Medication Management & Administration
Licensed nurses manage and administer medications in accordance with physician orders and within their professional nursing scope.
Licensed Nursing Services
Private Duty Nursing
Private Duty Nursing is a skilled nursing service provided exclusively by licensed nurses — Registered Nurses (RN) or Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN). It is a distinct service, separate from non-medical home care.
Ahava's Private Duty Nursing supports individuals with complex medical needs who require skilled nursing care in the home setting.
Important: Private Duty Nursing vs. Non-Medical Home Care
Private Duty Nursing involves skilled nursing tasks performed by a licensed RN or LPN. These services are distinct from — and not performed by — Ahava's non-medical caregivers. If you are unsure which service is appropriate, contact us and we will help you understand your options.
