From Medical Assistant To Home Health Aide

CNAs are an important part of any health care system. A CNA makes sure that doctors and nurses can do their jobs and that patients are well taken care of. There are always CNA positions open and the CNA job description varies from position to position. A CNA can work in places like hospitals, nursing homes, and doctors offices.

Experience certainly helps. When a friend of mine started to work her home health aide salary was really low, however the contract she had with her employer guaranteed a raise each year due to her increased experience. When she finally left her job to search for another one her salary had gone up by $2 hourly because she already had several years of experience in multiple work settings.

Long term care policies are sold by independent insurance companies, usually in conjunction with a life insurance policy. There are no standardized versions of a long term care policy. Benefits differ from company to company. Some offer to pay a fixed dollar amount for each day you receive care. Others only pay a percentage of the cost, or a pre-specified dollar amount to cover the cost of services. There also may be waiting periods before the insurance policy is placed into effect. It pays to shop around and compare. Not all long term care insurance policies and companies are the same.

If people under the program become disabled, it will pay about $50 a day for nursing care. Note that these people do not have to be over 65 years old.

A nursing home is slightly different. A CNA will still have to take vitals like blood pressure and temperature but there is a lot more hands on day to day care. They get patients up in the morning and give them personal care as well as toileting and such. They report directly to the nurse if there are any problems. They will also deliver bedpans and clean patients when they need it.

If I could write my own ticket, five years from now I would have a large home in a beautiful setting where I could house the elderly, like a bed and breakfast inn. The clients could have a common room to visit with each other or watch TV; perhaps games like dominoes or card games could be enjoyed as well. Their bedrooms would be just like their own room they used to have in their own home before they could no longer live there for safety reasons.
