Private duty nursing provides one-on-one nursing support for individuals who require ongoing skilled nursing attention in a home setting.
It may be relevant for seniors or veterans with complex health needs, chronic conditions, or circumstances requiring nursing observation and interventions beyond routine non-medical assistance.
Throughout Puerto Rico, private duty nursing can allow eligible individuals who require skilled care to receive nursing services in their home environment.
How It Works
Private duty nursing may involve:
- Ongoing nursing observation and monitoring
- Medication administration as ordered
- Wound care and dressing changes
- Monitoring of health conditions and symptoms
- Assistance with prescribed nursing treatments
- Other skilled nursing interventions within the nurse’s scope of practice
What to Expect
Private duty nursing is generally delivered by a qualified nurse according to the individual’s clinical needs and applicable orders or instructions.
Nursing care may involve monitoring the individual’s condition, providing prescribed interventions, and documenting relevant observations during service.
The frequency and duration of nursing support can vary based on the individual’s needs and the applicable care requirements.
