Hello - I just started a working for a caregiving company that provides non medical caregivers - most clients are medicaid.

They are required to have an RN complete the initial assessment and create a Care Plan for the non medical caregivers to follow.  Im the only RN there and despite reading the requirements of the state - Im feeling a little uneasy.

I've also been asked to complete health assessments on new employees - the only specific requirement is that it includes a TB screening.  I have so many questions!  

Any RN's out there working in this field?

Yes in PA for 4 years under Medicaids Home and Community-Based Services program.  Familiar with a few states regs; in which state is home care agency licensed?   What are specific questions you have?
