivers in proper meal preparation techniques

Families often find these types of solutions beneficial to care.

KHOBCARE does refer some nursing services to other healthcare partners. These services typically include care such as intravenous feeding, tube feeding, application of wound dressings, heat treatments, injections, and rehab nursing.
