With the leadership of Nurse Shirleen Smith, a seasoned Registered Nurse with extensive experience, we guarantee that your care will be both professional and compassionate.
What Our Skilled Nursing Services Include
At North Platte Nurse, we offer a comprehensive suite of skilled nursing services to meet the varied needs of our clients. These services are designed to ensure that patients receive the highest quality of care while remaining in the comfort of their own home. Some of the specialized services we provide include:
1. Regular Visits by LPN/RN
Our Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and Registered Nurses (RNs) provide regular in-home visits to assess your health, monitor ongoing medical conditions, and administer necessary treatments. Whether it’s routine checkups or urgent care, we offer personalized attention to ensure your well-being.
2. Prescribed IV Infusions
If you require intravenous (IV) infusions, our nurses are qualified to administer prescribed treatments safely and effectively at home. This service is particularly useful for individuals who need continuous medication or hydration therapy but wish to avoid frequent hospital visits.
3. Prescribed Subcutaneous Infusions
In addition to IV infusions, we also offer subcutaneous infusions for individuals who need medications administered under the skin. This specialized service allows for more consistent medication delivery and comfort in a home setting.
4. Vaccinations
We provide a variety of vaccinations, including flu shots and other necessary immunizations, to keep you or your loved one safe from preventable diseases. Our nurses will ensure that your vaccination schedule is followed and that you receive any necessary follow-up care.
5. Wound Care
Wound care is one of the essential aspects of skilled nursing, especially for those recovering from surgery or managing chronic wounds. Our team is trained in Wound Treatment and Assessment (WTA), providing thorough care to prevent infection and promote healing. We specialize in complex wounds, including pressure ulcers, surgical wounds, and diabetic ulcers.
6. Medication Management
Proper medication management is crucial for individuals with chronic conditions, multiple prescriptions, or complex regimens. Our nurses assist with weekly, monthly, or daily medication management, ensuring that you or your loved one takes the right medications at the right times. This reduces the risk of medication errors and ensures adherence to prescribed treatments.
7. Blood Draws
Our nurses are qualified to perform blood draws in the comfort of your home, saving you a trip to the lab or doctor’s office. This service is ideal for individuals who need regular blood tests to monitor health conditions, including diabetes, cholesterol, and liver or kidney function.
8. Skilled Toenail Trimming
For individuals who have difficulty with mobility or are unable to trim their toenails themselves, we offer professional toenail trimming services. This is especially beneficial for diabetics, as proper toenail care can prevent complications like ingrown nails or infections.
9. Health Assessments
Our nurses conduct thorough health assessments to evaluate your physical and mental health. This allows us to identify potential health risks and create a personalized care plan that addresses any medical concerns, ensuring that you receive the best possible care.
10. Catheter Care
For patients who require catheterization, our nurses provide specialized care to ensure the catheter is functioning properly and that the area remains clean and free of infection. Regular catheter care helps prevent complications like urinary tract infections (UTIs) and other related issues.
11. Tube Feedings
Our nurses are trained to administer tube feedings for individuals who have difficulty eating or swallowing. Whether through a nasogastric tube (NG tube) or a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube, we ensure that patients receive the proper nutrition in a safe and controlled manner.
12. Education for Health Conditions
We believe that empowering our clients and their families with knowledge is a critical component of healthcare. That’s why we offer education for health conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. Our nurses will educate you on how to manage your condition, the medications involved, and lifestyle changes that can improve your quality of life.
13. Nurse Consulting
For individuals or families who need guidance on healthcare decisions, our nurse consulting services provide expert advice on treatment options, care planning, and navigating the healthcare system. We are here to help you make informed decisions about the best path to recovery and well-being.
