LTC vs Home healthRating: (votes: 0) Why do you think it would be less stress? What type of home health do you currently do? Comment:
I have worked in both settings. In no way would I say that being responsible for 80 patients is less stressful than being responsible for one.
Comment:
I have 22 Pts I see 6-8 Pts 5-7 days a week. I know there is no perfect job and I am sure there is stress at the LTC but I would have a life. No hours of homework no calls late at night. And not driving 80miles a day.
Comment:
So you have to see them each 4 times a week, is that right (sorry, I'm taking Topomax)? What kind of home health is that? Not case management, I take it?
Comment:
No I see Pts usually 2-3 times a week. I sometimes have daily wound care Pts to. I also do case management for my Pts. Right now my census is down to 20 so I see 6-7 a day. The LTC I am looking at is mostly independent residents and mostly med management and paperwork.
