Understanding Skilled Nursing Care at Home

Skilled nursing care involves medical services that must be performed by licensed nursing professionals. Through Lynden Nursing Service, families may be referred RNs and LPNs who can provide skilled care in the comfort of a client’s home, helping reduce hospital visits and support recovery in a familiar environment.


This type of care is often appropriate for seniors or adults managing chronic conditions, recovering from surgery, or requiring ongoing medical monitoring. Nursing services are provided pursuant to physician orders, as required by Florida State law.

Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses Explained

Lynden Nursing Service refers both registered nurses and licensed practical nurses, depending on the client’s medical needs and physician directives.


Registered Nurses (RNs) are licensed professionals who can perform comprehensive assessments, monitor complex medical conditions, and coordinate care plans.


Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) provide routine nursing care under the supervision of a physician or Registered Nurse.



Our Client Referral Representatives work closely with families to help determine the appropriate level of nursing support based on medical requirements and care goals.

A Personalized Referral Process Focused on Your Needs


Lynden Nursing Service is not a home care agency. As a nurse registry, we refer independent contractor nursing professionals who meet registry screening requirements. Our role is to guide families through the referral process and help coordinate nursing support that aligns with the client’s medical needs, preferences, and schedule.


From your initial call, our team takes the time to understand your situation, explain our services clearly, and help you move forward with confidence during what can often be a stressful time.

Supporting Recovery, Safety, and Independence

Skilled nursing referrals can be especially beneficial during critical transitions, including post-hospitalization recovery, post-surgical care, or the management of chronic or progressive conditions. Receiving skilled care at home allows clients to recover in a comfortable, familiar environment while maintaining dignity and independence.


Referred nurses work collaboratively with physicians and family members to support continuity of care and promote positive health outcomes.

Thoroughly Screened Nursing Referrals


Trust and safety are essential when coordinating medical care at home. All nursing professionals referred through Lynden Nursing Service are thoroughly screened prior to referral.

Our goal is to help families coordinate care that fits their medical needs while minimizing disruption to daily life.
