Average patient load

Good Evening,

I am currently an LPN working in a Home Health Hospice position. My question is this....on average how many patients do you see in a given day, with the hours of say 8:30-5:00? I am currently working for a company and originally we were told 4-5 patients per day, and now they want 6-7 pts. per day, not including going back to the office to do chart updates, etc. And sometimes there is a good 15+ miles between patients. Just looking for input!
