(1) It is common in home care to have per-diem employees. These are staff who are not FTE but are a critical part of day, weekend and/or evening coverage. They receive all the orientation, precepting and quality expectations of full-time staff. It's especially appealing to nurses with young children who want to work around their family's schedule and don't need benefits, as well as to semi-retired nurses who want to keep providing care but not full time. This metric may not contain apples-to- apples comparisons among providers and will be reworked in a future edition. (2) Includes the former VNA HealthCare and VNA East as well as five branch offices. (3) An additional 57 volunteers. —Compiled by Brendan Sullivan.
