Medicines at home: what a nurse can help with
Medicare’s list of covered skilled nursing includes injections, intravenous or nutrition therapy, and patient and caregiver education. For a Placentia family, that can look like:
- A medicine check on the first visit. The nurse lines up what the hospital prescribed with what’s in the cabinet, and points out duplicates or old bottles to set aside for your doctor or pharmacist to review.
- Teaching an injection. A nurse shows you how, watches you do it, and comes back to make sure it’s going well.
- IV or nutrition therapy when your doctor orders it, with the nurse handling the skilled parts.
- Simple routines. A pill organizer, a chart on the fridge, alarms on a phone, whatever fits your household.
When to call the nurse
We’ll leave you with a short list of things that mean “call us,” like new confusion, dizziness after a medicine change, or a missed dose you’re not sure how to handle. A real person answers our line at any hour.
Where Placentia patients come home from
Many Placentia residents come home after a stay at Providence St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton, or at Kaiser Permanente’s Anaheim Medical Center on East La Palma Avenue. We mention them only as places families come home from; we’re independent of both. When the hospital raises home health, ask for the list of agencies serving Placentia. Medicare says the provider should give you one, and the choice is yours.Local support

Placentia neighborhoods and nearby hospitals
From our office at 13800 Arizona St #200 in Westminster, our nurses and therapists visit homes across Placentia, including Old Town Placentia around Santa Fe and Bradford avenues, the bungalow-era homes beside it, and the neighborhoods near Tri-City Park on Kraemer Boulevard. UCI Health – Placentia Linda on Rose Drive is in Placentia, and many residents also come home from Providence St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton or Kaiser Permanente’s Anaheim Medical Center on East La Palma Avenue. 24/7 Care at Home is an independent agency and is not affiliated with these hospitals.
Vietnamese- and English-speaking staff
Our team speaks Vietnamese and English. When care is set up, families can ask for a Vietnamese-speaking nurse, and we work to match that request, so a parent can ask questions directly.
How referrals work
A doctor, nurse practitioner, hospital case manager or skilled nursing facility discharge planner can refer a patient to us, and families are welcome to contact 24/7 Care at Home first. We request the order from the doctor, go over Medicare or plan coverage with you, and schedule a start-of-care visit. At that visit the nurse or therapist checks medicines against the discharge list, looks at home safety and writes the plan of care with your doctor. Our agency holds a CMS Care Compare 5-star quality rating and 4-star patient survey rating (Oct 2026).
