Where I live you have skilled visits or block time visits.....skilled visits are usually one amount like $30.00 for a new case, or $26.00 for an established case. For block time...it's by the hour and it is usually 4 hours to 16 hours depending on your preference, hours available etc. Also it depends if you work days, evenings, or overnights that determines your hourly rate as well.....
I live in Central Florida. I did home health care for 6 years. I worked 12-hour shifts, mostly medicaid pediatric cases. The pay is 16-18 per hour. They do not reimburse for gas, no shift or weekend differential, no vacation or sick time. I used to work 60 to 72 hours per week to get the overtime. I liked working in home care but the pay has not improved in 15 years--no cost of living raises since it is medicaid. When my primary case moved 45 miles away, I just could not continue to pay for gas and spend an extra 2 hours on the road each day. I went back to LTC near my house.

I was reading a thread on here and it said some people who were LPN's were making 17 --21 dollars PER VISIT.
Was just wondering if this was the norm?
Again, the thread said this was for an LPN visit, not RN.
Thanks!
