Private Nursing Care Calgary | IV Therapy, Wound Care & 24/7 LPN

Private-Pay Nursing

Hospital-grade clinical care, without the fluorescent lights.

Some care belongs in the hospital. Most of it doesn't. Private nursing means an LPN at your bedside or kitchen table — for the kind of clinical work that, until recently, only happened in a clinical building.

Apex private nursing is led by a CLHA-licensed Licensed Practical Nurse with nine years of bedside experience. Every clinical visit is documented to the same standard you would expect from any reputable Alberta facility — and shared with your physician, surgical team, or palliative consultant on request.

Direct LPN visits — no agency intermediaries
Documentation suitable to share with your physician or specialist
Single visits or recurring care plans, your choice
Visits as short as 30 minutes for medication or IV pushes

Palliative and end-of-life care at home in Calgary

Palliative & End-of-Life

Comfort, dignity, and unhurried presence.

Palliative care, done well, is mostly about doing less — but doing it carefully. Symptom comfort. The right meds at the right intervals. A quiet room. A practised hand to settle a difficult night.

Our palliative nursing visits collaborate with your palliative consultant or family physician. Where the family wants to be present and not be the nurse, we step in. Where the family wants to do everything themselves and just have a steady professional in the background, we step back.

When Private Nursing Helps

Common reasons families call us first.

·

Discharge from Hospital

Post-surgical, post-cardiac, post-stroke. The first 72 hours at home shape the next six weeks.

·

Bridging Public Care

When AHS visit frequency isn't enough — additional private LPN visits to fill the gap, with full clinical handover.

·

End-of-Life at Home

Families wanting to be present without becoming the primary nurse. We carry the clinical load.

·

Complex Medication Setup

New regimen, insulin pump, injectable biologic, anticoagulation — set up and reinforced safely.

·

IV Antibiotics at Home

Continuing an IV course at home with daily LPN visits, line flushes and progress documentation.

·

Travelling Family

Out-of-town family wants a clinical presence at a parent's home for the week. We can do that.
