Great mission, keeping up with all the changes in health care

In home care has to be the most rewarding job. You get to help people stay at home with their families and not feel like they are being cast away and forgotten. You learn so much from the patients and see how routine their lives have become over the years. The hardest part of this job that I found was one day I had to take care of a woman who did not – more... speak English well. But the most enjoyable part of the job is that still after years of not being an LNA I can look back and know that not only did I hopefully change and make their lives better but they changed me and made me a better person. Management is wonderful and always willing to work with you and help in any way they can. – less

Your day began at home; on the telephone, making appointments, referrals, doing research, coordinating with other disciplines. Meanwhile doing managed care and MD reports, entering coordination notes, making client schedule on tablet and completing reports from previous visits. In addition to being bombarded with telephone calls from the office and – more... other disciplines. After about 3 hours you head out to the field to visit 4-5 patients per day - which can be anywhere from 1 to 25 miles apart;a visit can be from fortyfive minuites to 2 hours. Then return home to attempt to complete case notes and reports. – less

Bed bath or shower, Fix a meal or go to dinning room. Set an have a nice visit with client. Some light cleaning.

I learned if a client dose not want to do any thing you can not make them do it. You are a guest in there home.

The only thing I can think of for management is keeping notes logging .
Co-workers giving them a good report and good notes.

Meeting – more... the client for the first time and getting them to like you.

Showing them love, support and kindness. – less

I was a certified home health aide. I wanted to take care of patients on a weekly basis to help them recover or make them comfortable while in their home. I did daily patient care, bathing and feeding. Sometimes shopped for food and did a load of laundry. I am very compassionate and loved working with hospice patients and their families. The most enjoyable – more... part of my job was putting a smile on my patients faces each day. – less

Worst place I've ever worked, they are very nice until you begin to question the conflicting information you are given, then you will see the complete lack of accountability and deceit used by managemnt to maintain their control. The amount of work expected is unreasonable and I frequently worked 12 hours per day being paid for only 8. I was expected – more... to discharge patients who still had unresolved medical problems when their insurance payments stopped.Was verbally attacked and spoken to unprofessionally in a pulblic setting on many occassions. Don't waste your time! – less

Receive, organize, enter, and report visit forms prepared by field staff, coordinate batch processing with management and other departments, ensure accurate and timely compensation, maintain regulatory and contractual compliance.

I was an aid scheduler for almost 10 years and the guidelines changed so they demoted me. Then fired me. Said i forgot to do something No severance pay since they deliberately demoted me to a position that 3 people before me got fired too.

Working at Visiting Nurse was very exciting and I enjoyed my job and interacting with the nurses and co-workers. I learned that as long as you produce and provide the assistance for the patients they will be ok and Management was very considerate and fair.
The hardest part of my job was hearing the patients stories about their illnesses. The most enjoyable – more... part was being able to provide them with a nurse and an aide to assist them with the daily activities. – less

Great place to work if you have a degree in your desired field. The office staff do not get treated fairly in the Brooklyn CHOICE department. Managers are not keen on advancement within the company.

I have been working with this company for 5 years in the same position due to office favoritism. If your comfortable with boasting the department managers – more... moral you'll succeed if not you will be stuck in the same position.

Employees are friendly to one another. But at times being a MSR is very demanding and you might question is all of your work really worth it. You must be able to multi task which will include answering calls non stop and handling your daily clerical task for your assigned team. As well as assisting clinicians and managers whenever they ask for help.

The most enjoyable part is the benefits and vacation time you acquire after just 6 months! Use it! – less

A typical day at work included recording and monitoring vital signs, adm medications, g-tube feedings/care, wound care, diabetic nail care, and personal care for the client. I learned about many different types of disease processes. Management of the company was great, however it was very hard to balance work with family emergencies, and they did not – more... have light duty positions. Hardest part of the job was driving distance, and the most enjoyable part of the job was the clients. – less

A typical day would be to assist client with personal needs as well as light house work(washing dishes, folding laundry, ect.). I learned patience while doing certain things other people way versus the way I was used to doing things. Management was good because reguardless the problem I only delt with one person. With this type of job you worked by – more... yourself. The hardest part was the constant driving back and fourth. The most enjoyable was knowing that I helped someone in need. – less

In the office setting, a lot of life lessons where unfolded which helped me grow professionally. The Visiting Nurse Service of New York is a very welcoming place.

VNSNY is a wonderful place to work. A lot of autonomy. A great role and care management job. Great environment.

assessment and development of care for the client based on their insurance

The most enjoyable part of my job is the daily interaction with my user community and IT development team to ensure a successful project.

Each morning I would:
1. Set schedules for Nurses, Physical & Occupational Therapist, CNA's and Home Health Aides
2. Listen to all messages left after office had closed which were requests for admission to program, schedule changes, end of life notifications, medication changes, etc. and took appropriate follow up action
3. Complete all filing and create – more... new folders for incoming patients
4. Provided clerical support as requested (photo copying, faxing, filing, receptionist,call directory operator relief) – less

The VNS respected all members opinions, good benefits and salary.
A typical day would be scheduled by ACT supervisor, assigning each team (2 members) to make home visits to the SPMI, providing availability of all disciplines on a rotating basis. I poured meds, once a week, for self-administration, IM's, med/health education, psycho-social groups, using – more... psych rehab skills. This was my most satisfying position, professionally. We had fun with our clients, while teaching social skills, independent living skills and much more. I received 2 ABCD awards (Above and Beyond the Call of Duty) for Excellence in Patient Focused Care and Excellence inthe Field of Nursing. This company recognizes and rewards hard work. Probably one of the best NY companies to be affiliated. If the commute wasn't pushing 4 hrs. to return home, I never would have left. – less
