In short
- Sample Agency, LLC works under an AHCA license or registration (Home Health Agency, non-skilled services (NSHHA), number 000000). We only provide the services and serve the counties listed on it.
- We never provide skilled care such as nursing, wound care, injections or giving medication.
- If we hold only a homemaker and companion registration, no one gives hands-on personal care such as bathing, toileting, dressing or transfers.
- If a client asks for something outside our services, say kindly that you cannot do it and call the office.
- Policies are in the office and on the policy portal. Read each new policy and sign that you have read it.
