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:

Wound cleaning and dressing
Pain management
Vital signs monitoring
Administering prescribed medications

IV fluid and antibiotic management
Monitoring for side effects or reactions
