Patient Success Story
Recovery After Hip Replacement Surgery
"After my hip replacement surgery, I was concerned about how I would manage at home. Nivora's nursing team provided exceptional care that made my recovery much smoother than I expected. My nurse visited daily to monitor my wound, administer medications, and guide me through my exercises. She also taught my family how to assist me safely. Thanks to the personalized care I received, I recovered faster than anticipated and avoided complications. I'm now back to my normal activities and enjoying life without pain."

Frequently Asked Questions
How often will a nurse visit my home?
The frequency of nursing visits depends on your specific healthcare needs and the care plan developed in consultation with your physician. Visits can range from daily to weekly, and the schedule can be adjusted as your condition changes. Some patients require multiple visits per day, while others may need less frequent care.
Will I have the same nurse for all my visits?
We strive to maintain consistency in care by assigning the same primary nurse to each patient whenever possible. This approach allows the nurse to become familiar with your specific needs and preferences, and helps build a trusting relationship. However, we do have a team-based approach, so you may occasionally have a different nurse if your primary nurse is unavailable.
How do you ensure the quality of nursing care?
We maintain high standards of care through several measures: rigorous hiring processes, regular training and skill assessments, supervision by clinical managers, adherence to evidence-based protocols, regular care plan reviews, and ongoing patient satisfaction surveys. We also maintain open communication with patients, families, and physicians to ensure that care is meeting expectations and achieving desired outcomes.
Can your nurses administer specialized treatments?
Yes, our registered nurses are trained to administer a wide range of specialized treatments, including IV therapy, injections, wound vacuum therapy, tube feedings, ventilator care, and other complex medical interventions. If you require a specific treatment, please discuss this during your initial assessment so we can ensure we assign a nurse with the appropriate expertise.
How do your nurses communicate with my doctor?
Our nurses maintain regular communication with your physician to ensure coordinated care. They provide detailed reports on your condition, response to treatments, and any concerns that arise. This communication may occur through written reports, phone calls, or electronic health records, depending on your physician's preference. Our nurses also follow your physician's orders and will contact them promptly if there are any significant changes in your condition.
