Home Care Nurse in Barrie, ON

A home care nurse from Comfort Keepers provides the next level of care for your loved one at home in Barrie, ON.

Sometimes a family caregiver just cannot meet the increasing medical needs of a loved one. Comfort Keepers® can help. Our specially trained home care nurses provide the level of care a loved one needs to stay safely at home rather than in a nursing facility or hospital.

What is Private Nursing?

In contrast to Comfort Keepers’ traditional in-home care services, this type of nursing provides one-on-one medical care to an individual in the home or a facility. A home care nurse provides a higher level of care while working in tandem with the caregiver who is providing homemaking or personal care services. Our goal is to provide the customized care needed by a client, and all from one agency.

How Comfort Keepers Can Help

Our skilled home health licensed/registered practical nurses (LPNs and RPNs) and registered nurses (RNs) can perform many medical tasks such as the following:

• Administering medications, such as oral and topical medications, eye and eardrops, injections, nebulizers, inhalants, and oxygen
• Providing personal medical care, including nail trimming, foot care, oral cavity suctioning, and bowel supervision
• Wound care
• Blood Samples
• Post Operative Care
• Filling insulin syringes, interpreting blood sugar results and physician-ordered sliding scale dosages, and drawing up and/or mixing insulin for future injections
• Maintaining ostomy and catheter hygiene
• Setting up medications in weekly pill boxes or automatic medication dispensing machines to help ensure medications are administered appropriately
