Skilled Nursing Care
at Home
Our licensed registered nurses bring expert clinical care directly into your home — providing the skilled medical attention you need in the place where you're most comfortable.
What is Skilled Nursing Care?
Skilled nursing care is medical care delivered in your home by a licensed registered nurse (RN) or licensed practical nurse (LPN). At HomeHealth, Inc. provides skilled nursing services to patients in the Greater Chicagoland Area — coordinating closely with your physician to deliver expert, personalized care.
Unlike basic caregiving, skilled nursing requires a physician's order and involves clinical assessment, medical treatments, and ongoing health monitoring that must be performed by a licensed professional.

Who Can Benefit from Skilled Nursing at Home?
Skilled nursing care is appropriate for patients recovering from surgery, hospitalization, or injury, as well as those managing complex or chronic medical conditions. Common conditions served include post-surgical recovery, diabetic wound care, heart failure management, stroke recovery, COPD, and orthopedic conditions.
A physician's order is required to begin skilled nursing services. At HomeHealth, Inc. will work directly with your doctor to establish an individualized plan of care tailored to your specific health goals.
