Home Care LPN

LPN Home Care Job Description

Some home health nurses work primarily as visiting nurses. They work with patients who need only modest oversight, including children with chronic illnesses or developmental problems, and seniors with mild to moderate health issues. During their scheduled visits, they record their patients' vital signs, check that they're taking their medications correctly, and sometimes perform other duties such as cooking or light housekeeping.

They observe the patient and the patient's home for any signs that might indicate ill health or advancing dementia.

For isolated seniors with few family or friends, the nurse's visit might be the only regular opportunity for social interaction. That in itself can contribute to health and well-being.
