Private Duty Nursing in Winter Garden, Florida
What is private duty nursing?
Private duty nurses are specialized in providing one-on-one medical care services. All our nurses are either Registered Nurses (RN) or Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) which is a guarantee they are qualified for providing the customized care our clients need. Nurses at Apex Home Health Agency LLC offer the services not only in a patient’s home but in hospitals and nursing homes as well.
Is Private duty nursing different than our in-home care services?
Private duty nursing is different from traditional home care services. In-home care services target healthy seniors, who don’t need medical attention. Sometimes you can meet their needs by yourself or hire a professional caregiver to assist them with daily tasks.
Private duty nursing, on the other hand, is a service for patients who don’t find a family caregiver or home health aide enough to meet all the needs. It includes advanced medical tasks, usually performed at nursing homes and hospitals.
