Home Instead Senior Care of Skokie Expands its State Licensure

HOME INSTEAD IN SKOKIE AWARDED HOME NURSING LICENSE FROM THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH

Home Instead Senior Care of Skokie/Chicago has expanded its state license to include the category of Home Nursing Services.  The Skokie based company completed a Public Health audit on March 13^th, after which it was awarded a Home Nursing license by the Illinois Department of Public Health.

In 2008, legislation required the Illinois Department of Public Health to start licensing private duty home care agencies.  The license has 3 tiers: Home Services, Home Nursing, and Home Health. 

We are proud to have been one of the first companies to have been awarded a license back in 2008.  Now, by expanding our license to include the Home Nursing category, we will be able to provide greater continuity of care.

Home Instead’s scope of care is, and will remain, non-medical in nature. However, the Home Nursing license will allow us to provide an expanded range of services in a number of situations, including hospice care, which can require the use of a home health aide or nursing assistant in the home.
