  • How do I know if I need a nurse? How do I know if my parent/loved one needs a nurse?
    Our services can be a short term solution for needs such as wound care, blood draws, post surgical care or a one time assessment and care plan. We are a long-term solution as well - making routine visits to manage all aspects of care. Are you struggling with your health conditions, safety or medications? Please reach out. If you are worried about someone and cannot be there to help them manage their care and health, a nurse may be just the person to help. All situations are unique. We invite you to call to see how we may help.
  • How do we start this process?
    Give us a call. After discussing the details, we'll determine the best options. We usually offer a free, in-person consultation (situationally/location-dependent) to see if Blue Heron Skilled Nursing is the right fit.
  • How do we pay for an in-home nurse?
    Blue Heron Skilled Nursing Services is a privately held Professional Service Corporation that operates independently of Medicare or Medicaid. Clients pay out of pocket for our services. Each situation is unique and evaluated based on frequency and time. We bill per visit or in fifteen minute increments depending on the type of work. Some long term care insurance companies cover a registered nurse's services in the home. Some do not. We will work with them if able. Blue Heron Skilled Nursing also works with some clients that receive state waiver provided caregiver/nursing services.
