In concert with you and your baby's care provider, the Tamworth Nurse can provide skilled nursing care in our offices here in town, or in your home.

We have disposable adult underwear, diapers, wipes, gait belts, gloves, masks, hand sanitizer, nutrition drinks, disposable tubing -- all free for Tamworth residents. If you need something not on this list, give us a call, we probably have it, or know where to get it.

For older residents and folks who have difficulty shopping or preparing meals, contact us to receive hot, healthy meals delivered to your home every weekday.
Blood Pressure & Other Vital Sign Checks

Stay on top of your health and drop in for a check on your vital signs. Home blood pressure cuffs and similar home-use equipment is fine, but sometimes it's worth it to get the work done by a pro.
