Frequently Asked Questions

In-home skilled nursing care provides medical treatment at home by licensed nurses (RNs, LVNs), including wound care, medication management, IV therapy, and chronic disease monitoring. Unlike non-medical home healthcare services, skilled nursing delivers hospital-level care, promoting recovery, safety, and independence while reducing hospital visits.

Our in-home skilled nursing care is designed to manage a wide variety of medical conditions—from post-surgical recovery and chronic illness management to specialized treatments like wound care and IV therapy. For a full list of the conditions we address, please refer to our Conditions Treated section on this page.

Individuals requiring medical care at home, such as wound care, IV therapy, medication management, or chronic disease monitoring, may qualify. Patients recovering from surgery, illness, or hospital stays, as well as those with disabilities or complex medical needs, often benefit from skilled nursing services prescribed by a physician.

Simply contact us and speak with a TheraCare representative about your needs. They will guide you through the process and help arrange for a registered nurse to visit your home.

Coverage varies by payer, but many plans, including Medicare, help cover in-home skilled nursing care. Some plans may cover a portion of the costs, while others could cover up to 100% of eligible services. It’s best to review your specific plan details or consult with your provider for exact coverage information.

In-home skilled nursing care offers a personalized approach where an individualized care plan is developed collaboratively with the patient and their physician. This tailored plan is designed to meet the patient’s specific goals—all within the comfort of your own home. This option often promotes greater independence, a familiar environment, and one-on-one attention compared to a traditional nursing facility.

In-home skilled nursing care typically offers a comprehensive range of services, including:

  • Skilled Nursing: Medical care such as medication management, wound care, and chronic condition monitoring.
  • Physical Therapy: Exercises and treatments to improve mobility, strength, and balance.
  • Occupational Therapy: Assistance with daily activities to enhance independence and quality of life.
  • Speech Therapy: Support for communication difficulties, memory issues and swallowing disorders.

Look for licensed home health agencies with experienced RNs and LVNs, positive patient reviews, and a strong reputation for compassionate, high-quality skilled nursing care. Ensure they offer personalized care plans, physician-coordinated services, and 24/7 support. Checking state certifications, accreditation organizations, Medicare approval, and referrals from healthcare providers can help you choose a trusted provider.
