Skilled Nursing and other Services

Does Your Facility Need Nurses?

Nursing Resources is also a nurses' registry. We offer a variety of services ranging from skilled nursing taking care of your facility's patients with helping them with their medications, assessments, and teaching as well as CNA's and/or PCA's to help your patients with personal needs as companions, bathing, etc. This can be on an "as needed" basis. We can also arrange for long-term placement of nurses. We know that your business can be cyclical; therefore your staffing needs will be cyclical. We can help you staff during those times when you need that additional staff. Work with us and we will actively look to anticipate such needs and recruit accordingly.

Nursing Resources Home Care Nursing Programs

Our skilled nursing home care programs are conducted by highly trained, experienced and licensed home care nurses who have only one thing in mind and that is to take care of our patients in a home care setting. They are in constant communication with Nursing Resources' Staffing Coordinators and the health care or hospital Case or Care Managers to devise the best possible care for their patients. They are courteous, professional, prompt, and well trained. The home care programs provided by Nursing Resources include the following:

Nursing Resources Pediatric Home Care Nursing Program

Nursing Resources pediatric nurses have a long history of taking care of pediatric patients in a home environment. They are well trained in and up-to-date with pediatric assessments, the dynamics of family life, and the environment the patient is in. Our nurses conduct some of the most challenging developmental and rehabilitation therapies with assistance from the patients' parents, family and even the school administrators.

We offer a wide range of pediatric capabilities including:

Long-term skilled nursing for medically complex and technology-dependent children,

Rehabilitation and developmental therapies,

Asthma management,

Pain management and respite care, and,

Ventilator therapies.

Nursing Resources Home Ventilator Care Nursing Program

This is an area which Nursing Resources has substantial experience just by the sheer number of such cases. Linda Elias, Nursing Resources' Director of Clinical Nursing is a well-recognized and published registered nurse in the motor neuron diseases, such as ALS, MS, and congenital deformities requiring ventilator assistance. Our skilled nursing staff is required to maintain their up-to-date knowledge in the advances made in this field along with the equipment used in ventilation cases by taking a minimum of 7 CEU per year. Our on call staff is knowledgeable on these cases and the equipment details so that they can help the patient and the nurse in case of emergencies.

Nursing Resources Wound Care Program

Home health care is much cheaper than hospital care and especially in wound care cases, the technological advances made enable nurses to heal the wounds at home. Coupled with the fact that the trend in the hospital business is that patients are discharged sooner makes this field a core business for Nursing Resources. Our wound care specialists are experienced registered nurses, which are required to maintain at least 7 CEU in wound care education from the local excellent universities and hospitals. They are experienced in surgical wounds, decubitus (bed sore) and other wounds.

Nursing Resources Skilled Nursing Assessments

As the US population ages, there will be a greater number of Americans who will be needing assistance with their lives. For the long-term care insurance to pay for the benefits, it is customary for the patient to be assessed by skilled nursing to explore the best alternative lifestyle and the setting. Nursing Resources can provide such a service.
