Personalized, Thoughtfully Coordinated Nursing Support Throughout California

TLC Nurse Solutions is a women-owned, private-pay California nurse registry connecting individuals and families with experienced independent Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) for personalized nursing care throughout the state.

We coordinate private duty nursing services for individuals recovering from surgery or hospitalization, managing complex medical conditions, requiring ongoing clinical support, or navigating changes in their healthcare needs. Our services also include nurse case management, care coordination, and hospital advocacy through experienced independent Registered Nurses.

Nursing arrangements are developed around each client’s clinical requirements, physician-directed treatments, preferred schedule, care environment, and goals for continuity. Services may be coordinated in private residences, temporary accommodations, recovery environments, hospitals, and other appropriate settings.

Whether you are preparing for a planned procedure, exploring nursing support for a loved one, or coordinating care among multiple healthcare professionals, TLC welcomes the opportunity to help you understand your options.

Planning and Coordinating Your Private Nursing Arrangement

How to Begin

Families and professional care partners are welcome to contact TLC while nursing plans are still developing.

Our Care Coordination team begins by learning about the client’s clinical needs, location, anticipated start date, preferred schedule, care environment, and specialized nursing requirements.

Relevant physician orders, discharge instructions, medication lists, and other clinical information may help clarify the requested responsibilities.

TLC then explores the availability of appropriately qualified independent nursing professionals who may be interested in the assignment.

Thoughtful Nurse Matching and Continuity of Care

Clinical qualifications are essential, and successful ongoing nursing arrangements also benefit from appropriate scheduling, communication, and familiarity with the client’s needs.

TLC considers professional experience, location, availability, scheduling preferences, and relevant personal considerations when coordinating nursing referrals.

For recurring care, we value opportunities to establish consistent nursing relationships that allow independent nurses to become familiar with the client’s routines, clinical requirements, and established healthcare team.

The Value of Advance Planning

Advance planning provides additional time to review clinical requirements, identify qualified nursing professionals, and develop appropriate schedules.

It can be especially helpful before planned surgery, anticipated hospital discharge, transplant recovery, specialized treatment, or the establishment of extended nursing coverage.

For around-the-clock arrangements, a nursing team may be developed gradually as additional qualified independent nurses become available.

We also welcome inquiries when nursing needs arise unexpectedly.

Visit Advance Planning for Private Nursing Support for more information.

Working With Families and Professional Care Partners

Private duty nursing, nurse case management, care coordination, and hospital advocacy often involve collaboration among family members, treating physicians, discharge planners, case managers, professional fiduciaries, concierge medical practices, trustees, conservators, and other trusted advisors.

TLC coordinates nursing referrals and administrative arrangements while independent nurses communicate with the appropriate healthcare professionals regarding the clinical services they provide.

Our team welcomes opportunities to work collaboratively with existing healthcare professionals to support organized nursing arrangements and continuity across care settings.

Understanding Private-Pay Nursing Support

TLC Nurse Solutions operates as a California private-pay nurse registry rather than a traditional home health agency.

Our team coordinates referrals, scheduling, administrative communication, documentation processes, and billing. Independent nursing professionals remain responsible for the clinical care they provide, including professional judgment, nursing documentation, and practice within their authorized scope.

TLC invoices clients directly and receives payments directly for nursing services coordinated through the registry.

Pricing is individualized according to the nursing services requested, clinical requirements, schedule, and applicable arrangements. Our team explains pricing and service agreements before nursing coverage begins.

TLC does not provide medications, medical supplies, or equipment. These are arranged separately by the client, treating provider, pharmacy, or other responsible party.

Private-pay nursing arrangements are distinct from traditional insurance-funded home health services. Depending on individual circumstances and policy provisions, clients may explore long-term care insurance or other reimbursement options.
