Skilled Nursing

Our nurses are highly-skilled, experienced home care nurses dedicated to providing high-quality, compassionate home care. Our Registered Nurses (RN) act as the case managers and coordinate the total home care program and treatment plan with the entire UHHS team. An individualized, patient-centered care plan is developed after the RN’s initial evaluation. In close collaboration with the patient’s physician, the RN provides skilled nursing services, which may include the following:

  • Assessment and monitoring of condition
  • IV therapy
  • Wound care
  • Dressing changes
  • Medication administration and instruction
  • Blood draws for lab work
  • Patient and family education
  • Home health aide supervision
  • Bowel and bladder management
  • Catheter insertion and care
  • Resource development
  • Telemedicine program for heart failure.
