IV Therapy

Intravenous (IV) therapy is one of the most efficient ways to deliver medications, fluids, and essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream. By bypassing the digestive system, IV therapy allows for faster absorption and more immediate results. At Los Care Home Health, our licensed nurses bring this service right to your home—providing professional, personalized care while reducing the need for hospital visits and speeding up recovery time.

Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or simply need hydration or nutritional support, IV therapy offers a reliable solution. With the comfort of receiving care at home and the reassurance of being treated by skilled professionals, patients can focus fully on healing.

What to Expect from In-Home IV Therapy

At Los Care, your safety and comfort come first. Here's what the process looks like:

1. Personalized Treatment Plan

Before treatment begins, our team consults with your physician or specialist to determine the correct medication, dosage, and frequency tailored to your condition.

2. Safe & Sterile Administration

Our licensed nurses carefully select a suitable vein (typically in the arm or hand) and insert a sterile IV catheter. The infusion is continuously monitored to ensure comfort and avoid complications.

3. Monitoring & Adjustments

Patients are observed for any side effects like irritation or allergic reactions. If needed, the nurse will adjust the flow rate to ensure optimal hydration and comfort.

4. Post-Treatment Care

Once the therapy is complete, the IV line is removed, and the injection site is cleaned and bandaged. Nurses provide guidance for any aftercare and ensure any remaining medications are scheduled with your doctor.
