I've been offered a job by an independent home health company and need help making a decision. It's a salary position with benefits working M-F 8-5 told I would usually be done by 3 and have 80% charting done. The number of visits each day varies depending on the type of visit. Admits are the most "paperwork" intensive so they take longer ( usually about 2 hours for visit and documentation). Re-cents or Post hospital visits typically take about 1 1/2 hours for visit and paperwork. Regular supervisory visits and discharges take about 30-45 minutes total. We try to keep your visit acuity to about 5 or 6 per day (admits =2; Recert/post hospital = 1 1/2; Supervisory/DC=1). That allows time for trace, the visits and completing paperwork. Will take call every 3 weeks. Was told not to miss out on any of my child's school parties etc due to work. Will have a company car, fuel card, sign on bonus. I live in a rural area without traffic and all my patients would live near my home area. I currently work at a hospital an hour away 12 hr shifts 3 days a week plus driving to hospital an extra day a week for meetings etc. I currently miss out on my child's after school and weekend activities. Does this job offer sound too good to be true?
