Nurse-directed Care FAQs

Nurse-directed care is a level of in-home health care that's overseen and guided by a registered nurse. A licensed RN creates and manages your care plan and trains our Care Pros to assist with more medically focused tasks, like medication management, wound care, and glucose monitoring. This is different from skilled nursing, where an RN delivers all the medical care directly. With nurse-directed care, your RN is the guide, and your Care Pro is there to carry out the plan with consistency and compassion.

Nurse-directed care in Skagit and Whatcom counties is a great fit for people managing complex or chronic health needs at home, including diabetes requiring daily glucose monitoring, recovering from surgery or illness, managing multiple medications, and dealing with wounds that need regular care. This type of home health care is also good for people living with common health conditions like dementia, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, heart failure, COPD, depression, arthritis, and more.

For many people, yes. Nurse-directed care is a type of home health care that gives you access to more clinically informed support without leaving the comfort of your own home. Whether it's the right fit depends on your specific health needs. Our Skagit and Whatcom counties-based team is happy to talk through your situation and help you understand your options. A free consultation is a good place to start.
