Monitoring questions

Hi everyone, I have posted to this site in the past but had a question about stips. I'm currently in a monitoring program & may have a contract similar to many of you out there....so here is my dumb question: Why are we not allowed to work in

home health? Is it because we may have tje potential to be around controlled substances? I admit, I have not worked in home health before, so maybe I am missing something. Also, would a case manager in home health be a safe option? I know I can ask my case worker (and I probably will) but I wanted to get others thoughts beforehand. I am sorry if my question was a really dumb one....:)

    Usually it is because you have no direct supervision when providing care in someone's home.

    Did you &have experience with MDS? Unfortunately I don't, but I have thought about getting a certification for it so I may have that option down the road. Also, I only have my Associates degree, so I may struggle with getting office positions. Thank you for your input though:)

    I am in TPAPN (Texas monitoring program for Substance abuse) and I was given the OK to work in home health. I don't know if it makes a difference but I was not diverting drugs, was abusing alcohol on my time off. I suggest you speak with your case manager. I was required to have at least 1 face-to-face interaction with an appointed person daily and there were a few other requirements but was not onerous.
