Private Duty Nursing
Nurse Evaluations
Before you leave the hospital or once you've returned home, let an At Your Side Registered Nurse (RN), evaluate you or your loved one. We specialize in creating a detailed, comprehensive Plan of Care so that the recovery process doesn't end at discharge.
- Transition of Care Planning
- Review discharge instructions with the patient and family while still at the hospital or other facility
- Educate you and your family in self-care
- Ensure prescriptions are obtained or filled before leaving
- Conduct home safety and fall risk inspections
- Confirm and coordinate follow-up appointments with other physicians or providers
- Ensure you are discharged with the correct durable medical equipment (cane, walker, ramp, etc)

- Medication management
- Medication set-up, administration and adherence
- Educating about potential side effects and evaluating possible interactions

- Track your medications and refills
- Transportation to pharmacy or pick up prescriptions
