When partnering with Boston Private Nursing, a customized care plan is tailored to your specific needs. This allows for a more flexible lifestyle while focusing on individualized care.

Your private nurse’s responsibilities will vary depending on your needs. Private nurses are able to perform any service that falls under the scope of a registered nurse as well as helping patients with their activities of daily living. This includes bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and performing medical services as necessary.

Some of our patients include hospice patients in need of end-of-life care and post-operative patients who are recovering from surgery and need help around the home.

Patients with medical conditions or those who are at risk of suffering a serious medical event greatly benefit from 24-hour nursing care.

As a private nursing agency, it is difficult for us to work with insurance providers, however, we do work with long-term care policies. We perform a variety of services for patients with different needs. The full scope of our service cannot be neatly categorized into insurance coverages. The tradeoff, however, is that our clients have more control over their plan of care.
