FIRST at Home offers superior nursing services for all of your home-care needs. Our caring staff of nurses will come to you, on your schedule. Whether you need assistance with your medication or a loved one is recovering following surgery, we are here for you.
Skilled nursing services are administered by either a registered nurse (RN) or a licensed practical nurse (LPN). If you get services from a LPN, your care will be supervised by a RN. FIRST at Home’s health nursing agency in West Palm Beach provides direct care and teaches you and your caregivers about your care. They also manage, observe and evaluate your care.
