home nursing
Medical care, residentially
Home nursing is medical care provided in a patient's residence rather than a hospital or clinic.
A home nurse may administer medications, change dressings, monitor vital signs, or assist with recovery after surgery.
The arrangement allows patients—especially the elderly or chronically ill—to receive professional care while remaining in familiar surroundings: After her hip replacement, she relied on home nursing for six weeks.
