What is skilled nursing? 

If you need treatment at home that requires a higher level of medical care – something that must be performed by a skilled professional – Mass General Brigham Home Care offers home nursing care services from highly-trained nurses. Our home nursing care staff provides a level of expertise and a commitment to your well-being that is second to none. They are highly trained, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and they are also screened, insured, and credentialed. We work to recruit the most qualified and compassionate healthcare professionals.

Our skilled nurses can:

• Help you to control the impact of acute and chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, and heart disease as well as help reduce the complications caused by wounds and ostomies
  
• Teach self-care techniques for asthma, diabetes, stroke, heart and respiratory conditions, wounds, ostomies, and catheters
  
• Monitor a person’s vital signs, blood pressure, heart rate, medication, and any special diet
  
• Arrange for additional services if needed and communicate with others in the home health care team
