Collaboration, Not Competition: Strengthening Home Care Through Nursing Partnerships
As the demand for care at home continues to grow across Illinois, home care agencies are facing increasingly complex client needs. Families want their loved ones to remain at home, but those needs often extend beyond non-medical support—or fall into gaps where traditional home health services may not apply.
At HomeRNs+, we believe the solution is not competition, but collaboration.
The Changing Landscape of Care at Home
Today’s clients are living longer with chronic conditions, recovering from procedures sooner, and managing more complex medication regimens at home. While home care agencies play a vital role in providing personal care and daily support, there are moments when additional nursing oversight can make a meaningful difference.
These moments might include:
Medication changes after hospitalization
Short-term nursing needs that don’t qualify for home health
Families requesting RN reassurance or check-ins
Rather than placing the burden on agencies to stretch beyond their scope, partnerships allow each provider to do what they do best.
How HomeRNs+ Supports Home Care Agencies
HomeRNs+ is an Illinois-based nursing and concierge nursing service designed to supplement—not replace—existing home care services. We work alongside agencies to support clients who need intermittent or on-demand nursing services while continuing their established care relationships.
Our collaborative approach includes:
Nursing visits for medication management and clinical monitoring
Post-hospital or post-procedure nursing check-ins
Chronic condition oversight and care coordination
Nursing support for clients not eligible for home health services
Private-pay and concierge nursing options for families seeking enhanced care
This model helps agencies:
Maintain client satisfaction
Reduce caregiver and aide stress
Avoid scope-of-practice concerns
Provide continuity without losing clients
A Shared Goal: Better Outcomes at Home
When home care agencies and nursing services collaborate, everyone benefits:
Clients receive safer, more comprehensive care
Families gain peace of mind knowing a nurse is involved
Caregivers and aides feel supported, not overwhelmed
Agencies retain clients and strengthen trust
At HomeRNs+, we often refer clients back to trusted home care agencies for ongoing aide support, reinforcing long-term relationships rather than disrupting them.
Built on Experience, Compliance, and Respect
HomeRNs+ is founded and led by a nurse with over 20 years of clinical experience across emergency care, critical care, medical-surgical, private duty, and community-based nursing. We are committed to Illinois compliance, professional collaboration, and ethical care delivery.
Our mission is simple: Support agencies, empower caregivers, and help clients safely remain at home.
Let’s Work Together
We welcome conversations with home care agencies who are interested in exploring collaborative referral relationships or supplemental nursing support. Together, we can strengthen care delivery and better meet the evolving needs of our shared clients.
If you’re interested in partnering with HomeRNs+, we’d love to connect.
