Many care recipients understand that their illness or injury limits or restricts daily living activities making everyday life difficult. Most feel that by staying in their homes, they will feel more comfortable and secure but worry that their family or friends will be burdened with caring for them. Mastercare is here to help relieve those burdens while ensuring the care recipient receives the proper care and treatment needed.

Private Duty Nursing care is usually requested directly from the patient or family; a prescription from your doctor is not required. Because of the large variety of care available and licenses required. Private Duty care costs are usually covered directly by the patient or family; in some instances, private insurance may cover some costs as well.
