For tasks 401 – 417, please answer these questions as accurately as possible, as they ensure the proper follow-up care is provided from our nursing team.

Supervisor Keoisha Jackson sends a shout to Home Health Aide team members Muriel Beaupierre (pictured left) and Monica Ramus-Hedge (pictured right), on behalf of their client. The client wanted to express her gratitude for her aides. She says she feels very “lucky” to have them helping her and they are doing a wonderful job.
Client safety reminder! It’s time to check batteries in any PERS devices, smoke detectors, and C02 detectors in your client’s home
It is important to make sure that if your client has any PERS devices, smoke detectors, C02 detectors or any other battery-operated safety devices in their home, that the batteries are working properly. To make sure that they are, VNS Health recommends checking and testing these batteries every 3 months. If after checking a battery, it is determined that the battery is low, please change the battery to ensure proper functioning of the device or detector.
Thank you for your help in keeping our clients safe!
