Pros

Salary was OK. Health Insurance and PTO were part of the package. It is a franchise system so each location is owned by an independent licensee. Home health is a growing industry with the aging of the population so job should be secure into the future.

Cons

There is never enough time in the day to complete every task. The industry is highly regulated and subject to audits. Expect 70+ hours per week. Changes in health care will squeeze margins and increase risk. Life balance is the reason I left.

Pros

Clinical leadership provided excellent mentorship and was highly accessible for questions. Management did a great job of keeping commute times in mind when scheduling visits. Territories were well-defined and organized, which made daily planning much easier,

Cons

As with any home health role, there were occasional logistical issues or days when one wanted to dive under the covers, but the leadership team was supportive.
