Private Duty Nursing vs. Skilled Nursing Facility: What Families Need to Know

Описание: In this video, we walk through the difference between private duty nursing at home and skilled nursing facilities so you can make a decision rooted in clarity, not overwhelm.

Private duty nursing at home offers one-on-one, personalized care in a familiar environment. Focused attention often leads to improved comfort, earlier detection of subtle health changes, reduced infection exposure, and care that adapts to your loved one’s natural routine. For individuals who value independence or are living with cognitive conditions like dementia, consistency at home can be especially powerful.

Skilled nursing facilities provide 24/7 on-site medical staff, structured rehabilitation programs, and equipment that may be difficult to replicate in a home setting. In some cases, insurance or Medicare coverage can reduce out-of-pocket costs, and the social environment may benefit certain individuals.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Every decision should consider medical complexity, financial resources, environment, and personal preference. In some cases, a blended approach — facility first, then transitioning home — may offer the best outcome.

At Navi Nurses, our goal is simple: help families make informed decisions that prioritize safety, dignity, and quality of life.
