At MyCare Home Nursing, our team of fantastic community nurses and experienced guardians form the heart of our individualized, compassionate direction to in-home care. We are devoted to providing older grown-ups and those working with illness or disability support to continue living joyfully and independently in their homes.
Our licensed, documented nurses who deliver professional nursing care within clients’ houses are the basis of our people-first care model. We recruit and have nurses who show unwavering compassion and clinical excellence.They act as partners, coaches, and advocates who understand the whole person inside each home they enter.
We only hire community nurses who share our core values of respect, dignity, empathy, integrity, and commitment to quality care. During our selective hiring process, we assess candidates for the following essential attributes:
– Warm, caring demeanor and outstanding communication abilities
– Dedication to building meaningful relationships with clients
– Strong clinical judgment, critical thinking, and care coordination expertise
– Focus on client education, empowerment, and advocacy
– Commitment to professional development and growth

We verify all licensure, certifications, experience, aptitude exams, and references to ensure nurses meet our high standards before placement. Ongoing performance reviews help validate that our nurses deliver the exceptional care our clients deserve.
Our robust training program prepares nurses to provide excellent community-based care while upholding our standards and protocols. Key training elements include:

We encourage nurses to continue expanding their knowledge and skills through paid seminars, certification education, mentoring programs, and collaborative in-services. Our nurses feel valued and supported as professionals committed to exceptional care.
Our community nurses get to know their clients as unique individuals. They listen deeply, build trust, and involve clients in setting goals. This fosters personalized care plans that consider the person’s needs beyond medical symptoms – their preferences, support systems, lifestyle factors, and desired outcomes.
Ongoing engagement allows nurses to encourage and educate clients as partners in health, not just treat them as passive recipients of care. Clients consistently praise the genuine relationships our nurses cultivate. The bonds built lead to improved health literacy, self-care capabilities, treatment adherence, and well-being.
Completing specialized assessments and converting findings into tailored care regimens is a primary duty of our nurses. Assessments evaluate clients’ situations across multiple wellness domains to identify customized interventions that support their physical, functional, and psychosocial health.
Multidimensional Assessments
Our intake assessments collect details on elements such as:
– Health history, diagnoses, symptoms, and disease progression
– Current physical, cognitive, and functional abilities
– Nutrition status and dietary needs
– Medications, allergies, previous treatments and responsiveness
– Mobility, balance, and safety within the home environment
– Mood, coping abilities, and mental health status
– Social/community connectivity and family involvement
– Goals, preferences, and desired health outcomes
– Barriers like health literacy, language, transportation, or financial limitations
We re-evaluate clients regularly to detect changes warranting care plan adjustments promptly. Input from clients, family members, and other providers enriches our understanding of evolving needs.
Using assessment findings, our nurses partner with clients, family members, and the broader care team to create comprehensive care plans outlining appropriate services and supports. These personalized plans consider medical, psychosocial, functional, and safety needs for optimal well-being. Our care plans outline:
– Specific nursing services like wound care, testing, skilled procedures
– Professional caregiving assistance with daily activities
– Medication and disease management education
– Nutritional support based on needs and dietary restrictions
