Competent Care Home Health, an In-home nursing company in Orange County, gives families an on-site medical professional to help care for their loved one when they are in need of medical support.  Whether recovering from an illness or surgery, needing specialized services, or facing a terminal illness, your loved one will receive caring, attentive treatment from a skilled professional nurse in the comfort of the patient’s own home.

For patients, in-home nursing at their Orange County home, delivers not just quality care but the familiarity and comfort of being at home. While at home, patients will have access to their personal possessions and the furnishings and rhythms that are normal to them, compared to an impersonal hospital or skilled nursing setting. For caregivers, in-home nursing provides needed respite care, allowing for time away from the physical and emotional demands of caring for a loved one.

The In-home nurses at Competent Care Home Health, assist with a full range of medical procedures.  Often patients are released from a hospital setting but still need certain medical services. In-home nursing provides continuity of care throughout the recovery process, serving as an important bridge as a person heals. An in-home nurse can consult with other medical providers to understand a patient’s specific needs and report on progress during convalescence.

A home care nurse serves as an important member of the care team, which also includes physicians, therapists and family members. Nurses not only can do and record certain types of treatments, but be a skilled observer. If complications arise, additional help is needed, or progress is occurring at a faster rate, your in-home nurse can share that information with other care providers.

An in-home nurse can provide a broad range of medical services for patients at their Orange County home.
