Private duty nursing is often necessary for individuals with complex medical needs that require frequent or continuous care. Examples include:

• Individuals with Chronic Illnesses: Such as those with advanced respiratory conditions (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)), heart failure, or diabetes.
• Individuals with Neurological Conditions: Including those with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), multiple sclerosis, or traumatic brain injury, who require ongoing medical support and monitoring.
• Children with Special Needs: Children with severe disabilities, congenital conditions, or those requiring ventilators or feeding tubes often receive private duty nursing.
• Post-Surgical Patients: Individuals recovering from major surgeries such as organ transplants or joint replacements may require short-term or long-term PDN.
• End-of-Life Care: Individuals requiring palliative care due to terminal illness, ensuring pain management, comfort, and dignity during the final stages of life.
