Online, today
Before 2pm is usually same day.
A registered nurse comes to your address in Lekki, does the job, charts it, and hands over to you in writing before they leave. An hour for one task, a shift so the house can go to work, or a rostered 24 hours after a discharge. You see the whole price before you book: the nurse's time, plus the procedures they actually perform, plus a refundable deposit for anything they use up.
Lekki is in our Island Core zone, which carries no call-out fee at all.
Lekki Phase 1, Ikate and Oniru sit in Island Core, where there is no call-out fee. Lekki Phase 2, Chevron, Agungi and Ikota sit in the Lekki to Ajah zone, where call-out is added at checkout and waived once the service total clears the threshold. You see which one applies before you pay, not after.

What happens, step by step
- 1
Pick how long you need someone
An hour for a single task at ₦40,000, three hours for an infusion that has to run, twelve hours so somebody can work, or round the clock. Every band and its price is on this page.
- 2
Choose a three hour window
Morning, midday, afternoon or evening, today or any day in the next two weeks. Shifts start at 7am or 7pm. We sell a window, not a minute, because Lagos traffic does not honour minutes and a promise we cannot keep is worth nothing.
- 3
Pay online, deposit included
Card or transfer. Anything that consumes dressings, cannulas or catheters carries a refundable deposit. We charge what was used, send the receipts, and refund the balance within 48 hours.

Home nurse in Lekki: what people ask
How much is a home nurse in Lekki?
The shortest visit, up to an hour for one task, is ₦40,000. Three hours is ₦60,000. A 12 hour day shift is ₦130,000 and a night shift is ₦150,000. Round the clock cover, run properly as two nurses on two shifts, is ₦280,000 a day. Procedures are billed on top at the rates on this page. Lekki is in our Island Core zone, which carries no call-out fee at all.
How soon can a nurse reach Lekki?
Same day if you book before 2pm, otherwise the next morning. Lekki is our densest zone and the one we reach fastest. Book before 2pm and it is usually the same day.
Why is the procedure not included in the visit fee?
Because bundling would charge everybody for a catheter most people never need. A nurse who comes for an hour and takes observations should not cost the same as a nurse who comes for an hour and dresses a major wound. You pay for the time, then for the work, and you agree the work before it happens.
Can one nurse cover 24 hours?
No, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you a tired nurse. Our 24 hour cover is two registered nurses on two 12 hour shifts with a written handover between them, which is why it is priced as two shifts at ₦280,000 a day.
Who actually turns up?
A nurse registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria, checked before they are dispatched. You get the name and number of whoever is assigned before they arrive at your gate.
What if the nurse finds something wrong?
They escalate to a Mezo doctor on an open line, at no extra charge. If the situation needs a hospital, we arrange admission into the Mezo network rather than leaving you to ring around at night.
