visiting nurses
Mobile medical attendants
Visiting nurses are healthcare professionals who provide medical care in patients' homes rather than in hospitals or clinics.
They check vital signs, administer medications, change wound dressings, and monitor chronic conditions for people who are homebound, elderly, or recovering from surgery: The visiting nurse comes twice a week to check on my father.
The term often implies nurses employed by a home health agency rather than private hire.
