Skilled Nursing Care at Home in East Tennessee

• Post-hospital transitional care and health status monitoring

• Chronic disease monitoring for diabetes, COPD, heart failure, and kidney disease
• Wound assessment and skilled wound care
• Patient and family education on managing new diagnoses

Some situations call for more than periodic visits. Private duty nursing gives families a dedicated nurse for extended shifts, whether that means several hours a day or continuous coverage. Our 24/7 nursing care option is built for patients on ventilators, those requiring tube feedings, or anyone whose condition simply cannot go unmonitored overnight.

This level of in-home health care lets patients stay in familiar surroundings, near their own kitchen table and their own bed, instead of an extended hospital or facility stay.

Specialty nursing care addresses conditions that require advanced clinical skill beyond routine visits. Our nurses are trained in complex respiratory care, neurological conditions, pediatric home nursing needs, and post-surgical monitoring for procedures like joint replacements or cardiac surgery. We tailor every plan to the specific diagnosis rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

Skilled nursing care at home serves a wide range of East Tennessee residents, and coordination often extends into benefit programs many families are unfamiliar with:

• Patients recovering from surgery who need wound checks and mobility support
• Adults managing chronic illness who need regular clinical oversight
• Department of Energy workers eligible for EEOICPA (white card) home health care
• Individuals recovering from a work injury through workers' compensation home health benefits
• Family caregivers who need a licensed nurse to share the clinical responsibilities
• Seniors in Clinton, Harriman, Kingston, Lenoir City, and Oliver Springs who want to avoid a nursing facility

For patients who also need help with case coordination, medical evaluations, medication management, or wound care specifically, our related services at case coordination and medical evaluations and medication and wound management work hand in hand with skilled nursing to build a complete plan.
