Reclaim Comfort and Independence with Interim HealthCare's Home Health Nurses
What is a Home Health Nurse?
A home health nurse is a registered nurse (RN) or licensed practical nurse (LPN) who provides skilled medical care to patients in their homes. They work collaboratively with doctors, therapists, and other healthcare professionals to create a comprehensive care plan that promotes healing, recovery, and overall well-being. These care in home care plans may include outpatient nursing and home care nursing that can help you or a loved one regain your independence sooner.
