Home Nurse vs. Attendant – Understanding the Difference
📍 Location: Office #1, First Floor, Ayesha Plaza, Near Main Car Chowk, Gulraiz Housing Scheme, Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan
At Lajpal Care, we are often asked about the difference between a home nurse and a patient attendant. While both play important roles in home healthcare, their responsibilities and qualifications differ significantly. Knowing this difference helps families choose the right care for their loved ones.
👩⚕️ What Is a Home Nurse?
A home nurse is a trained and licensed healthcare professional who provides medical care at home. This care includes:
-
Administering medications and injections
-
Monitoring vitals (blood pressure, sugar levels, etc.)
-
Wound dressing and post-surgery care
-
Managing medical equipment like catheters, IV drips, and oxygen
-
Assisting with chronic conditions and rehabilitation
Home nurses are suitable for patients with serious health conditions, post-operative care needs, or those requiring medical procedures under professional supervision.
🤝 What Is a Patient Attendant?
A patient attendant or caregiver offers non-medical support and helps with daily living activities, such as:
-
Bathing, grooming, and toileting
-
Feeding and mobility assistance
-
Changing clothes and maintaining hygiene
-
Emotional companionship
-
Reminding patients to take medicines (but not administering them)
Patient attendants are ideal for elderly care, long-term support, and patients who need personal assistance rather than direct medical interventions.
🏠 Which One Do You Need?
Choose a home nurse if your patient requires:
-
Wound care, injections, catheter/NG tube care, or monitoring for recovery
Choose a patient attendant if your patient needs:
-
Help with daily routine, companionship, and general caregiving without medical involvement
