New Home Health Agency/Personal Care Agency looking for help


Hello everyone!

My organization is currently in the process of starting a new division with in Personal care (non-medical) and working towards becoming a liscenced HHA.

I am just going to ask a simple question and ask for opinions.

What is the best way to run an organization? What makes the job easier? Harder? What are things that are essential? Not essential? What type of policies are needed and not needed?

These are just a few questions I have but I would love to speak about all aspects of the bussiness.

Please lend me your knowledge!

Thanks,

YCN

One of the biggest suggestions I can offer is that you be true to your word when giving info to your new employees. For example: If you tell Susie Q that you are going to pay all of your attendants $2 per hour, then do that. Don't let Susie Q find out that you are paying Patty R $5 per hour. It should not be difficult to refrain from giving out conflicting or incorrect info. Good luck with your new venture.

Thanks! What type of documentation should I have my caregivers fill out? I have a timecard/check sheet for them to fill out for each pt/client.
