Home Health Skilled Nursing
Aurora Home Care provides advanced home health skilled nursing for seniors and adults across Philadelphia and Bucks County. We bring professional medical care directly to your door, helping you recover, manage health conditions, and stay safe at home.
WHAT IS IT?
Skilled nursing care is professional medical support delivered in the comfort of your own home by licensed Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs). Unlike standard home care, which focuses on daily activities, skilled nursing involves clinical tasks prescribed by a physician to treat illness, injury, or complex conditions.
Our experienced nurses provide wound care, medication management, health monitoring, and post-surgical support. Skilled nursing for seniors and adults allows you to receive high‑quality medical attention without prolonged hospital stays or frequent trips to a clinic.
BENEFITS OF OUR SERVICES
Receiving professional medical attention at home promotes faster healing, greater comfort, and peace of mind for the entire family.
- Professional Clinical Oversight. Our licensed nurses act as your eyes and ears, monitoring vital signs and symptoms to catch potential health issues before they become emergencies.
- Faster Recovery at Home. Healing happens best where you feel most comfortable. We provide the clinical support needed to recover from surgery or illness safely in your own bed.
- Reduced Hospital Readmissions. By managing medications, wounds, and chronic conditions effectively at home, we help prevent complications that often lead to returning to the hospital.
- Personalized Medical Attention. We build a skilled nursing care plan based specifically on your physician’s orders and your unique health goals—ensuring you get exactly the care you need.
- Support for Family Caregivers. Families can relax knowing a trained medical professional is managing complex tasks like injections, dressing changes, and symptom tracking.
- Independence With Dignity. We help patients manage their health conditions while remaining as independent as possible, treating every individual with respect and compassion.
WHAT SERVICES DO WE PROVIDE
Wound Care &
Dressing Changes
Expert cleaning, monitoring, and dressing of surgical wounds, pressure sores, or injuries to promote proper healing and prevent infection.
Our nurses also document changes in the wound’s appearance, drainage, and pain level to keep your physician fully informed of your progress.
When needed, we reinforce home-care instructions so you and your family know how to protect the wound between visits.
Medication
Management
Administration of prescribed injections (IM/SQ), IV therapy support, and careful management of daily oral medications to ensure safety and compliance.
Nurses review your medication list for potential interactions and help set up easy-to-follow routines, pill boxes, or schedules.
They also provide teaching on what each medication is for and what side effects to watch for, reducing confusion and missed doses.
Chronic Disease
Management
Clinical support and education for conditions like diabetes, heart disease, COPD, and hypertension to help you stay stable and healthy.
Our nurses track symptoms, vitals, and lab results over time to detect early warning signs and prevent avoidable complications.
They coach you on lifestyle changes, diet, and self-monitoring so you can better understand and manage your condition day to day.
Post-Operative
Recovery Support
Specialized nursing care after surgery to monitor incision sites, manage pain, and ensure you follow discharge instructions safely.
We coordinate closely with your surgeon’s office to follow the prescribed post-op plan, including dressing changes, medication schedules, and activity restrictions.
By watching for signs of infection, blood clots, or other complications, our nurses help you avoid unnecessary trips back to the hospital.
Health Monitoring &
Assessment
Regular checks of blood pressure, heart rate, glucose levels, and overall physical condition to track progress and adjust care plans.
Nurses perform focused head-to-toe assessments, reviewing your breathing, circulation, skin, and neurological status as needed.
All findings are documented and shared with your physician so treatment orders can be updated promptly if your condition changes.
Catheter & Ostomy
Care
Professional assistance with catheter maintenance and ostomy care, including patient education to ensure comfort and dignity.
Our nurses help with routine catheter changes, bag emptying, and skin care around insertion or stoma sites to reduce irritation and infection risk.
They also teach you and your caregivers step-by-step techniques so you feel more confident managing supplies and equipment at home.
Care Coordination
with Physicians
We maintain constant communication with your doctor, updating them on your progress and adjusting your care plan as your needs change.
Nurses relay vital signs, symptom changes, and medication concerns directly to your healthcare providers to support timely decisions.
This close coordination helps align everyone on the same goals, ensuring your in-home care, clinic visits, and medications all work together effectively.
Home Health Care in the Language
You Trust
We know that straightforward communication in your chosen language builds trust and comfort. Our staff
speaks 12 languages, so your loved one will get culturally appropriate care.
No matter the topic: health, daily habits, or family stories — language shouldn’t hinder compassionate, competent home care.
