Skilled Nursing by definition means that a patient’s care and treatment can only be taken care of by a licensed nurse. To attain this license in Atlanta, nurses need to meet requirements and complete specific academic programs to qualify as skilled nurses. Skilled nursing is usually available at either a skilled nursing facility or at someone’s private residence. Treating clients in their home is less costly and just as effective as the one provided at a hospital or a skilled nursing facility.

Research has proven when skilled nursing can be made available at home, it benefits the patient numerous ways. For instance, while hospitals may offer cure and relief, they also come with a monotonous environment, impersonal conversations, and mind-numbing machine beeping sounds.

Homes offer security and familiarity but cannot aid a person’s recovery and wellness on their own. Skilled nursing into someone’s private residence can serve as a viable solution here.

Benefits of Skilled Nursing Care when provided at home include:

  • Recovering with homely independence, freedom, and comfort. Incorporating skilled nursing into home health allows the patient to feel heard, seen, and free. This also dramatically impacts the patient’s mental well-being and can aid in their recovery.
  • Receiving assistance with the correct diet and nutrition as per the patient’s needs.
  • Receiving assistance with managing the time, amount, and dosage of medication.
  • Developing a more personal relationship between the healthcare giver and the receiver.

Research shows that patients benefit greatly from personalized relationships between them and their caregivers. Having skilled nurses around the patient at home means that the two have greater chances of forming a more personalized relationship. This helps them better understand one another and makes the process of treatment and recovery more positive and bearable.
