4 Different Types of Skilled Nursing Services

1. Home Nursing Care (RNs, LPNs, CNAs)

skilled nursingHome health care services are ideal for seniors who want to remain at home while receiving the care they need. At Tender Care, these can be RNs (registered nurses), LPNs (licensed practical nurses) or CNAs (certified nursing assistants).

These in-home nurses offer wound treatment, medication administration, injections, and other medical-related treatments. Many also specialize in certain areas of skilled nursing, such as diabetes, cancer, or Alzheimer’s disease.  

2. Professional Health Care Staffing

If you are seeking an addition to your medical team, Tender Care can help. As part of their skilled nursing services, they offer professional health care staffing for medical facilities, industrial settings, and government entities.

3. Geriatric Assessments

When a physician identifies a potential medical issue, they will often request a geriatric assessment. These evaluations aid in the diagnosis of medical conditions and help physicians design treatment plans for patients. They are designed to gauge a senior’s physical health, nutrition, cognitive functioning, and mental health. 

4. Private Duty Nursing

Private duty nurses offer one-on-one medical care for patients who require extra attention. These RNs and LPNs are qualified to take care of patients either in their home or in a medical facility such as a hospital or nursing home. This is ideal for families who want traditional in-home caregivers or one dedicated nurse, which isn’t typical in a hospital setting.

Regardless of the level of care you or a loved one require, the professionals at Tender Care are ready and willing to help. From bathing and dressing to medical care and meal preparation, their skilled nursing team offers personalized attention with a caring touch.
