Recovering from surgery, managing a new diagnosis, or living with a chronic condition often requires more medical support than family alone can provide, but that doesn’t mean it has to happen in a hospital or facility. Visiting Nurse Association Health Group brings licensed, skilled nurses directly into patients’ homes across New Jersey, delivering the same level of medical care available in a hospital or skilled nursing facility, without leaving home.

Our skilled nursing team builds individualized care plans around each patient’s diagnosis, medications, and recovery goals, working closely with physicians and family caregivers so nothing falls through the cracks.

A Coordinated, Interdisciplinary Approach

Skilled nursing care doesn't happen in isolation. Our nurses work as part of a larger care team that can include medical social workers (MSWs), registered dietitians, and physical, occupational, and speech therapists. Ensuring each patient's care plan addresses not just their medical needs, but their emotional, nutritional, and functional recovery as well.

Skilled nursing care can only be performed by licensed medical personnel, such as Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), and covers medical needs that go beyond what a home health aide or family caregiver can safely provide. Delivering this care at home reduces the risk of hospital readmission and lets patients recover in a familiar environment.

Skilled nursing through VNA Health Group can help patients with:

• Wound care and dressing changes
• IV therapy and injections
• Catheter and ostomy care
• Medication management and monitoring for side effects or interactions
• Vital sign monitoring and chronic disease management (diabetes, heart disease, COPD, and others)
• Post-surgical and post-hospitalization recovery support
• Coordination with physicians and other members of the care team
