Glad it was helpful!

You've been added to the group! Just follow the steps to get going.

Perhaps I'll collab with a nurse to put some resources together.

Awesome! Thank you! You're in the group now.

I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. You can speak with your primary care physician about getting a referral for home health.

Sorry not at this time.

Nothing right now unfortunately.

I'm sorry, but I'm not too familiar with the charting requirements for bedside nursing.

Hey! Sorry no plans for Black Friday. I don't do sales virtually ever. That way you're always getting the best price.

Hi, thanks for subscribing! The future of PT certainly looks much different than the past. I can't say I have a lot of faith in the value of a PT degree in 5 to 10 years which has to do with the things you mentioned in addition to many upcoming tech products that are competing against traditional PT. Anyone entering school now should 100% expect to be versatile and think outside the box for income in order to have a decent living. I believe home health will be around and you'll be able to make 6 figures, but I don't see pay rising much. I'll admit though, you can never really predict what law makers will do. With massive inflation, many staff PTs have taken pay cuts or pay has been stagnant. You should expect that you'll need to generate other revenue streams to compliment your PT income. If you're able to think differently and find solutions to problems, you'll do alright. Best of luck with school!

@@TrevorMinerPTDPT Thanks for the quick and detailed reply! Could you tell me about the upcoming tech products you are worried about? I thought home health pt would be safe against that but I must be misinformed. Also, I am attending a program that will cost about 25-28k in total. Would you still pursue a DPT in my shoes?

@@Km-xi2gh Healthcare is the next frontier for technology. For good or bad. If you can adapt and be flexible you'll be fine. There are many tech companies looking at home health and developing products. It's certainly not all bad. That's a good cost for school. Including living expenses, I definitely wouldn't go over the 80-100K mark total.

There's really a lot to consider. Territory, mileage, salary/PPV, productivity, etc. Nothing should ever be worth less than 1. A SOC should typically be 2.5-3 points. A ROC similar or a bit less. Evals and everything else should be around 1.5. It really depends on all the other factors though. Thanks for watching and commenting. If you are salaried, you can use this calculator I made to help better understand what you're actually being paid. homehealthcourse.com/home-health-pay-calculator-make-sense-of-the-point-madness/

That is what /DocKeys does. You can create them for the iPad.

I’m a new grad and I’ve gotten 6 interviews and 5 job offers. I’ve accepted one and it’s very possible for new grads without experience to land a job

Most every agency "prefers" 1 year of experience, but it is most definitely NOT required at most. Overwhelmingly I would recommend that you negotiate all factors relating to pay (base pay, pay for going above productivity, meeting pay, mileage/going outside of your area, weekend pay, etc) all before starting. It is much harder to address issues in these areas AFTER you start working. If you want to be at the top of the game, I recommend taking my course which is designed especially for therapists new to the setting. learn.homehealthcourse.com/the-home-health-evaluation-course

I’ve been a home care therapist (OT) for over 14 years. It’s best to have experience first because you may not have someone present to assist you if you end up in a person’s home. I’m thankful mine are in Assisted Living buildings , but have had a large portion at one time in the houses( especially during the pandemic when most buildings were closed to outside people/vendors) you need to be comfortable with assessing people and knowing when to send someone to the hospital, be prepared to engage in CPR on your own and also deal with interesting situations with family members , girlfriends and multiple people living in a house or other environments. In some homes you also see those without food and spend time dealing with that before your regular job duties. If you have a social worker assist that can take a burden off of you. I’d say a year in The hospital setting and maybe one that offers acute, SUBACUTE and homecare so you get a sample of each. I had this experience and it was amazing. Although back in 1997. Things have changed drastically since. I also worked in all settings except school system , to draw knowledge from.
