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.

Home Instead Care Pros are carefully screened, background-checked, and supported with education based on our person-centered care approach—including support for dementia, mobility, and personal care. We also prioritize matching you with someone compatible.
