⭐ #1 Home Care Agency in Philadelphia Area and Suburbs — Seniors · Pediatric · Veterans
When a child or adult needs ongoing nursing care at home, not just a short visit, A-Team provides private duty nursing: a registered nurse (RN) or licensed practical nurse (LPN) assigned to one patient for scheduled shifts, supervised by A-Team’s RN team. Licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and accredited by ACHC.
Home › Private Duty Nursing
While A-Team’s nurses cover the scheduled shifts, a family member providing the rest of the daily care may qualify to be paid as the caregiver through A-Team’s Family Caregiver Program.
NURSING CARE AT HOME
One nurse, one patient, for the length of each shift: hands-on nursing care at home from RNs and LPNs, supervised by A-Team’s registered nurse team.

WHO PRIVATE DUTY NURSING IS FOR
Private duty nursing fits when a patient needs a nurse present for hours at a time, not a short visit.
A child who depends on a trach or a ventilator needs a trained nurse close by. Private duty nursing puts one at home for the shift.
Scheduled G-tube feedings and multi-step medication routines handled by a nurse, so parents are not carrying every hour alone.
When seizures can happen at any time, a nurse who knows the protocol is in the room.
Adults whose care goes beyond what an aide can do and who need a nurse at home for extended hours, not a weekly visit.
SHIFTS, NOT SHORT VISITS
Private duty nursing is different from a skilled nursing visit. A visit lasts as long as the task. A private duty shift lasts hours, with the same nurse watching the patient the whole time, at home with the family.
HOW IT WORKS
From the first call to the first shift, with a registered nurse involved at every step.
Call (215) 490-9994 or use the form. Tell us about the patient, the care needed, and the hours you are looking for.
A registered nurse visits, reviews the patient’s needs and orders, and builds a written plan of care. No charge.
A-Team checks which programs apply. For most children with complex medical needs, Medicaid EPSDT covers private duty nursing with no out-of-pocket cost.
An RN or LPN with the right skills is matched to the patient, and shifts begin on the agreed schedule under A-Team’s RN supervision.

NURSING AND PERSONAL CARE, ONE AGENCY
Some patients need a nurse for certain hours and a home health aide for others. A-Team provides both under one plan of care, so the family works with one agency.
