How can I get a home health nurse to come to my house three days a week?

  1. You have to fit certain criteria. These are three of them:
    1. You must need help with a skill that a nurse is qualified to perform, such as a sterile dressing change or an IV treatment.
    2. The doctor must write you a prescription for the home care by a nurse.
    3. You must be "homebound"-- not able to get out of your house easily for routine tasks.

    There are probably other rules, so my suggestion is to contact a home health care agency in your area or talk to your doctor to see if he/she thinks the care is necessary.

    Best wishes.

    You will need an order from your doctor, with a valid reason for the home care. You will also need to make sure your insurance will cover the service. The best thing for you to do is look in the phone book and call a home health agency to get the information you need.
