Get expert guidance from a visiting nurse in the comfort of your home
Our visiting nurses help you & your family manage your conditions better – at home
Get clear, compassionate medical support…right in your home
Quality in-home care is no easy feat: between medications, appointments, wound care and dressings all the details have to be in place.
Even if you’re getting care from a highly capable aide or loved one, you still want to have immediate access to a skilled medical professional.
That’s why our nurses are here for you.
Every Preferred patient gets a registered nurse (RN) to carefully monitor their progress and make sure their aide is giving the absolute best care.
Your nurse will:
Assess your medical situation and care
Teach you about your conditions + treatment so you can be an involved decision-maker.
Make sure you're getting the treatment you need.
Give your aide or family member detailed instructions for how to care for you
I was recently discharged from the hospital. I was very sick and needed help. Preferred sent me a temporary aide. I was so happy with her personality and service that I requested she be assigned to me permanently – and she was!
Responsible, professional and devoted. “My father has Parkinson’s and he was living alone. He could no longer be in the kitchen because of the shaking – it was dangerous. Preferred sent us an aide, and we’re very happy: he is responsible, professional, and devoted. He really understands my fathers needs.”

WHAT WE DO FOR YOU
"What will my in-home visiting nurse do for me?"
Make a care plan & manage your medications
No two people are the same – and no two care plans should be the same. Your nurse will create a clear plan of care for your aide, ensuring that every part of your day is poised to enhance your health and wellbeing.
If you find your medications confusing and overwhelming, your nurse can make things more manageable. They can:
Pre-pour medications into your pill box, so you don't have to struggle each morning
Educate you about your medications, so you understand what they do and what side effects to look out for
Reconcile your medication orders to the ones you've been taking - making sure there are no omissions, duplications, dosing errors, or drug interactions
Your nurse will always make sure you understand why you are taking each medication on your list.
Coordinate your medical team
There are so many players in your medical care — and everyone’s got to be on the same page. Your nurse will be your proactive communicator and coordinator, making sure that nothing falls through the cracks.
Educate you and your family
When it comes to your health, everyone’s got to be on board. Your nurse will help you and your family understand your condition better – and learn how to manage it with confidence and ease. We encourage you and your family to be active, empowered decision-makers.
Create a safe home environment
Did you know the slips & falls are the #1 cause for injury among mature adults? Your nurse will examine your home to make sure it’s optimized for YOU: no clutter, no dark spots, no fall hazards.
Assess your health regularly
Who will be there to monitor your health in between medical appointments? Your nurse will assess you regularly at home, making sure your doctor’s treatment plan is yielding the results you need.
Medical Dilemma?
Not sure what to do? Need to speak with a nurse?
Not a problem: you can just pick up the phone!
Our registered nurses are on call 24 hours a day to answer questions, review reports, and provide clear direction to your aide.
