In-home nursing is not just used for traditional purposes; it can also help heal patients with mental health issues in the comfort of their own home. Psychiatric nurses asses the patient in his or her home and develops a treatment plan, then works with other professionals to monitor the patient.

Nurses first started visiting homes to assist patients back in the 1880s in New York, when free nursing care was given to the sickest and poorest people who otherwise had no access to healthcare.
