Concierge Nursing vs. Traditional Home Health — What’s the Difference?

What Is Traditional Home Health Care?

Traditional home health care is typically covered by insurance and designed for short-term, medically necessary support—often after a hospital stay or illness. It’s structured around physician orders, insurance approvals, and strict documentation.

Key Characteristics:

• Care based on medical necessity and insurance guidelines

• Short visits (usually 30–60 minutes)

• Protocols driven by paperwork and billing

• Nurses managing high caseloads

While this model serves many patients well, it can feel rushed or impersonal—more focused on systems than on the person receiving care.

What Is Concierge Nursing?

Concierge nursing is a private-pay, client-centered model that puts your needs first. At Shoal Light, we offer extended, personalized visits with full transparency and direct access to your nurse. No insurance hoops. No rushed appointments. Just care that feels like sanctuary.

What Sets It Apart:

• Longer visits with focused, individualized attention

• No insurance restrictions or pre-approvals

• Scheduling that fits your life, not a billing cycle

• Seamless coordination with your doctors and specialists

• Enhanced privacy and comfort in your own home

It’s care that adapts to you—not the other way around.
