Skilled Nurse Referrals in Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach and Broward County

Quality medical
care at home. The best home skilled nursing starts with proven skills of trained RNs and LPNs.

Skilled Nurses Fort Lauderdale

The RNs and LPNs we refer are independently trained and licensed professionals who can excel at providing compassionate in-home skilled nursing care.

Skilled nurses may be necessary if your parent, spouse or other senior loved one is recovering at home from a recent illness, accident, injury, or surgery or has a chronic condition requiring professional medical care to improve, maintain, or slow a decline in his or her health. Skilled nurses can also deliver palliative care to relieve pain, stress and other symptoms of serious illness and improve quality of life. Home health care, also called medical home care, is given under a doctor’s orders and is just as effective as care given in a hospital or skilled nursing facility.

Matching Your Loved One with the Best Skilled Nursing Caregivers

Home Care skilled nurses referred by Senior Nannies are experienced registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs), also called licensed vocational nurses (LVNs), who are qualified to deliver medically necessary care in the privacy, comfort and familiarity of your loved one’s own home. We can also refer certified nurses who have extra training in specific clinical areas (heart failure, stroke, wound care, or palliative care, for example) depending on your loved one’s medical needs.
