What is Private Duty Care?
Private Duty Care provides services for the continuation of daily living activities within the client's home. It is designed to eliminate the need for a client to be placed into another facility by creating a safe living environment with specialized nursing care at home.
Clients in a hospital or assisted living facility can request direct private duty care to avoid being discharged to a different care facility.
Private duty nurses can significantly improve the quality of life for your loved ones. This specialized healthcare provider cares for clients who require medical care but want to remain independent or live at home.
