Skilled Nursing provides clinical nursing support to older adults who need ongoing medical care at home after a hospitalization, surgery, illness, or change in their health needs. A person may need nursing visits when they require wound care, medication-related support, health monitoring, or assistance managing a chronic condition that requires clinical attention. For older adults in Hyattsville and other Maryland communities, home-based skilled nursing can provide these services while the individual remains in their familiar home setting.
How It Works
Depending on the individual’s clinical needs, nursing visits may involve the following types of hands-on care and monitoring:
- Monitoring vital signs and changes in health status
- Wound and dressing care
- Medication-related support and education
- Monitoring and support for chronic health conditions
- Post-hospitalization nursing care
- Identifying and reporting changes that may require medical attention
What to Expect
Skilled Nursing is typically provided during scheduled home visits based on the individual’s clinical needs and established plan of care. During a visit, the nurse provides the required nursing services, monitors the individual’s condition, and documents relevant observations. Nursing services may be reviewed or adjusted when the person’s condition or care needs change, in accordance with the applicable plan of care and clinical direction.
