Let's Vent about Home Health

Lisa, what's is up with that! they do that to me, too. They always ask me if I have an extra syringe - I'm like , yes, I have some, but they're for my Hypertonic Saline and I'm not giving it to you. Very unprofessional. <br><br>
The thing is, for me, is that not knowing when they are coming really puts a damper on my evening. I work all day, I want to go home and relax. Plus, I have treatments to do, as all of you do.. I can't hear a knock on the door while I'm breathing my meds and coughing. Also, I can't start my dishwasher or washing machine because I won't be able to hear them. So it's like, give me a window to work with PLEASE.

My home health is awesome! Although some nurses are better than others. This last time i saw the same nurse for about 3 weeks. She was great.

I'm with ya Jennifer - home health sucks. You hit the nail on the head when you said they think "sick" people have nothing better to do. Although, I'm glad to hear that some others have not had such bad experiences. I requested that my lab draws and dressing changes be done at the place where I get my port flushed, so thankfully I don't have to deal with home health anymore. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">

I think I'd get the names of some other Home healthcare people too- mine are pretty good, and my nurse tells me about when she will be coming (basically, where I am on her list), and then calls me when she is on her way, or to let me know if she is running late...and I have had the same nurse for several years (sometimes I see her in our local Walmart, too lol <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> ). Good luck!
