PEORIA, ILLINOIS, UNITED STATES, June 19, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Private Duty Nursing provides highly trained nurses to deliver medical services to seniors with complex medical conditions. Not just a caregiver, the Private duty nurse is a highly trained Registered Nurse (RN) or Licensed Practical Nurse that delivers advanced medical care and in-home care enabling that senior to stay and live in the home that they know and love.

In-home care provides seniors with the life-affirming assistance needed to help maintain their independence while living at home. Many seniors that are receiving in-home care previously started out with a family member or good friend acting as a caregiver. While these family caregivers have helped a senior to meet their needs; it can be tiring daunting work. Many of these family members, relatives, or friends are thrust into the position of caregiver with little or no training. Adding in the need for medical care is beyond the average person's capabilities

These people usually fit the senior into their schedules while still working full or part-time and living their own lives. As time goes by, the family member or friends realizes that he or she can't spend the amount of time that a senior requires. If the senior has medical conditions or needs above that of just taking prescription medicine, they require a highly trained, skilled, and compassionate licensed medical provider. This is the stage when the family usually arranges for a Private Duty Nurse.

The Private Duty Nurse caregiver is trained to provide the senior with advanced medical care at its best. The Private Duty Nurse (PDN) not only provides medical care but he or she provides an extra hand like an in-home caregiver. It is not typical for an in-home care agency to provide Private Duty Nurses.
