What is Home Care Nursing (HCN)?

At Grace Home Health LLC, we provide Home Care Nursing (HCN) services for individuals who require continuous, skilled nursing care beyond the scope of standard home health visits. These services are designed for those whose medical conditions or injuries demand specialized care that goes beyond what a home health aide (HHA) or personal care assistant (PCA) can offer. HCN services are personalized and delivered under the supervision of a licensed physician, ensuring comprehensive support in the comfort of a patient’s home.

Why Choose HCN?

Home Care Nursing is ideal for patients with complex medical needs who require:

• Continuous, individualized care that can’t be managed with short, daily nursing visits.

• Skilled medical care that surpasses the capabilities of non-medical caregivers.

• Specialized care, such as managing chronic diseases, wound care, or medication administration.

All HCN services are delivered according to a physician-approved care plan, ensuring that each patient’s unique medical needs are met with precision and expertise. Nurses involved in HCN are either Registered Nurses (RNs) or Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), trained to deliver high-quality, compassionate care.

Types of HCN Services We Provide

• Regular HCN: For patients who need ongoing monitoring and professional nursing care, but without the requirement for complex, life-sustaining interventions.

• Complex HCN: For patients who require more intensive care due to serious medical conditions that involve life-sustaining interventions. This includes patients with ventilators, feeding tubes, or other critical care equipment.

Who Provides HCN Services?

HCN services are provided by licensed RNs or LPNs. In certain cases, a relative such as a parent or spouse may qualify to provide nursing care under a Relative Hardship Waiver, if they meet the necessary criteria and are licensed to provide such care. This waiver allows relatives to offer professional nursing care to their loved ones while receiving compensation for their services.

Benefits of HCN Services with Grace Home Health LLC

• Personalized Care: Every care plan is customized to meet the specific medical and personal needs of the patient.

• Ongoing Support: Our nurses offer continuous care and monitoring, ensuring patients receive the attention they need around the clock.

• Physician Collaboration: All services are provided under a detailed care plan approved by the patient’s physician, ensuring medical accuracy and optimal care outcomes.

• Flexibility: HCN services can also be extended outside the home when life activities take patients to other environments, offering them greater freedom while still receiving essential care.

Non-Covered Services

While HCN offers comprehensive nursing support, it does not include services such as:

• Household tasks, transportation, or social activities.

• Care provided in hospitals, nursing facilities, or intermediate care facilities.

• Services that are not medically necessary or not ordered by a physician.
