        Did you try calling a local home health agency rather than an anonymous message board? These are pretty detailed questions. You will learn so much more from an in person or phone interview than you can copying & pasting typed responses.


I had a few contacts that I interviewed already, I was hoping to compare some answers and any other perspectives are always good. Thanks!
