What services do home care nurses provide?

As healthcare evolves, more families are turning to home nursing services as a safer, more convenient alternative to frequent hospital visits especially for elderly patients, individuals with chronic illnesses, or those recovering from surgery. At Home Care by Lahore Care Hospital, we understand the importance of quality care delivered in the comfort of your own home.

👩‍⚕️ Who Are Home Care Nurses?

Home care nurses are trained and licensed medical professionals who provide clinical care in a patient’s home setting. They work closely with doctors and caregivers to support recovery, manage chronic illnesses, and maintain overall health. Unlike general caregivers or attendants, home care nurses are equipped to handle medical procedures, emergency situations, and ongoing treatment plans all from the comfort of your home.

🏠 Key Services Provided by Home Care Nurses

Here are the primary services you can expect from professional home care nursing:

1. Post-Surgical Care

Patients recovering from surgery often need close monitoring to avoid infections and complications. Home care nurses assist with:

  • Wound cleaning and dressing

  • Pain management

  • Vital signs monitoring

  • Administering prescribed medications

  • Helping with mobility and physical activity
    This service reduces the risk of readmission and supports a safer, faster recovery at home.

2. Medication Management and IV Therapy

For patients on multiple medications or those requiring intravenous treatment, home nurses provide:

  • Timely administration of oral and injectable medicines

  • IV fluid and antibiotic management

  • Monitoring for side effects or reactions

  • Insulin injections for diabetic patients

This ensures adherence to treatment plans and minimizes medication errors.

3. Wound and Pressure Ulcer Care

Whether from surgery, injury, or prolonged bed rest, wounds need proper care to heal. Nurses at home offer:

  • Regular wound cleaning and redressing

  • Infection control

  • Pressure sore (bed sore) prevention and treatment

  • Pain and inflammation management

These services are critical for bedridden or elderly patients who are vulnerable to skin breakdowns.

4. Chronic Disease Management

Patients with long-term illnesses like diabetes, hypertension, COPD, or heart disease require ongoing care. Home nurses support them with:

  • Blood sugar and blood pressure monitoring

  • Oxygen therapy assistance

  • Lifestyle and medication education

  • Routine follow-ups and reporting to doctors
    This proactive care helps in managing symptoms and preventing complications.

  • Feeding and nutrition monitoring

  • Mobility assistance and fall prevention

  • Toileting and incontinence care

These services not only help the patient but also reduce the burden on family members.
