Common Questions
Answers for Patients and Families
What makes Skilled Nursing different from CNA Services?
Skilled Nursing involves licensed clinical care, assessments, and ordered nursing tasks. CNA Services focuses on help with personal care and daily routines within an established care plan.
Does someone need a referral or an order?
Skilled home health care commonly requires a healthcare provider’s order and an assessment of eligibility. Contact our team to discuss the documentation that may be needed.
Can a nurse assist after a hospital stay?
Nursing support may be appropriate when a person leaves the hospital with a need for ordered clinical care at home. The discharge and healthcare teams help determine the plan.
Does A&D provide nursing care around the clock?
Visit schedules and services depend on eligibility, care needs, staffing, and the agreed care plan. Contact A&D for current availability; do not rely on the site for emergency care.
