Is Private Duty Nursing Different Than Our In-Home Care Services?

Private duty nursing is different from traditional home care services. In-home care services target healthy seniors, who don’t need medical attention. Sometimes you can meet their needs by yourself or hire a professional caregiver to assist them with daily tasks.

Private duty nursing, on the other hand, is a service for patients who don’t find a family caregiver or home health aide enough to meet all the needs. It includes advanced medical tasks, usually performed at nursing homes and hospitals.
