What is a Private Nurse?
A private nurse is a personal medical provider that can provide you or a loved one with individual care at home.
When partnering with us, a customized care plan is tailored to your specific needs. This allows for a more flexible lifestyle while focusing on individualized care.
Your private nurse’s responsibilities will vary depending on your needs. Private nurses are able to perform any service that falls under the scope of a registered nurse as well as helping patients with their activities of daily living. This includes bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and performing medical services as necessary.
Some of our patients include hospice patients in need of end-of-life care and post-operative patients who are recovering from surgery and need help around the home.
Our team includes highly trained nurses from multiple disciplines. We provide our clients with a nurse whose skills and experience best match their needs.

As a private nursing agency, it is difficult for us to work with insurance providers. We perform a variety of services for patients with different needs. The full scope of our service cannot be neatly categorized into insurance coverages. The tradeoff, however, is that our clients have more control over their plan of care.
Signs that a loved one may need long-term care include difficulty with activities of daily living, memory loss, chronic illness, frequent falls, and the need for round-the-clock supervision or medical attention.
Personalized care tailored to the unique needs and requirements of each client, ensuring dignified, discreet, and competent care for conditions such as post-surgical care, chronic diseases, and other medical conditions.
There are significant differences between the type of care available through a private duty home care at Favor and Grace at Home and traditional government-funded home care services.
From the perspective of the client, Medicare and Medicaid-funded home care can be difficult to qualify for, given that there are strict eligibility criteria that must be met. Government-funded home care clients have no say in who their caregiver is, how frequently the caregiver visits, or when visits are provided. In most cases, Medicare and Medicaid home care services are time-limited, and clients who require ongoing care are required to re-qualify for services frequently. Lastly, Government-funded home care clients must have specific services provided during each visit or risk losing their eligibility. For example, some clients don't want or need help bathing or showering, but Government-funded home care clients must have these services provided during each visit.
A Private Pay client has complete control over what services are provided, at what time and by whom.
