What Is Private Duty Nursing?
Private duty nursing is individual nursing care delivered at home by a licensed nurse (an RN or LPN) who is dedicated to one client during each shift. Unlike short visits, a private duty nurse stays with your loved one for the whole shift, following a care plan agreed with your family and, where needed, their physicians.
Who Private Duty Nursing Is For
- Aging parents with ongoing health needs who want to stay at home
- Recovery at home after surgery or a hospital stay
- People living with chronic or complex medical conditions
- Families who want licensed nursing support alongside home health aides

What is private duty nursing?
One-on-one nursing care at home from a licensed nurse dedicated to your loved one for the full shift, following a personalised care plan.
Is private duty nursing the same as home health care?
Not quite. Home health care often means short visits. Private duty nursing provides a dedicated nurse for whole shifts, from 12 hours to around the clock.
What is the difference between a private duty nurse and a home health aide?
A private duty nurse is a licensed RN or LPN who provides nursing care. A home health aide helps with daily activities such as bathing, dressing and meals. Many families combine both.
