When it comes to caring for seniors, having skilled medical professionals involved makes all the difference. Registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) are the vital backbone of many home health care teams, providing expert support right in the comfort of the home.
Their responsibilities include essential tasks such as medication administration—making sure seniors take their medicines on time and coordinating with pharmacies when needed. They also handle wound care, addressing cuts, ulcers, or post-surgical incisions with precision. For those requiring IV therapy or catheter management, these nurses monitor fluids, change catheters, and manage medical devices like CPAP machines to ensure optimal health.
In addition, they perform vital sign checks—tracking blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory function using advanced tools like Capnography and Pulse Oximetry. This clinical expertise not only keeps seniors safe but also allows them to receive hospital-level care without leaving home, reducing the need for frequent visits to medical facilities.
