Physical and mental health assessment
Clinical observation, vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation), and overall condition assessment. This helps detect changes early and adjust care accordingly.
Understanding the service
What is in-home nursing care?
In-home nursing care allows you to receive professional medical procedures without having to travel to a clinic or hospital. A nurse comes directly to your home to perform prescribed care, monitor your health status, and adjust interventions according to how your condition evolves.
This service is for seniors living with chronic illness, patients recovering after surgery, and people whose health condition requires regular follow-up but who prefer to remain in their own living environment.
In Quebec, CLSCs provide in-home nursing care, but wait times can extend over several weeks. As a complement or alternative, a private service like Nomade can provide care more quickly, with flexible schedules and a dedicated nurse.

Why choose private care
Private nursing care vs CLSC: practical differences
Both options exist in Quebec, and each has advantages. Here is what distinguishes a private service like Nomade from care offered through the CLSC network.
Shorter wait times
Public wait times for in-home nursing care can last several weeks. With private care, services can begin quickly, often within a few days.
A dedicated nurse
You are supported by the same person from one visit to the next whenever possible. This continuity helps build a trusting relationship and ensures better follow-up of your condition.
Schedules adapted to your life
Morning, evening or weekend visits: scheduling adapts to your routine, not the other way around.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about in-home nursing care
How much does in-home nursing care cost?
Rates for in-home nursing care in Quebec generally range from $80 to $100 per hour, depending on the type of procedures required. Some private insurance plans cover part of these costs. The Nomade team can provide a detailed estimate after evaluating your needs.
Is a medical prescription required?
Some nursing procedures, such as medication injections, require a prescription from the treating physician. Other interventions, such as health assessment or wound care, may be initiated directly by the nurse within scope of practice.
How often does the nurse visit?
Visit frequency depends on your condition and needs. It can range from a single visit for stitch removal to daily visits for complex post-operative follow-up. The care plan is adjusted over time.
Are your nurses members of the OIIQ?
Yes. All nurses who provide in-home care through Nomade are qualified professionals and members of the Ordre des infirmieres et infirmiers du Quebec (OIIQ).
What is the difference between nursing care and home support?
Nursing care includes medical procedures performed by a nurse: clinical assessment, injections, wound care, and medication management. Home support concerns assistance with daily activities (bathing, dressing, meals, mobility) and is provided by care attendants or home support workers.
