You get a complimentary follow-up phone call the next day to check on you, go over instructions and ensure you are safe and doing well.
So much more is done in caring for you with compassion and dignity
Another thing that sets me apart? Your nurse is an ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support) Provider and has invested in a Phillips AED. AEDs are expensive and not carried by home care nurses. The hope is to not use it but should it be necessary, you know you have someone who has been in multiple codes over the last 17 years and knows how to use emergency equipment.
(CPAN and CAPA are the two Certifications administered by ASPAN (American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses)
