IV Therapy Services
IV therapy is a clinical practice used to deliver fluids, antibiotics and nutrients to a patient’s bloodstream. It can be administered in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities.
Fluids metabolize faster in the body, so IV fluid is an effective method for dispensing medications, antibiotics and other liquids. Embassy Healthcare offers IV therapy to help treat conditions.
The staff at Embassy Healthcare strives to instill a personalized approach to IV therapy. We’re committed to providing a sense of comfort to put you or your loved one at ease during treatment.
How IV Therapy Safely Administers Medications and Fluids
Our RNs, LPNs and medical support staff specialize in providing efficient IV therapy services to enhance your or your loved one’s treatment. Sometimes referred to as infusion therapy, this type of treatment offers precise dosages of medications, vitamins, nutrients and fluids for quick administration. IV therapy is relatively painless and patients can recline while receiving treatment.
The injection site is carefully sterilized before insertion, and we monitor the fluid flow rate continuously to ensure patient comfort. IV therapy offers quick absorption and fewer digestive issues compared to oral administration.
A very lovely place with a welcoming atmosphere."

Administration of Medications and Fluids
Some conditions require consistent medication and fluid administration to support recovery and symptom management. IV therapy can be used to deliver prescription medication, chemotherapy and anti-nausea drugs into your loved one’s bloodstream. That’s essential if they need immediate administration.
Nutritional Support
Your loved one may require IV therapy to provide nutritional support if they can’t eat or digest food normally. They will receive essential vitamins and minerals via their IV line, which may be necessary if they’re recovering from surgery, undergoing treatment or have gastrointestinal issues.
Antibiotic and Antiviral Therapy
IV therapy is sometimes needed to treat severe infections as it can provide high doses of medications quickly. The fast response can reduce the risk of further complications and expedite the recovery process.
Hydration Therapy
Dehydration can affect your loved one’s blood oxygen, body temperature and cognitive function. IV hydration therapy ensures they receive the fluids, electrolytes and nutrients their body needs to function.
Blood Transfusions
IV therapy is a safe and effective way to provide blood to a patient, which can take several hours. Your loved one may require a blood transfusion if they’ve sustained trauma, had surgery, live with a chronic condition or have a blood disorder.
Continuous Monitoring and Adjustment
Our staff are trained to monitor and assist patients undergoing IV therapy to ensure they receive the correct dosage and medication safely. We monitor vital signs including heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and oxygen levels to verify your loved one’s well-being during treatment. Immediate adjustments are made if there is any discomfort or issue.
