Is it a good nurse staffing agency if the owner says the reason for nurses not staying on the case is because of the family or the environment of the patient is not good? Environment: full set up, like a hospital for the patient (initial RN who did the first visit was impressed, saying she has never seen this set up before in a home), with all supplies, equipments, a caregiver to train and help with repositioning, even when a nurse says she can reposition by herself but weeks later says she can't? Over a year of promises from the owner that staffing will be filled for the schedule but never even reached 50% coverage for the week. All we got were nurses who were frequently absent, came in late for their shift or didn't show up when there supposed too. Hell, some didn't even bother to let the agency know they're calling out. The owner said in the initial meeting last year that we will have 4 days covered with nurses in 2 weeks once the patient is home, 2 weeks go by nothing, 2 months later one nurse for 2 days coverage and lies about being able to reposition patient, 5 months later a nurse who started, came in late almost daily, then called out multiple times without letting the family know or the agency know. Total nurses provided in almost a year and I mean total, 2. I personally found 2 nurses myself out of desperation and had them sign up with HLHP. Owner even said sarcastically that they should hire me as a recruiter. Oh hey owner, the nurse that you sent who feel alseep on the job her first night doesnt count! Can you believe the owner even praised that nurse and said to me I dont know why you didnt make it work with he. I remind you the nurse fell asleep during the shift!! Some nurses even took it upon themselves to administer treatment without doctors orders. After all this the owner says it's not a problem when nurses provide treatment outside of doctors orders to the patient and would've been better off. This nurse was the one that was even on the phone with her husband's doctor while she was supposed to be caring for the patient while she held her during wound care. The owner's response to this incident? Nurses deserve breaks and that nurse is the best she's ever seen! This is after she told me to send her a document with the incident so she can let her go but apparently she didnt and actually placed her on another case. Due to the nursing shortage they will take any nurse, sign them up to bill and make money. The nurses staffed I remind you only 2 constantly complained to me about not getting calls back from the administer or owner when they called, not sending MARs (patient log sheets) or even the RNs following up with the patient as they are supposed to do every month. One of the nurses was really troubled that they didnt provide her with a Plan of Care and was planning on leaving the agency..she did. In short, I have to accept sub par nurses who come in late, don't notify the family when calling out, miss a month of work when they just started 3 months ago and administer treatment to patients without doctors orders? Yeah, good luck with that owner. The owner kept on talking over me with her drone voice and said her nurses she assigns stay with patients for years......if that's even the truth, sure ok. I guess those families don't really care how their loved one is being taken care of, are ok with nurses constantly coming in late, not showing up when they are supposed to, lie about their capabilities and administer treatment without doctors orders ud83dudc4d. I personally learned everything I needed to take care of my loved one from the staff at the hopsital and sub-acute where they were at before bringing them home, so I was be prepared. Most families can't take care of their loved ones at home themselves or have no resources to learn how. Do your due diligence, interview multiple agencies and seek references when signing up for a home care agency. Hey owner...Good luck!

I started working for Homeliving Health Providers, Inc 2 years ago as a staff nurse, and my experience has been nothing but exceptional. From the moment I was hired, I never felt that I couldnu2019t rely on any member of the staff whether it was my RN supervisor, HR or accounting personnel. They were available to myself and my patients family at all hours through phone or email. I would most definitely recommend starting your nursing career with them and trusting them in the care of your loved ones.

I work with Homeliving since 2013 , and my experience with this company so far is great and I go to work every day with desire , knowing that I can address my patient u2018s needs accordingly and in a timely manner. Working with Homeliving feels like taking care of family that cares about you, and it is rare in the nursing field to find a place like that. If you are looking for a company that truly rewards hard work and efforts this is the place to start and stay .
