In-Home IV & Medication

Receiving infusion therapy or advanced medication management at home is a safe, practical option for individuals transitioning out of the hospital or managing ongoing health conditions. Our nursing team regularly visits homes to support patients requiring:

• IV antibiotics for severe or persistent infections
• Post-surgical pain management and medication protocols
• Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN)
• Routine intramuscular (IM) or subcutaneous injections

Administering IV fluids and complex medications requires strict adherence to your doctor's orders. Our Registered Nurses (RNs) coordinate directly with your primary care physician, specialist, or discharging hospital to execute your specific care plan. Your in-home clinical visits will typically include:

• Professional IV Administration: Safely setting up, monitoring, and completing intravenous infusions following strict sterile protocols.
• Line Care and Maintenance: Flushing, cleaning, and changing dressings for PICC lines, central venous catheters, and implantable ports to prevent clogs and infections.
• Medication Management and Reconciliation: Organizing pill boxes, reviewing newly prescribed medications for potential negative interactions, and ensuring the correct dosages are taken at the right times.
• Injection Administration: Properly administering required injections, such as insulin or blood thinners, and rotating injection sites to maintain skin health.
• Patient and Family Education: We teach you and your family caregivers the purpose of each medication, what side effects to watch for, and how to safely store clinical supplies.

Complex medication routines carry a high risk of error if not managed correctly. Having a skilled home health nurse oversee your medication profile provides a critical layer of safety and prevents adverse drug interactions. For IV patients, receiving infusions in the comfort of a familiar environment dramatically reduces the physical exhaustion and exposure risks associated with traveling to an outpatient infusion center.

Our skilled nursing team is available for scheduled infusions, injections, and medication management throughout Madison, Whitewater, and the greater Dane County area.
