Requesting a nurse at home can make it easier to receive certain healthcare procedures and nursing support without traveling to a clinic or hospital.
At Doctor At Home Mexico, we connect patients with nursing professionals available in different cities. Care can be provided at a house, apartment, hotel, senior residence, or temporary accommodation, depending on local coverage, the requested procedure, and professional availability.
Because our network continues to grow, the easiest way to know whether a nurse at home is available near you is to share your location and tell us what type of care you need.
What does a nurse at home do?
A nurse at home travels to the patient’s location to provide nursing care, perform certain procedures, or assist with follow-up needs.
This service may be especially useful for:
- Patients with limited mobility.
- Older adults.
- Patients recovering after surgery.
- People who require periodic nursing procedures.
- Patients who prefer to receive certain types of care without traveling to a clinic.
Services may be provided at private homes, apartments, hotels, senior residences, or other locations where appropriate nursing care can be safely delivered.
What services can a nurse at home provide?
Available procedures vary depending on the city, the nursing professional, and the patient’s needs.
Medication administration
A nurse at home may administer prescribed medications through different routes when there is an appropriate indication and the procedure can be safely performed outside a clinic.
Injections at home
Patients may also request intramuscular or subcutaneous injections when appropriate.
Wound care and dressing changes
Our home nursing care services may include wound care, dressing changes, and follow-up according to the patient’s needs and the type of wound.
IV therapy and line care
Some nursing professionals may provide procedures related to intravenous therapy or line care when the required conditions are met and the procedure is appropriate for home care.
Vital signs monitoring
Home nursing visits may also include monitoring of:
- Blood pressure.
- Heart rate.
- Temperature.
- Oxygen saturation.
- Other parameters when required.
Ongoing nursing support
Depending on the patient’s needs, nursing professionals may also provide support for people recovering from illness or surgery, older adults, or patients requiring periodic care.
Not every nursing professional or city offers the same procedures. Availability should therefore be confirmed before requesting the service.
How do I request a nurse at home?
The process begins by identifying the patient’s location and the type of nursing care required.
1. Share your location
Your location allows us to determine whether coverage is available and which professionals may be able to reach you.
2. Tell us what procedure you need
Provide a short description of the requested service, such as:
- Wound care.
- Medication administration.
- Injection.
- Dressing change.
- Vital signs monitoring.
- Post-surgical nursing care.
When a physician has already provided instructions, it is helpful to have the prescription, medical order, or related information available.
3. We check availability
The request can be matched with professionals who are compatible with the patient’s location and required procedure.
4. Receive service information
Before confirming the visit, you can receive information about availability, the procedure, and the corresponding price.
5. The nurse comes to your location
Once the service is confirmed, the nursing professional travels to the specified home, hotel, or accommodation.
How much does a nurse at home cost?
A nurse at home service does not have a single fixed national price because nursing procedures can vary significantly.
The final cost may depend on:
- Type of procedure.
- Required supplies.
- Duration of the service.
- Time of day.
- Travel distance.
- Patient location.
- Number of visits required.
For this reason, each service is quoted according to the patient’s specific needs.
This approach allows for a more accurate estimate than publishing one generic price for very different types of nursing care.
Is a nurse at home available in my city?
Doctor At Home Mexico provides home nursing services in different cities like Puerto Vallarta, Merida, Chapala, Guadalajara, Puebla, San Luis Potosi and our professional network continues to expand.
Availability may vary according to the patient’s location, requested procedure, and nursing professionals available at that time.
Do I need a doctor first?
In some cases, patients already know which nursing procedure they need because they have a previous medical indication.
In other situations, a medical assessment may be necessary before a procedure or treatment is performed.
If you need a medical evaluation first, you can also request our doctor at home service.
Nurse at home for older adults
Home nursing care can be particularly helpful for older adults who have difficulty traveling or require periodic support.
Depending on availability and the patient’s needs, services may include:
- Vital signs monitoring.
- Wound care.
- Medication administration.
- Specific nursing support.
- Follow-up after medical procedures.
Each case should be considered according to the patient’s individual needs.
Nurse at home after surgery
After certain surgical procedures, some patients may require nursing care that does not necessarily need to be performed inside a hospital.
When appropriately indicated, a nurse at home may assist with wound care, dressing changes, medication administration, and other post-surgical nursing procedures.
Whether these services can be provided at home depends on the patient’s condition and the type of care required.
When is home nursing not appropriate?
Home nursing does not replace emergency medical care.
Patients experiencing severe breathing difficulty, intense chest pain, loss of consciousness, prolonged seizures, major bleeding, or rapid deterioration should seek emergency medical attention.

These may include:
