Home health care career?

Hi, I have a health care worker that comes ten hours a week. Most in my apartment complex have helpers. Most of our helpers are great. We know that it is hard for workers to understand our needs and we work together with our helpers to make our relationships good. Our aids become like family. The pay in Michigan is $9.00 per hr. Wages depend on agency. Make sure the agency is good to their workers. My agency is harsh on workers and they are supposed to be the best. The workers are not treated fairly. Of course, if you start your clients will help you to know what agencies work well with you and your client. Call Social Services, employment agency, hospitals, schools, and even apartment complexes for disabled. Even apartment complexes for retiree's and elderly will give you information. The pay is not much but if you are considerate and love people, you will do this job. You will not find more loving and understanding individuals as in disabled complexes. Not V A, but complexes that have disabled.

I am in the same position right now as you.  I have been a stay at home mom for 7 years now and have put my education on the back burner.  Now that 2 of my children are going to be in school full time it's time to go back and further my education.  I don't want to spend a lot of time going back to school, so instead of going to a regular college I am going to go to a trade school where I will just be learning the Trade and by pass all of the other stuff.  There are a lot of options for getting a degree in less than two years.  Medical assisting, dental assisting, massage therapy, billing insurance and coding, pharmacy technician, x-ray technician, paralegal, court reporting, legal assistant etc.  I hope everything works out for you.  It's tough when your out of school for so long and then go back. You'd be surprised at how much of the basics you forget and have to learn all over again.  It's worth it though to better yourself.  Best of luck!

Look for private duty companies in your area.  They specialize in non-skilled nursing care.  The title is ususally homemaker or similar. Some job duties may include bathing, companionship, escorting to places, shoopping, cooking, etc.

Depending on your state regulations it may be that she is eligible for Home Health care.  If it is getting too tough for you to try and do it all, maybe they could at least help.  I believe they will offer at least four hours a day, maybe more.  I lost both my parents at a young age but I remember how tough it was to take care of my mom because she was sick for two years before she passed.  Its easy to say you should take care of her yourself, but until a person has to actually deal with the issue its hard to understand how draining it can be, both physically and emotionally.  Good luck.

I would strongly suggest you not work from the home-business model until you have experience first, as the experience and ability to interact and learn will benefit you tremendously.\n\nMany of the home-based business models of medical billing can be costly or not provide you with much income.  You may have to bid on jobs, and not may providers will accept your bid without experience.  It may be up to you to market and sell your business.\n\nYour work will consist of getting materials, reading the materials, and then filling that data into UB-92's or HCFA 1500's.  You will be evaluated on your accuracy.  With some companies, you will not be compensated unless you have 100% accuracy.\n\nThere will be a lot of variables to the home-based business model.  Try working in an office to make sure you'd like it before you try doing it out of the home.\n\nGood Luck!

I am the HR director at a Home Health Agency, and know that companies like ours are always looking for dependable help.  You can often get an entry-level position with limited or no training (as a CNA - certified nurses's assitant or equivalent).  Once you're in, you'll start to build experience and can decide where you want to go from there.  \n\nHowever, your goal should probably be a nursing home or residential living facility as Home Care is not exactly stable (people end up hospitalized, etc.).  \n\nAlso, have you considered working with people with disabilities?  There are agencies all over looking for good employees (check out the ARC - Association for Retarded Citizens http://www.thearc.org/).  \n\nBest of luck!

Your local health department or hospital should be able to connect you with the local Visiting Nurses Association.  In addition to services they provide, the VNA often has a list of private duty nurses and home health assistants that you can hire privately to come to the home and clean, make meals, or even stay the night with your mom.\n\nGood luck to you.

You should consider a Masters in Health Information Mgt. from the College of St. Scholastica (Minnesota), its a online degree and while the college itself is not Harvard.... their HIM program is the absolute best in the field..in the nation. Very respectable program. The University of Pittsburgh also has a Masters HIM program but it is on-campus. These are the only two accredited programs in the world! They also have certificate programs but in order to become a registered HIM professional you have to go to an accredited program and complete it in full. Visit www.ahima.com they have a link to education there. For more info on HIM visit www.himss.com .\nGood luck
