Understanding Nurse Registry Referrals
Learn about the independent professionals a nurse registry may refer.
What Is a Nurse Registry?
A nurse registry refers qualified independent nursing and caregiving professionals to people seeking care at home or in another care setting. Referred professionals are not represented as direct registry employees.
Who May Be Referred?
Feingold Nursing Services may refer Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Certified Nursing Assistants, Home Health Aides, homemakers and companions, according to the client’s requirements.
Screening and Communication
Feingold describes caregiver screening, background checks, credential review and case monitoring as part of its referral process.
Registry and Affiliated Agency
Feingold Home Healthcare is an affiliated but separately licensed home health agency (AHCA License #299994584). Feingold Nursing Services operates as a nurse registry (AHCA License #30211091).
How the Referral Process Works
The family explains its requirements to Feingold Nursing Services. The registry discusses the types of independent nursing and caregiving professionals it may refer and the qualifications that may be appropriate. A referral is subject to individual needs and professional availability.
Questions to Ask About Referrals
Ask about caregiver credentials and screening, whether the person is an independent professional, availability for your schedule, how changes in needs are communicated, and the arrangements for payment and insurance verification.
Planning the Next Step
Have a general description of the care requested, preferred location and schedule, and the best contact details ready. Confirm what services are appropriate for the referred professional before care begins.
