Some nursing visits may be covered through your provincial home care program.

In-home nursing brings registered nurses and registered practical nurses into the home for clinical care that would otherwise mean a clinic or hospital visit: medication management, wound care, injections, IV therapy, and post-surgical monitoring. Many home care agencies provide nursing alongside personal support.

It is often used to recover safely at home after surgery, to manage a chronic condition, or to add clinical oversight to an existing home care plan. Some nursing visits may be covered through your provincial home care program, with the rest arranged privately. See home care options to combine nursing with day-to-day support.

Nursing Care: frequently asked questions

What does an in-home nurse do?
In-home nurses handle clinical care such as medication management, wound and ostomy care, injections, IV therapy, catheter care, and post-surgical monitoring, usually coordinated alongside personal support workers who help with daily tasks.
Is in-home nursing covered in Canada?
Often partly. Provincial home care programs fund some nursing visits based on an assessed medical need, especially after a hospital discharge. Additional or more frequent visits are typically arranged privately through an agency.
How much does in-home nursing cost?
Privately, nursing visits cost more per hour than personal support because of the clinical training involved. Publicly funded visits arranged through your province are free to the client but limited to the assessed need.
How is nursing care different from personal support?
Nurses provide regulated clinical care (wounds, medications, IVs); personal support workers help with bathing, dressing, meals, and mobility. Many home care plans combine both, with nurses overseeing the medical side.
