Everything You Need to Know About Private Duty Nursing on the Upper East Side

If you or a loved one needs one-on-one medical support at home, private duty nursing is a trusted solution. For families in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, BrightStar Care South Brooklyn / Upper East Side delivers licensed, professional care right to your doorstep.

From post-surgical recovery to chronic illness management, our local private duty nurses are available 24/7 to ensure you or your loved one receives the highest level of care—without ever leaving home.


What Is Private Duty Nursing?

Private duty nursing provides individualized, skilled care at home by licensed Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs). Unlike intermittent home visits, private duty nursing offers continuous, hands-on support to help clients manage medical needs safely from the comfort of their home.

At BrightStar Care South Brooklyn / Upper East Side, our nursing services are supervised by an RN and are available across neighborhoods like the Upper East Side, Lenox Hill, Carnegie Hill, Yorkville, and nearby South Brooklyn areas.
