Customized Care That Feels Like Family
Most older adults prefer to live in the comfort of the homes they’ve established, where they can remain in control of all of life’s decisions: what to have for lunch each day, which activities to engage in, when and where to get out and about in the community.
With the help of Nurse1’s professional home health care services, seniors maintain independence while enhancing safety and enjoying the companionship of our friendly, experienced caregivers and staff. And because we’re a one-stop-shop for all care needs related to aging and chronic health conditions, continuing to live at home is a viable option for a lifetime.
All services begin with a complimentary in-home consultation by one of our registered nurses to assess needs and create a personalized care plan, which can include any or all of the following types of services:
