Skilled nursing at home
Injections, wound dressing, catheter care, IV drips and round-the-clock nursing, delivered at the patient's home by GNM and BSc-qualified nurses with hospital experience.
Free assessment. We will tell you what level of care is needed.
Quick answer
Home nursing care is skilled medical care given by a qualified nurse at the patient's home instead of in a hospital ward. It covers injections, IV infusions, wound dressing, catheter care, tracheostomy care, oxygen support and monitoring of vital signs, all carried out to the treating doctor's prescription.
Who provides it
Nurses holding a GNM or BSc Nursing qualification with prior hospital experience
How it is booked
As a single visit for one procedure, or as a 12-hour or 24-hour shift
What is required
A doctor's prescription or discharge summary for any clinical procedure
Every procedure below is carried out to the treating doctor's prescription, using sterile single-use consumables, and recorded in a care chart the doctor can review.
| Procedure | What it covers | Typical booking |
|---|---|---|
| Injections | Intramuscular, intravenous, subcutaneous, insulin, antibiotic courses | Single visit |
| IV infusions | Line setup, drip monitoring, fluids, antibiotics, iron infusions | Longer visit |
| Wound dressing | Post-surgical wounds, pressure sores, diabetic ulcers, infection checks | Repeat visits |
| Catheter care | Urinary catheter insertion, cleaning, monitoring and scheduled change | Repeat visits |
| Tracheostomy care | Stoma cleaning, suction, tube checks, airway management | Shift or ICU-trained |
| Oxygen & nebulisation | Oxygen delivery, saturation monitoring, nebulisation for asthma and COPD | Visit or shift |
| Ryles tube feeding | Tube feeding, position checks, hygiene and tube change | Shift |
| Vitals monitoring | Blood pressure, pulse, temperature, oxygen saturation, charting | Shift |
| Blood samples | Collection at home for prescribed laboratory tests | Single visit |
| Medication management | Dose scheduling, administration, adherence tracking, doctor reporting | Shift |
Three formats, chosen by how much supervision the patient needs rather than by package.
| Single visit | 12-hour shift | 24-hour cover | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nurse stays | Duration of the procedure | Full day or full night | Continuous, rotated |
| Best for | One procedure at a time | Recovery after surgery, unstable patients | Critical, bedridden or ventilator patients |
| Vitals monitoring | At the visit | Through the shift | Round the clock |
| Family handover | Verbal plus chart entry | Daily written handover | Shift-to-shift handover |
| Commitment | None, book per visit | Daily or monthly | Daily or monthly |
ICU-trained nurses handle ventilator management, tracheostomy care and continuous monitoring at home.
These are two different roles. Booking the wrong one is the most common mistake families make.
| Task | Home nurse | Attendant |
|---|---|---|
| Injections and IV lines | ||
| Wound dressing | ||
| Catheter and tracheostomy care | ||
| Vitals monitoring and charting | ||
| Bathing, feeding, turning | ||
| Mobility and toilet assistance |
If no medical procedure is involved, a patient care attendant is the right choice. Many families book an attendant for daily care and add nursing visits only on the days a procedure is due.
Dressing changes, infection monitoring, medication schedule and mobility supervision during recovery.
Diabetes, kidney disease, cardiac and neurological conditions needing regular clinical monitoring.
Pressure sore prevention, catheter care, tracheostomy management and position changes.
Multiple medications, several conditions, and clinical supervision that family cannot provide.
Antibiotic courses, insulin and prescribed infusions that would otherwise mean daily clinic visits.
Pain management, comfort care and symptom control for patients with serious illness.
