Home Healthcare Industry In Need Of More Workers
It is very stressful, very demanding, and underappreciated.
It's cute to change a baby diaper, not so much cleaning up after adult accidents.
Bless these workers, with appreciation and better pay!
They couldn't staff those positions before the pandemic. Quit paying people garbage wages, I worked for Addus a huge company, they recieved at time $65 an hour from Medicare and a recieved $10, with a
$.05 a year increase. My mental health and car were destroyed. When my clients died I wasn't even allowed to attend their funerals if the families had one. And don't even get me started on the families.
Bless you for all you have done. You deserve more pay and respect.
@@janenef thank you but I don't do it anymore. I'm 60 now and widowed, with long covid. My health has been destroyed. I would like the people still doing it and the young ones to get paid enough to survive. ❤✌
What about the families? I want to do home care but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Is it too hard?
@@Mayrita77everything is too hard if you got that mindset.
How's the ratio treating you guys over here? Just checking.
Great people .Vital Professional for the most Vulnerable in Society .
Pay a good wage hire the right staff. Simple solution.
If they paid a decent salary there wouldn't be a crisis. One lady told me it was $8 a hour
That's all that needs to be said and yet,.. Bob needs a new boat!
Another headline that explains this is: " health care workers need more pay"
Crap wages and they don't pay holiday or sick pay. When the pandemic hit many were out of work and it was too bad, so many moved on and found new jobs. Now these Home Health agencies are desperate. Cry me a river. Start paying people decent wages.
Why is it so hard?.. because we refuse to pay !!!
Stop playing around and pay these people a decent wage!!!! WTF!!!
On top of that there’s no pension plans, 401k, the hours and pay are very unstable
I've seen how the vast shortage of aides affects agencies' high turnover; hence, the client receives subpar care. Because of high turnover, some clients may not have a permanent aide. A sudden change in schedule leads to a stranger entering the home without any introduction. Another challenge that probably poses the most danger to the client and the aide-is the overworking of aides who must work 12-to 24-hour shifts without breaks or rest. There isn't a law in many states that prohibits this practice. Hence, we have a potential for various types of accidents.
Medicare does not pay for home health aides if a potential client initiates service after losing self-care abilities. This is not the case if a patient comes from the hospital and needs additional care beyond a hospital stay. For all others, I highly recommend those who can purchase long-term care (LTC) insurance to offset out-of-pocket costs. Most people cannot afford to pay privately for home health care.
I'm leaving because the pay is simply too low, the clients can be abusive, and it's too stressful. I just got hired at a factory for $23 an hour. So many jobs have raised there pay, even McDonald's pay more than homecare. As a homecare worker I was employee of the month 3 times and they refused to give me a raise. I'm done
Lol.... my friends care giver shows up late sometimes not at all, doesn't get what's on the grocery list, buys what she wants to eat...basically steals food!
Care givers need to be certified and vetted.
Sad
@@Enigmarose-e6f real sad.... she doesn't even have to do any physical personal care
They are, you need to work with a reputable contractor and get better insurance. You get what you pay for in this world. If you pay the person who cares for your mother less than you pay the person who makes your cheeseburger. You should probably just take care of her yourself.
I have hired good ones and not so good, depending on availability. The really good ones are jewels. And deserve so much more.
“Needs more workers” accept our government wants to just throw money at the issue without a serious plan.
Been there done that and never again, worst paying jobs out there, and people die after you get attracted
Pass build back better
In my country our free universal healthcare includes homecare. Never expect that from a banana republic like USA.
Well maybe you shouldn't have fired the same people who saved lives during the pandemic because they didn't want to follow your political narrative. I feel bad for those states.
Let's Go Brandon!
U won’t find heartwarming stories like this on Newsmax.
You need higher salaries and more immigrants from mid-America and the Caribbean. LOL LOL
Bert do you need a home health aide?
