Advantages of working in home care include the following: the unique opportunity to care for only a small number of clients. In the home, the nurse can get to know the client and the family better, has greater flexibility in planning the workday, and is able to assist the client to remain at home, where he or she is most comfortable. Disadvantages of working in home care nursing include working alone much of the time, being required to be on call, providing personal transportation to the client's home (in some cities, public transportation is available and some agencies provide cars), consideration of safety issues, and the large amount of documentation required for the home care agency and third-party payors.
