Home Health Care New York

I take care of my uncle who recieve,s settlement money from the state of New York. Before i begain taking care of him. He was cared for by my Aunt who is no longer abel to do so. His monthly allowence is less then enough to cover the both of our living expences. The reason behind this is he has to pay for all his medical fee's out of pocket. He needs 24hours 7days a week attention. I am rarely abel to have much time to my self. If there is any way that I may be to recieve a form of compensation for i do it would be greatly apreciated.

Do Nursing Assistants,CNA’s, Nurses Aides, Patient Care Technicians, Home Health Aides and Laboratory Technicians require New York State License in New York State?......THANKS......DAD

Certified Nurses Aide(CNA) is a licensed position by the state
the others you have listed (with the exception of lab techs) are not, they are certifications offered by technical schools and are invalid for use in any short or long term care facility that provides patient care and accepts medicare.
to perform patient care in any facility that accepts medicare the CNAs must be licensed in the state of employment. licenses are maintained and administered by the states but they all meet the same federally mandated criteria.

I just moved to New York and am living in Chelsea on the west side. Does anyone have excellent experiences with a general practitioner/internal medicine/family practice doctor as their primary care physician? The closer to home, the better, but I'm willing to travel for good health care.

Not in manhattan- but in park slope, brooklyn is a great internist Dr. Jeffrey Vieira with Long Island College Hospital- the guy knows his stufff-

He was recommended to me by 3 people and i would recommend him- great bedside manner and great current knowledge of issues and healthcare treatments.

actually i think he has an office in brooklyn heights too- it'll only be like a 20 min ride- not too bad!

all the best!

Judge Halts Flu Vaccine Mandate For Health Workers
New York Health Care Employees Won't Be Forced To Get H1N1 Vaccine...
For Now
NEW YORK (CBS) ―

Health care workers in New York will no longer be forced to get the H1N1 swine flu vaccine, CBS 2 has learned.


A state Supreme Court judge issued a restraining order Friday against the state from enforcing the controversial mandatory vaccination.


The order came as the Public Employees Federation sued to reverse a policy requiring vaccination against the seasonal and swine flu viruses, arguing that state Health Commissioner Richard Daines overstepped his authority.


Three parties – the Public Employees Federaion, New York State United Teachers, and an attorney representing four Albany nurses – challenged the order and for now the vaccination for nurses, doctors, aides, and non-medical staff members who might be in a patient's room will remain voluntary.


The health department had said the workers must be vaccinated by November 30 or face possible disciplinary action, including dismissal. PEF said it encourages members to get flu vaccinations, but opposes the emergency regulation requiring the vaccine as a condition of employment.


A judge granted a temporary restraining order Friday morning, PEF spokeswoman Debbie Miles said. A court hearing is scheduled for October 30.


New York was the first state in the country to initially mandate flu vaccinations for its health care workers, but many health care workers quickly protested against the ruling. In Hauppauge, workers outside a local clinic screamed "No forced shots!" when the mandate came down at the end of September.


"I don't even tend to the sick. I am in the nutrition field. They are telling me I must get the shot because I work in a health clinic setting," said Paula Small, a Women, Infants and Children health care worker.


Small said she would refuse to be vaccinate, worried the vaccine is untested and unproven, leaving her vulnerable. In 1976, there were some deaths associated with a swine flu vaccination.


Registered nurse Frank Mannino, 50, was also angry. He said the state regulation violates his personal freedom and civil rights.


"And now I will lose my job if I don't take the regular flu shot or the swine flu shot."


When asked if he's willing to lose his job, Mannino said, "Absolutely. I will not take it, will not be forced. This is still America."


The protest also shook Albany. Hundreds of demonstrators demanded freedom of choice. After all, as health care professionals, they argue they're already constantly washing their hands and aren't likely to transmit or contract the flu.


Around 500,000 health care workers would have been slated to receive the vaccine


"It's certainly their prerogative to voice their opinion," said Dr. Susan Donelan of Stony Brook University Hospital.


Donelan said most in the medical community see the benefits and safety of the shots and welcome them, and that hospitals must obey the law.


"Our hospital is committed to following the mandate to have our personnel vaccinated," she said.


The state said change was needed this year to save lives. Typically only about 45 percent of health care workers take advantage of voluntary flu vaccines.


More than 150 institutional outbreaks of seasonal and H1N1 flu are expected this year in hospitals, nursing homes and hospice centers.


There is also a strong resistance to the vaccine from the general public. A new Harvard University poll shows that only four in 10 adults intend to take the vaccine themselves, and only six in 10 plan to give it to their children.

I don't get the vaccines to protect myself, but to protect my patients. That's my agenda, PATIENT SAFETY!!!

Well, good for you, pat, pat, pat! (on your bald head)

He's the president and gets to mandate anything he wants.

and she was like a grandma to me my shift is from 9 am to 1 pm i also have another job from 11pm to 7 am when i get off my night job i dont get the early bus on time to get to my early job i get a later bus and i usually get at my early job at 9:10 am so i let the lady i take care off know and she said it was ok also for the six months i have taken 8 days off the first time i told her that i wanted to take 2 days of she got upset and said am i getting married? i really didnt know what she meant by that but i didnt really worry about it , so these last four days i had no choice to take of because i was sick with the flu i live in new york by the way and i also was taking a weekend of but she is told that by my agency so the fri i left her house and told i would see her mon because her case/ job is 7 days a week. she told me have a nice weekend i told her the same when i was on my way home my supervisor from my agency called me and said that the woman i take care of called her and said she wants a new aide beacuse i take too many days of and im late . i was very hurt by this because she knew the reason i was taking of and why i was late and i felt betrayed and like it wasnt fair what do you guys think?

It sounds like she is jealous of you having an outside life. Maybe it is a good thing you are no longer her health aide, because she got too clingy and decided you were her property to keep to herself. She may be a little bitter with her circumstance, not being able to go do things she used to do, but that does not excuse her from wanting to take it from you as well, if that is what is happening. There are always two sides, but this is what I see from your story. Good luck with your next job and don't let her bitterness get you down!
