Nation’s Infusion at Home Services
We offer a variety of infusion-based therapies including:
Medications
- Anti-infective therapies: Antibiotics, antivirals, and antifungals delivered by infusion can treat serious infections caused by bacteria, viruses, and other organisms.
- Anti-inflammatory and steroid therapies: These infusions are used to manage a range of chronic inflammatory conditions, including IBD, lupus, psoriasis, myasthenia gravis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Cancer treatments: Infused chemotherapy and immunotherapy may be used to treat certain cancers. Colony-stimulating factors can also be given to help stimulate blood cell production in patients undergoing chemotherapy.
- Cardiovascular therapies: Some infused medications are used to help manage conditions such as heart disease, heart failure, and high blood pressure.
- Pain medications: Infusions may be used to help control severe or long-term pain related to illness, injury, or recovery from procedures such as surgery.
- Post-transplant therapies: After an organ transplant, patients often require infusion-based medications to help prevent organ rejection.
- Treatments for bleeding disorders: Blood-clotting factor infusions help manage conditions that affect the body’s ability to produce or properly use clotting factors.
Nutritional Support
- Enteral and parenteral nutrition: Some conditions, including certain cancers and digestive disorders, can make it difficult to eat or absorb enough nutrients. Enteral nutrition provides nourishment through a feeding tube, while total parenteral nutrition delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream through a catheter placed in a vein.
Fluid and electrolyte replacement: Certain illnesses or medications can lead to dehydration and low levels of important minerals (electrolytes). Infused fluids with electrolytes can restore these levels more quickly than oral intake.
What to Expect
Most patients start infusion therapy after receiving care in a hospital setting. If continued treatment is needed at home, your provider may prescribe home infusion therapy. Here’s what you can expect from our home infusion services:
Discharge Planning
Our infusion and home care specialists coordinate with your hospital care team to support a smooth transition home. Your plan is customized based on your medications, dosing schedule, and other individual needs. Our financial coordinators also assist with insurance coverage, prior authorizations, and related details.
Your First Visit
A nurse will contact you before your first home visit to help you get ready. Your medication is delivered to your home, and a nursing visit is scheduled. The initial visit typically lasts longer than later visits—often two hours or more (this may vary, and you may also have a virtual visit between hospital discharge and the first home visit).
Receiving Your Medication
Your nurse will teach you and/or a caregiver how to administer the medication. The goal is to help you become as comfortable and independent as possible with your care. The process is straightforward, and your care team will support you at each step.
Training to Help Keep You Safe
Your nurse will review your medication and provide education on infusion therapy basics. This includes guidance on safe storage of medications, such as keeping them out of reach of children and pets. You will also learn about possible side effects and what actions to take if they occur.
Weekly Visits and Regular Contact
Medication is delivered weekly, and depending on your care plan, your nurse will visit at least once per week. During visits, your nurse completes health checks and other assessments as needed to support your ongoing care.
