As your mother ages, her body may not absorb nutrients or medications as efficiently through food or oral supplements alone, especially during illness, recovery, or times of dehydration.
That’s where IV infusion therapy can make a meaningful difference. This gentle and effective method delivers essential fluids directly into the bloodstream.
IV infusion offers a personalized approach to care that can be especially helpful when your loved one struggles with appetite or digestion.

At BrightStar Care, our Registered Nurses (RNs) oversee each step of the IV infusion process to ensure comfort, safety, and personalized care.
Whether your loved one needs ongoing therapy or a short-term boost, we bring clinical-level care right into your home.

What is IV Infusion Therapy?
IV infusion therapy is a method of delivering fluids, medications, and essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream through a vein. It allows for fast, effective absorption, making it especially helpful for older adults who may have trouble swallowing pills, digesting nutrients, or staying hydrated.For aging individuals, IV therapy can be used to support hydration, immune health, pain management, and recovery from illness or surgery.

5 Common Medications and Nutrients Given Through IV Infusion
1. Fluids and Electrolytes for Hydration and Balance
Dehydration is common in older adults and can quickly lead to fatigue, confusion, or even hospitalization. IV fluids combined with electrolytes, like sodium, potassium, and magnesium, help restore proper hydration levels and support muscle function, nerve signaling, and heart health. Our BrightStar Care nurses carefully monitor each infusion to ensure it’s tailored to your loved one’s needs.2. Essential Vitamins Like B-Complex and Vitamin C
As we age, our ability to absorb key vitamins declines. IV infusion allows important nutrients like B-complex vitamins(which support energy and brain function) and Vitamin C (which boosts immune response and reduces inflammation) to bypass digestion for immediate absorption. BrightStar Care’s team makes sure your mother receives the right balance for optimal wellness.3. Minerals and Amino Acids for Energy and Healing
IV therapy can include minerals like zinc and selenium, as well as amino acids that help with tissue repair, metabolism, and maintaining muscle mass. These are especially beneficial during recovery from surgery, illness, or malnutrition. At BrightStar Care, we customize infusions based on individual health goals and doctor recommendations.4. Pain Management and Other Prescribed Medications
For seniors with chronic pain or recovering from procedures, IV infusion can be used to deliver physician-prescribed medications, such as anti-inflammatories or nausea relief, safely and effectively. Our licensed BrightStar Care nurses follow your loved one’s care plan closely, ensuring comfort while reducing the need for oral medications that may cause side effects.5. Customized IV Nutrition Plans for Seniors with Special Needs
Some older adults require more targeted nutritional support due to conditions like malabsorption, cancer, or neurological disorders. In these cases, IV nutrition therapy can be fully customized to include essential macronutrients and micronutrients. BrightStar Care’s RN-led team works closely with physicians and families to create safe, effective plans that support recovery and improve quality of life.
