Private Duty

A red and yellow pyramid with the letters uhcs underneath it.Private
duty nursing is the care of clients by nurses, MyStar Healthcare
uses RN (Registered Nurse) or LPN/LVN (Licensed Practical Nurse).

Our nurses who provide private duty care are working one-on-one with
individual clients. The care is provided in the client’s home, or an
institution, such as a hospital, nursing home or other such facility.

Many of the private duty nursing cases involve pediatric patients on
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) that have long term illnesses such as
Cerebral Palsy (CP)and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI). Many of the patients have Gastrostomy Tube (G-Tube), Tracheostomy Care (Trach), or Ventilator (Vent). Our private duty nurses are in many cases Registered Nurses (RN) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVN).
