About Us
We began in 1946
as a co-op of nurses in a local hospital who coordinated to help their patients at home after discharge.
Over the decades, it has been our mission to serve the Northern Virginia community by bringing together professional independent care providers and patients who seek home health care.
Our purpose is to facilitate the choice to remain in the comfort of your own home by providing direct access to elite level private nursing care at the lowest cost.
We support the concept of consumer-directed care by empowering people to have a voice in matters affecting their health care.
Our job is to match you with a qualified caregiver who’s right for you. With more than 200 of the best independent care providers in the region, we are equipped to connect you to Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN), and Registered Nurses (RN) who have passed our stringent, multi-level screening process. As a result, we register fewer than 4% of the nursing professionals who apply with our registry.
Nursing Referral Service personally interviews each applicant to ensure that our registry consists of only those top providers who specialize in homecare services.
We verify each applicant’s state nursing licenses, certificates, training, work experience, and references. We also verify the identity and work eligibility of each applicant, as well as a flawless criminal background check. Most importantly, we require that each applicant has at least a full year of experience and demonstrates a high standard of professional competence before registering with us. For your protection, every health professional carries professional liability insurance and is bonded through our company.
In addition to checking credentials and experience, we interview each caregiver to ensure that they are not only professional and reliable, but also have a warm, compassionate bedside manner and a dedication to patient health.
If cost is a concern, rest assured that using a freelance care provider is the most affordable option in home care — and a nurse registry service such as ours is the safest way to find a trusted professional.
The result of our strict requirements is a collection of the top talent in Virginia. Each is a trained, experienced professional who genuinely cares about providing quality in-home care to individual clients. Caregivers on our registry are dedicated to providing one-on-one care in a private duty setting, whether at home, in a nursing home, or in a hospital.
