  • Inform Staffing Coordinators without delay of any schedule disruptions, including lateness, time-off requests, or hour reductions.

Patient Population & Clinical Setting

Clients live at home and require sustained skilled nursing because of catastrophic or complex injuries. Most depend on continuous respiratory support and personal assistance that cannot be met by intermittent home-health visits or institutional placement.

Frequent Diagnoses Spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, ventilator dependence, tracheostomy
Living Arrangement Private residence
Care Intensity High-acuity, ongoing, medically complex
Age Range Primarily adults; other ages may be served according to case assignment

Clinical Focus & Key Services

The professional core of the role is sustained private-duty nursing for clients whose lives depend on mechanical ventilation or a tracheostomy. Clinical activity centers on airway stability, adherence to the established Plan of Care, and the full spectrum of medical and personal support that enables safe residence at home.

Airway Management Ventilator support and tracheostomy care
Care Continuity Model Long-term one-to-one private-duty nursing
Guiding Framework Individualized Plans of Care authored by the Nurse Supervisor
Injury Spectrum Spinal-cord, brain-injury, and related high-complexity conditions

Role Highlights

Unlike general home-health LPN positions that rotate among many short visits, this role concentrates exclusively on ventilator- and tracheostomy-dependent clients within a private-duty framework that favors lasting placement with a single individual.

  • Dedicated vent and trach private-duty cases instead of mixed intermittent home-health caseloads
  • Preference for multi-month or longer placements with the same client
  • Employer-supported training pathway for LPNs new to or refreshing vent and trach skills
  • True one-to-one care ratio inside the client’s home under Nurse Supervisor direction

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need existing ventilator or tracheostomy experience to apply?
No. Experience is preferred, yet the employer offers training for LPNs who want to acquire or refresh these competencies.

Yes. The private-duty model is structured to allow long-term placement with one client whenever case volume and staffing permit.
Will every assignment require me to drive the client?
Driving is required only on those cases that specifically include transport privileges and only when the LPN holds a valid driver’s license.
How is day-to-day clinical direction provided?
All care follows an individualized Plan of Care prepared by the Nurse Supervisor and kept available inside the client’s home.
What happens if I need to change my available hours?
Any change—tardiness, requested time off, or reduction in hours—must be reported promptly to the Staffing Coordinator so coverage can be adjusted.
Are there extra pay incentives beyond the base hourly rate?
Bilingual caregivers receive hourly premiums, and qualified new hires may be eligible for a sign-on bonus.
Is the role limited to adult clients?
Most cases involve adults with complex injuries, yet individual assignments may include other age groups according to the specific client needs.
