Mission

To find and implement skilled, compassionate, and creative solutions to keep you or your loved one as independent as possible.

Nurses have strict educational requirements which include several types of degrees. I have a Bachelor of Science (BS) Degree in Therapeutic Recreation and a Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) Degree and acquired my license as a Registered Nurse in 2005.
Nurses constantly Assess, Plan, Implement and Evaluate their client's care
Registered Nurses supervise and direct caregivers, Certified Nurse Assistants and Licensed Practical Nurses
Nurses are licensed to perform skilled care (tube feeding, regular injections, IV therapy, medication administration, wound care, etc.) If you or your loved one desires or requires skilled care, you may need a nurse on hand.
Nurses use critical thinking skills based on scientific knowledge to help lead and monitor the progress of our clients
Nurses are obligated by their licensing boards to follow a high standard of ethics and accountability
