Speciality & Chronic Illness Nursing Care

​

Boston Nursing Care & Consulting provides private specialty nursing for clients living with complex, chronic and often misunderstood conditions, including postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and related disorders.

 

We serve clients throughout Boston and the surrounding Massachusetts communities. These conditions affect every person differently, and they can make daily life, travel and even routine care difficult. Our nurses bring knowledgeable, compassionate one-on-one support into the comfort of home, with care built around your body, your triggers and your goals.

​

Specialty Care Led by Registered Nurses

 

Our specialty nursing team is led by experienced Registered Nurses (RNs) who understand the complexity of multi-system chronic illness. We work alongside your specialists, including cardiologists, allergists and immunologists, neurologists, gastroenterologists, rheumatologists and oncologists. We follow their treatment plans closely and keep every provider informed. We take the time to learn your history, symptom patterns and sensitivities, so you never have to start from scratch explaining your condition.
