Private Duty Nursing at Home, Backed by Care You Can Trust

A private duty nurse is a licensed Registered Nurse (RN) or Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) who provides one-on-one skilled nursing care in your home, rather than in a hospital or clinic. Unlike home health aides or non-medical caregivers, a private duty nurse is clinically trained to perform medical tasks such as wound care, injections, medication administration, and monitoring of health conditions. The "private" in private duty nursing refers to the personalized, dedicated attention you receive—your nurse is focused entirely on you.

Care Indeed's private duty nurses are equipped to perform a wide range of in-home skilled nursing services, including medication administration and injection management, post-surgery wound care and dressing changes, catheter care and tube feedings, vital signs monitoring and condition observation, incontinence care, and coordination with your physicians and family on changes in condition. If your medical needs are more complex, our team will assess your situation and match you with a nurse whose skills align with your specific health conditions.

Not exactly. Both provide skilled nursing care at home, but there are important differences. Private duty nursing is privately arranged, can be scheduled for longer or more flexible hours, and is fully customized to your ongoing needs. Private duty nursing is a good fit when you need regular or continuous skilled nursing care that goes beyond what Medicare-covered visits can provide.

Absolutely. Many of our clients use a combination of private duty nursing for clinical needs and non-medical caregivers for daily support like personal care, meal preparation, and companionship. Because Care Indeed offers both services under one agency, your medical and caregiving teams are coordinated and communicate with each other. As your health needs evolve, we can adjust the mix of services without you having to find a new provider.

We carefully assess both your clinical needs and the specific skills and experience of our nurses before making a match. Our goal is to pair you with a licensed nurse who has demonstrated experience with conditions like yours—whether that is wound care, chronic disease management, post-surgical recovery, or something else. Before care begins, your Care Indeed team will conduct a full assessment and discuss your goals and preferences so your private nursing care is right for you from day one.
