Skilled nursing at home is medical care from a licensed nurse, including wound care, ostomy and catheter care, and medication management. We serve DuPage, Cook, Lake, Kane, McHenry and Will counties.

Common reasons include recovery after a hospital stay or surgery, wound care, ostomy and catheter care, medication management, and managing conditions such as heart failure, COPD and diabetes. These are examples, not a complete list.
Skilled nursing at home may be a fit if your doctor says you need nursing care and leaving home takes a lot of effort. Tap anything below that sounds like you or someone you love.

Skilled nursing is medical care from a licensed nurse. Home care, sometimes called personal care, is non-medical help with daily tasks such as bathing, meals or housekeeping. We can also help arrange some of that extra support.
Visit frequency follows your doctor’s orders and your needs. It is often a few times a week at first and changes as you recover. Skilled nursing is usually short-term and continues while there is a medical need and progress toward your goals.
A nurse may check your vital signs and overall health, care for wounds, ostomies or catheters, review your medications, teach you and your family, and update your doctor.
We aim for continuity whenever possible. If needed, another qualified nurse may visit so your care is not delayed.
