Questions families ask
Who provides the care?
Registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs). LPNs work under the supervision of a registered nurse.
Do I need a physician's order?
Yes. Nursing care follows a plan of care approved by your physician. We work with your doctor's office to put it in place.
How long are nursing shifts?
Shift length is set in your plan of care, based on need and what your coverage authorizes. We confirm the schedule before care starts.
Can care start right after a hospital stay?
Yes, once orders and staffing are in place. Call us before discharge if you can, so we can plan together.
