Patients are treated in the comfort of their own homes by licensed practical nurses. Patients who remain in familiar surroundings and have frequent contact with family members tend to recover faster. Home nursing care is of comparable quality to hospital nursing services, but is less expensive.

The nurse works closely with the physician and follows their instructions. This ensures that the patient receives the appropriate care, medication, and supervision. The nurse also keeps and updates a record of all vital signs as directed by the doctor.
