Private duty nursing in Georgia is continuous, one-on-one skilled medical care provided by a Registered Nurse (RN) or Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in a patient’s home. Unlike standard intermittent home health visits, it delivers block-shift or round-the-clock support for medically fragile children and adults with complex, chronic conditions.
Key Services Provided
- Medical Technology Management: Care for ventilators, tracheostomies, and feeding tubes (G-tubes/J-tubes).
- Clinical Monitoring: Continuous tracking of vital signs, seizure activity, and neurological status.
- Therapies and Administration: Complex medication administration, intravenous (IV) infusions, and specialized wound care.
- Daily Support Coordination: Collaborating with physicians and training family members on hands-on care routines.
Georgia Regulation and Coverage
- Licensing: Providers operate as licensed Private Home Care Providers (PHCP) regulated by the Georgia Department of Community Health.
- Funding: Services are frequently utilized by eligible families through state programs like the Georgia Medicaid Katie Beckett waiver, which helps medically complex children stay at home instead of an institution.
