đź©ş What Is a Home Care Nurse?
A home care nurse is a qualified nursing professional (ANM, GNM, BSc Nursing) who delivers clinical care to patients at home, including:
- Wound & dressing care (surgical, pressure ulcers)
- Injections & IV therapy (antibiotics, fluids)
- Catheter/tracheostomy management
- Vital-sign monitoring (BP, blood sugar, oxygen saturation)
- Post-operative follow-up (suture removal, physiologic assessments)
- Chronic disease support (diabetes foot care, COPD breathing exercises)
This service lets immobile, elderly, or post-surgery patients recover safely—avoiding hospital visits and infection risks.
