Licensed registered nurses and licensed practical nurses delivering expert medical care in the comfort of your home across Miami-Dade and Monroe County.
Skilled nursing care brings the expertise of licensed Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) directly to your loved one's home. Unlike home health aide services, nursing care involves clinical medical procedures — from administering IVs and managing complex wounds to monitoring chronic diseases and coordinating with your physician's care plan.
Our nurses work closely with each patient's medical team to deliver safe, effective care that supports recovery, manages ongoing conditions, and helps prevent hospital readmissions — all in the place your loved one feels most comfortable.
While home health aides provide essential non-medical support — such as bathing, meal preparation, companionship, and mobility assistance — skilled nursing care addresses clinical medical needs that require a licensed professional.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse can perform medical assessments, administer medications and IVs, manage wounds, monitor chronic conditions, and execute physician-ordered treatment plans. Home health aides cannot perform these clinical tasks.
Many families benefit from both services working together. A nurse may visit several times per week to handle medical needs, while a home health aide provides daily personal care and companionship. At Aprilis Home Health, we help you determine the right combination of services so your loved one receives complete, coordinated care.
Home health nursing care is skilled medical care provided by licensed Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) in the comfort of your home. It includes services such as medication management, wound care, IV therapy, vital signs monitoring, disease management, and patient education — all under a physician-directed plan of care.
Nursing care is appropriate when a patient requires skilled medical interventions such as wound care, injections, IV therapy, catheter management, or ongoing monitoring of chronic conditions like diabetes, COPD, or CHF. Home health aide services focus on non-medical support such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and companionship. Many patients benefit from a combination of both — and our team can help determine the right care plan for your family.
Yes, most insurance plans — including Medicare, Medicaid, and many private insurance providers — cover skilled home health nursing when it is deemed medically necessary and ordered by a physician. We also offer private-pay services for those who prefer flexible care options. Our team is happy to assist you in verifying coverage and understanding your benefits.
Visit frequency depends on the patient's medical needs and physician orders. Some patients require daily nursing visits, while others may need care just a few times per week. Your care plan is customized and regularly reassessed to ensure the right level of support as your loved one's condition evolves.
Absolutely. Our licensed nurses are trained and authorized to administer medications, manage IV therapy and infusions, give injections, and oversee complex medication regimens — all in the safety and comfort of your home. Every procedure follows strict clinical protocols and physician-directed care plans.
The duration of nursing care varies based on each patient's condition and recovery timeline. Some patients need short-term nursing after surgery or a hospital stay, while others with chronic conditions may require ongoing skilled care. Your care team continuously evaluates progress and adjusts the plan accordingly — our goal is always to promote the best possible outcome.
