What a Typical Home Infusion Experience Looks Like.

For many patients, the idea of getting IV medication outside the hospital can sound new or even a little intimidating. But at Kariah Healthcare LLC, we make home infusion therapy simple, safe, and supportive — so patients can focus on healing in the comfort of their own homes. Let’s walk through a real-life example of what a typical home infusion experience looks like. Meet John Imagine John, a patient recovering from a serious bone infection. After spending a few days in the hospital, his infection is finally under control — but his doctor says he’ll need several more weeks of IV antibiotics to make a full recovery. Instead of staying in the hospital, John’s care team decides he’s ready for home infusion therapy.

Step 1: PICC Line Placement

• Before going home, John’s doctor places a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) — a small tube that gives him long-term IV access. This allows medication to go directly into his bloodstream without repeated needle sticks.
• Step 2: Referral to Kariah Healthcare.
• The hospital care team sends a referral to Kariah Healthcare’s home infusion program. Our team coordinates with John’s doctor and specialty pharmacy to prepare the medication and plan his first home visit.
• Step 3: First Home Visit.
• A Kariah Healthcare nurse visits John at home for his first infusion.
• Administers the first dose of antibiotics Checks his vital signs Teaches John how to care for his PICC line Reviews safety steps and what symptoms to watch for By the end of the visit, John feels confident — and relieved that he can recover at home instead of in a hospital bed.
• Step 4: Ongoing Care and Monitoring
• Over the next few weeks, our nurses visit John on a set schedule to: Give his antibiotic infusions Inspect the PICC line for any issues Take notes on his progress Report updates directly to his doctor This team-based approach ensures John gets the same quality of care he would receive in the hospital — without leaving home.
• Step 5: Healing at Home
• Thanks to home infusion therapy, John:
• Sleeps in his own bed
• Eats home-cooked meals
• Spends time with family
• Avoids hospital costs and infections
• He gets hospital-level treatment — without the hospital stay.
