General medical and surgical home care nursing can include a number of skilled nursing services in a home setting. These services range from providing patients with accurate evaluations and treatment, to offering important education and information to patients and family members.

Skilled nurses often care for patients that have had a recent diagnosis or surgery, are returning from a prolonged hospital stay, suffer from a chronic illness, or have diabetes that is newly diagnosed or unstable.
