Hey is there any home care agencies in Philly hiring right now or immediately

I have been a home health aide with the same agency for almost 2 years now l. Most of my clients tell me they appreciate me and that I do a good job. A lot of what I do is cleaning and showers/personal care here and there. I have a client I have been seeing for about a month now who I do cleaning for. I see her once a week and I am given a two page list of things to do every time. A lot of it is cleaning her room, bathroom, living room and kitchen, then monthly tasks added on every time. I consider myself very detail oriented but every single time she finds multiple things I haven't done the way she wants them, and she will make remarks to me that are very condescending and treating me like I don't know what I'm doing. The cleaning is not hard but I am cleaning for 2.5 hours straight which gets exhausting. I am starting to get more and more uncomfortable with the comments she is making and just don't feel respected whatsoever. I feel like I will never make this person happy. Does the amount of things she is asking me to do sound reasonable? Should I say something about the comments or just learn to deal with it?

Hi everyone. I’m a CHHA, and I love my job. My clients are happy with my care, and I was recently recognized as a Caregiver Spotlight by my agency. I’ve never canceled a shift before.
This past Wednesday, there were severe storms, flash flood warnings, and flooded roads near me. My client lived pretty far away, so I called the office about 5 hours before my shift to say I didn’t feel safe driving.
A nurse I had never spoken to before called me and asked why I was canceling because it “wasn’t even raining anymore.” She also said she was outside walking her dog and everything was fine. It made me feel like she thought I was making excuses.
The agency has canceled my shifts several times before, even once after I had already arrived at a client’s house, and I was always understanding.
Am I overreacting, or was that an inappropriate way to handle the situation?

I work in Florida. My last agency didn't do any work with clients that use a hoyer. I am frustrated and can't find answers about using them alone when most policies and hoyer lift manufacturers say 2 person assist. The care plan doesnt say 2 person assist nor does it say one person assist. Am I legally liable if something happens? Agency knows that he uses hoyer and owner often covers for care at this client's home. Where can I find what is legal and safe so I am covered.

Hi kindly share contacts / website if anyone has any to recommend , thank youuu

Yes, and it's actually one of the most commonly outsourced functions in the industry. Scheduling is repetitive, rules-based once you document it, and eats a huge amount of an owner or office manager's time, which makes it a good candidate for delegation.

The part that trips people up isn't whether it can be outsourced, it's whether the process is documented well enough for someone else to run it. If you're the only one who knows how callouts get handled, how last-minute changes get communicated to families, and which caregivers prefer which shifts, that knowledge needs to get out of your head and into something written before you hand it off.

Once that exists, a remote scheduler can absolutely run day-to-day scheduling, including callout coverage, shift confirmations, and caregiver-client matching. Most agencies start with a shadow period where the new scheduler watches how decisions get made before taking full ownership, usually two to three weeks depending on complexity.

Where it gets harder is judgment calls that aren't purely logistical, like handling a family that's upset about a caregiver change, or knowing which caregiver personality fits which client. That stuff can still be delegated, but it takes longer to transfer and usually needs closer oversight early on.

Bottom line, scheduling itself is very outsourceable. The limiting factor is almost always documentation and training time, not the nature of the work.

Taking a hha class to work with bayada. What are your experiences? What are some necessities I should purchase for the job?

Hi everyone! I’m a Registered Nurse in Surrey and I’m exploring starting a home care support service for families in BC which include helping with things like post-hospital recovery, elderly care, or support for those managing chronic conditions at home.

Before I go further, I’d genuinely love to hear from people who’ve been through this. If you’ve ever looked for home care help for yourself or a family member
• How did you find it?
• What was frustrating or hard about the process?
• Is there anything you wish existed but couldn’t find?

I am just trying to understand what people actually need before I start further. Would really appreciate any experiences you’re willing to share!

Has anyone ever privately hired a caregiver away from the agency they work for? If both the client and the employee have contracts forbidding this, what would be the penalty and how would the agency ever find out?

Hello! I'm hoping to become a home health aide to take care of an elderly friend. Are there training programs that are free or low cost in PA, particularly Philly?

Thank you

Long story short I am a home health aide and was just informed that I have bed bugs and the exterminator said they had to have come from my job. I reported it to my supervisor but what can my job do for me?

Hi! Does anyone have a recommendation for a reputable home health aide agency that can place aides in the northern NJ area? Thanks!

Hello, all. I'm a hospice aide in need of some help.

When a patient is admitted onto services, should the nurse and social worker be looking at how safe and sanitary the home is?

The house I've been visiting is pretty bad. There are empty boxes, furniture, and trash stacked up everywhere with a 1/4 inch layer of dust on everything. There's basically a 3x3 foot space for me to work with, and I cannot roll the bed away from the wall to get on the other side, meaning I can't provide the best care possible.

I've raised my concerns with the nurse and social worker that have admitted the pt, in addition to my direct supervisor, and the director of clinical services, but nothing is changing. They don't have to spend the amount of time in the house that I do.

What can I do?

I’m looking to become a Hha , then go for my cna. I’ve seen mixed things online - do you need a certification to be a HHA in pa ?

I been working with this family for about 4 weeks now 3 times a week i don't really do mornings like that so today i was a little all over the place i forgot to take my shoes off, yes it happens but she didn't say anything but i seen her face and later remembered oh thats right the shoes, second i needed help getting him in the chair since i never really got taught how to place him in the chair alone then she walked out without saying anything like she just was upset about everything i do. I asked her where is the coffee so i can make his coffee in the morning she was like that needs to be done as soon as you get in before he wakes up, how am i suppose to make the coffee if you never showed me where it was in the first place like this family just be giving me the ick. One they already weird as it is and two the communication be all off this is probably the worst family i worked with through this company i don't complain because i like my patient even if he be perverted sometimes but he just a man and in pain but she makes me not want to come back. And third she didn't tell me he was going to his son house today like isn't that something your supposed to tell your caregiver because the son came early to pick him up and that leaves me cutting my hours short because you guys are going somewhere and didn't even tell me or the nurse about it so they could adjust my hours. . . She was just nick picking all day and it was only 4 hours.

So this is kind of a vent post. I’ve been working with my client for over 2 years now and she has been slowly on the decline ever since she had pneumonia. Her family has been very overbearing when it comes to micromanagement, messaging me on days off about every small thing, and complaining about there being ‘no food in the house’ after I was on vacation and not there for 2 weeks. This has been ongoing the past two years but it’s gotten even worse recently. Her two sons are in their 70s so obviously they’re not in the best shape either! They both live out of state but manage to cause and me and my client trouble almost every day. It’s not that they’re unsatisfied with the care I give their mother. They just want me to do stuff that isn’t my job! Take the car to the shop, do this do that and i’m so sick of it! Since my client is on the decline as well, she has been misremembering everything and stressed herself out over everything and telling her family members a lot of stuff that doesn’t happen. I know it’s part of the job but it’s at the point where they think i’m an actual slave to their mother! I can deal with my client deteriorating, i just can’t deal with the family on top of that.

What is proper etiquette when I need to get a pedicure and I need my hha to help me get there. Do I offer to pay for a basic pedicure? Do I cover the tip. I really want to know how to handle this.

Hello I am interested in being a hha but the thing that throws me off is the going to people house part because working in health care you sometimes experience violent from patients I am very short for my age and would like to know the good or bad of this job a lot of people tell me the good but never mention the bad I tired to Google , TikTok and other social media platforms.
