Choosing the Right Level of In-Home Care
Explore how nursing, personal care and companionship referrals can support daily life.
Understanding Your Options
Feingold Nursing Services is a nurse registry that refers qualified nursing and caregiving professionals. The appropriate type of referral depends on an individual’s support needs, schedule and professional qualifications.
Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses
RN and LPN referrals may support assessment, medication management, wound care, post-operative support and other appropriate nursing needs.
CNAs and Home Health Aides
CNAs and HHAs may help with bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility, meals, and everyday personal care.
Homemakers and Companions
These professionals may provide companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands and other nonmedical daily-routine assistance.
Discuss a Suitable Referral
Contact our team to discuss care needs, preferences and appropriate available caregiver referrals.
What Families Should Consider
Begin with the type of daily help needed, how frequently support is needed, and whether a licensed nursing professional or a personal-care or companionship referral is appropriate. Consider the person’s preferences and the setting in which care will take place.
Questions Worth Asking
Which tasks require a specific credential? What schedule would be most helpful? Does the person prefer a particular language or approach? What should the family know about care coordination and reporting changes?
Information to Have Ready
Bring a general summary of support needs, desired days and hours, care location, contact information, and any instructions or qualifications that need to be considered. Do not submit sensitive medical records through a general website inquiry.
