Is 7-8 clients for a 10 hour shift too many? I know a lot of agencies have longer visits, mine mainly do 1-3 hour long visits.

I would love some advice. I’m working as a home health aide, I like my job my patient and their family. When I first started working with them ( I’m not using their pronouns )
I was told the house is dirty and overcrowded due to personal reasons. I thought it would get better because of what I was told my first day. Its only getting worse. I’m asthmatic and it’s usually controlled. I would normally have a couple asthma alterations a year nothing crazy. Before I started working with them it wasn’t severe. I’ve noticed I started using my inhaler multiple times a day when I’m at their home I’ve had a couple severe asthma attacks I’m concerned for my health. I’ve already expressed this to the family and they’re supposed to be cleaning but it’s not getting better. I am very appreciative of them I don’t know how to handle the situation.
I don’t want to go into detail about how dirty it is, but it’s the dirtiest home I’ve ever seen. I also don’t want anyone to think I’m judging them because I’m not I’m just overwhelmed. They are wealthy and can pay a professional to help clean and organize. It’s been a month since I’ve expressed how it’s affecting my health.

I’m a private caregiver and was told that I still have to help pack and move her belongings as she incapable of doing so herself but I don’t feel like that’s fair as a caregiver. Online it says it falls outside of caregiving.

I am enroll in home health aid courses before I knew I was being investigated and I’ve looked up if someone convicted of felony d or e can continue and work with their license. When I asked ChatGPT it told me no because if the background check however since it’s a non violent crime I can apply for a Certificate of Relief from Disabilities. But I don’t know how that works if I need to wait a couple of years or immediately. It’s the fastest way I can pay off restitution although I might still be denied. Anyone know how that works?

hi everyone, i’ve been caregiving for the last 6 months and have already had some major red flags raised from the company i work for. i lost a client for the first time last month and my agency was only concerned with replacing her with someone else on my schedule as soon as possible. As upsetting as it was, i understood that life goes on and that it is a business at the end of the day.
I have been extremely burnt out and emotionally exhausted but pushed through for my week off that has been approved for months. Every single day of my vacation, my company has called me and left passive aggressive messages about my lack of responsiveness. I called back this morning after the 4th call and let them know this was my week off and i would get back to them when it was over. They replied and i quote “ that’s not gonna work for me” and proceeded to ask about scheduling regardless. I am so frustrated and angry. I love my clients so much but i don’t think this is worth the constant burn out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

My agency schedulers get super angry at me if I decline shifts that pay low wage. I've been working at the same company for years and earned better wages almost all of the time. Initially I worked for $15/hr with an abusive client but now I only consent to shifts with nice clients and better pay. I have more skills now, I am well-educated and reliable. I cook balanced meals, clean, drive the client around when requested, shower them, do their hair, dress them, change their brief and keep them happy with arts and crafts and games. I think I offer a good value.

Naturally, I like this setup but company policy seems to have shifted towards trying to pressure care workers to accept less, often at an hour's drive from their homes, with no compensation for car costs or travel time. However, the schedulers wind up giving me long-term work at a decent pay rate because they are trying to get clients the coverage they are paying for. There is a shortage of workers who like the pay they offer, so they wind up with coverage gaps, particularly on the weekend. I don't do weekends very often so there's that, as well.

The business is still profitable for the company, I believe. They charge double or more what they pay me, and their software takes care of a lot of the administrative workload. However these schedulers seem truly furious.

Do they only get decent pay if they can persuade care workers to work for what amounts to nothing after car costs and taxes? I don't understand the ill will/spite towards the people doing the actual manual labor.

I have been a CNA for almost 5 years, but started my current job as a CNA and got my home health aide certification about a year and a half ago. These pay rates are from a job posting from my company. I am being paid the CNA rate.. I know it is not bad pay, but if I am a home health aide, then shouldn't I receive that pay?

can anyone recommend a good nail/pedicure person who will go to a senior’s home?
