IV Therapy from licensed nurses
Many infusions that once kept people in the hospital can be given safely at home. Finishing a course of IV antibiotics in your own bed is easier on the patient and the family, and it frees up the hospital stay for when it's truly needed.
Our nurses coordinate with the prescribing physician and the infusion pharmacy, start or manage the line, give the infusion, and teach patients and caregivers what to watch for between visits.
Our nurses provide iv therapy in homes across the San Fernando Valley, Thousand Oaks, Santa Clarita and Valencia, and the Westside from Brentwood to Bel Air.

FAQ
Common questions about iv therapy
Who supplies the IV medication?
An infusion pharmacy usually dispenses the medication and supplies. We coordinate with them and the physician so deliveries line up with visits.
What if the line stops working?
Call our office. A nurse will troubleshoot by phone and visit if needed. Never force a flush into a blocked line.
Is home IV therapy safe?
With proper orders, training and monitoring, home infusion is a common and well-established part of care. Your nurse will explain the specific risks of your medication.
