The job was satisfying with most patients. Would call night before but then patients would not be home. A lot of driving with low mileage reimbursements. Manager is very skeptical of you and trust is a big problem with her. This kind of manager you can lose your license very easily. I had patient lie and say I didn't call them when they were driving and leaving the home. I was made out I was the reason patients were leaving when they were no longer home bound.

😢awful. Social worker guy called police that I was going to harm my mother if she came home. False lie and protective services proved. She also admitted it was his number. He blocked it but their system opens it up. Slander and defimation of character is an expensive thing to do.

Yes. Guardian Home Health is a Medicare-certified home health agency, so Medicare Part A or Part B pays in full for skilled nursing, therapy and home health aide visits when a doctor orders them and the patient is homebound. There is no copay for covered home health visits. Medicare rates the agency's quality of patient care 3.5 out of 5 stars.
For Medicare to pay, yes: a doctor, nurse practitioner or physician assistant must certify that care is needed and sign a plan of care. Families can call the agency first, and the agency will usually contact the doctor to arrange the order. Ongoing help with bathing, meals and companionship is a different service, non-medical home care, which needs no referral.
